September 2020 Mini Challenge: Back to School?
Begins: 01Sept20 / Ends: 30Sept20


The continuing COVID19 pandemic is challenging our usual academic calendar. Some schools / universities have students back in the classroom. Some are continuing with remote learning. Some are using some sort of hybrid measure.

TASKS
Read a book ...
* Where the main character's FIRST name begins with a letter in MASK (tell us the name)

* With a title that begins with a letter in: RECESS (ignore A, An, The)

* With two people on the cover WHO ARE DISTANCED from one another. (Post the cover image)

* Whose author's first and last initials are in: CAFETERIA (letters may be used only as often as they appear in the target word)

* With a character who is a student -or- a teacher. (Tell us the character and role)


===========================================


All books used must be a minimum of 100 pages long - Page length determined by HARDCOVER 1st edition. If there is no Hardcover, then the most popular paperback governs page #.

You may read in any format - text, audio or e-book. If using audio or e-book I suggest using Amazon.com's "look inside" feature to get a page number for your quote.

You MUST finish the book before you can claim credit for completing a task.

A book may be used for only one task, even if it would satisfy the challenge for multiple tasks.

EXAMPLE of a successful post:
Title begins with a letter in BLUE: - Unless You Can Be a Unicorn ✔ - 31May19


If you'd like to be recognized as finishing, the challenge, please post a new comment alerting me to your finish. I do not get notifications when you edit your original post.
