The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

Have a book and don't know what tasks it may work for? Ask here.

Hi, I'm looking for a place where these two books would fit.

Black Enough: Stories of Being Young & Black in America

Emma

Thanks!

Black Enough - yo ucan use for the Lady GAGA task - all letters of MEAT/EGG can be found in title/subtitle

Emma - Cat's Space Opera task - author with a 3 part name

Emma is set in England - 25.3 (4)
Emma has romance MPG - 20.4 (B)
Emma has author name matching a performer name (Smith) - 20.8 (1)
Emma is set in England, AS author initials in the phrase - 15.4 one book option

Thanks so much to the both of you!

Hi! I just finished reading The Woman In The Window by A J Finn. Is there a task in the Spring Challenge where this book might fit besides 5.10?

15.3 Book 1 (MEAT in title: ThE woMAn)

possibly 15.5: A.J. Eaton was nominated for Best Music Film (I don't know whether an author using initials matching a nominee using the same initials would work or whether it needs to be a full name)

25.1 Task B ("For this task, two initials with periods are considered 2 name parts (e.g. E.M. Forster)" so A.J. Finn would work)
25.1 Task C (author's first and last initials AF are in FLASH)
If you read a Kindle edition, ebook, or audio book this would work for Option 2 because the first MMP edition has 608 pages. If you read a paperback or hardcover that is less than 500 pages it would only work for one of the two books.

30.4 Option A Book 1 (Five word title)

Julia, thank you! All the options look promising and will give me more than 5 points too! I really appreciate your help! Normally I have found my books by now but things have been weird lately and I have done zero tasks so far!

Keep in mind that except for 15.5 (which I wasn't sure about) they are all part of two-book tasks, so you still need to find the second book to get the points.

Thanks. I couldn't remember where the one book 15 point tasks started. Meat! I never would have spotted that!

Any suggestions for The Cerulean Queen?

I've already used another book by this author in 20.6 Option 3.

Thanks.

Thoughts on The Poppy War

15.1 Book 2
This is problematical because Book 1 needs to correspond but it does work
(initials RK are in Lenny Kuhr - song is "De Troubadour" or Sandra Kim - song is "J'aime la vie" or Katrina and the Waves - song is "Love Shine a Light" or Alexander Rybak - song is "Fairytale")

20.6 Option 3 (initials RK in RED SOX SUCK)

Ohh 20.6 I don’t have that one yet!

Glad it will work! It's hard this far into the season to find a task that hasn't been done yet.

Or rather I have done it but I can move that book easier - but yeah I wasn’t expecting it so soon the library had like a 3 month wait list which ended up being like a month
