Option 1: The Story CollectorExamples of hybrid genres:
Mystery Thriller
Military Science Fiction
Science Fiction Fantasy
Paranormal Fantasy
Option 1: Biographical Memoir
I'm so jealous you are getting to visit georgia - i was supposed to do a port call there back in 2021 but we hit some bad weather and couldn't pull in - i got a brief stop in romania however - its on the list of places i want to visit sometime
For Option 1: Does MPG "Mystery Thriller" fit this one?
OK, more MPGs to check for books on my TBR:Biographical Memoir
Military Science Fiction
Science Fiction Fantasy
For option 1, do the genres have to be listed together like Science Fiction Fantasy often is (or mystery thriller), or can a book have multiple different genres on its page? Specifically asking about The Story Collector, which lists MPGs of Historical Fiction, Fantasy, Magical Realism and Romance, among others.

Biographical and Memoir are not really different from each other but the other two would work.

Can Paranormal and Fantasy be used as the two separate MPGs?

Realizing that all my tasks are about travel and yet doing it again. Summer gets a bit crazy with the crowds and heat and so I rarely manage a summer vacation. This year, I’m very excited to take time off in the fall to visit the beautiful country of Georgia. Explore with me.
This is a one book task. Read a book of at least 200 pages that satisfies one of the following three options.
Required: State the option you used.
Option 1: Transcontinental
Georgia is a transcontinental country bridging both Europe and Asia with influences from both continents. Read a book that also crosses borders and has a hybrid genres as MPGs either as a compound genre or two different genres.
A hybrid genre blends themes and elements from two or more different genres such as Historical Mystery, Fantasy Romance or Space Western.
Required: State the two MPGs used to make the hybrid.
Option 2: Wine
Georgia is one of the oldest wine producing countries with tons of vineyards to visit. Fall is a great time to visit to watch the harvesting of the grapes. One specialty from Georgia is orange or amber wine which is a tradition in Georgia. Read a book that has a cover with at least 50% Orange. Use Tineye to confirm the percentage.
Required: Include the cover in your post.
Option 3: Khachapuri
One of Georgia’s traditional foods is khachapuri which is a cheese filled bread and absolutely delicious. There are over 50 varieties and we only have about 10 days to try them all. Luckily there is also gorgeous hiking in the Caucasus mountains to offset the bread and cheese. Read book with a single author whose first and last name initials are found in the word KHACHAPURI. Letters may only be used as often as they are found in the word.
