20.4 - Golden Oldies - Lys's Task: Wintering at Riley

I read a lot this last challenge because I needed something to distract me during my kiddo’s heart surgery and the weeks that followed. Options for this task are inspired by our time at Riley.

This is a one-book task.

Required: State which option you chose when posting

Option 1: Due to Covid restrictions, my wife and I couldn’t both be at the hospital while our kiddo recovered from surgery.
Read a book from this list: Long Distance Relationships.
REQUIRED: State the page of the list on which your book is found.

Option 2: While at Riley, I even managed to complete the first book of The Wheel of Time, my wife’s favorite series, and one that I have tried to read, unsuccessfully, many times before.

Read a book that you’ve previously left unfinished.

REQUIRED: State that you’ve started this book in the past, but have not finished it before.

Option 3: Over the weeks, medical professionals assumed a lot of things about our family status, pronouns, and relationships. (Exhausting D:)
Read a book, fiction or nonfiction, with an LGBT MPG.

Option 4: I read aloud a lot too. I’ve found that reading poems is comforting for both me and kiddo, and how many kids can say they’ve “read” all of Shakespeare’s sonnets before they went to school? 😊
Read a book with a MPG of poetry.

If something with over 2k tags falls off, maybe it is just meant to be, haha! Verified. ;)

Sorry if my playfulness wasn't conveyed in text. I certainly wasn't trying to offend. :)

I did not take offence Lys. to be fair I had not even looked at the numbers. I just always get MPGs agreed since having some drop off in previous seasons. All good here and the book is well worth reading even if difficult at some points if anyone wants to give it a go

Hi! Could I get LGBT verified for The Prophets by Robert Jones Jr.? I doubt it will fall off but it's a pretty new book and doesn't have that many reviews yet, so better safe than sorry :) Thanks!

Shanna_redwind | 754 comments Please verify After the Fall for LGBT MPG. Thanks.


message 21: by Kim (new)

Kim | 764 comments The book The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love has a MPG of GLBT. Is that the same as LGBT? When I searched for GLBT under genres, I was taken to the LGBT page.

Will this book work for this task?

Thank you.
