TASKS

1. Salem, Massachusetts was founded in 1626, and is one of the oldest European settlements in New England, predating Boston. The most notorious chapter of Salem’s history occurred between February 1692 and May 1693. Triggered by mass hysteria, political instability, religious extremism, and local family rivalries, the community turned on itself and the witch trials started.
🧙‍♀️ Read a book set in Massachusetts or read a book where there is a trial or tagged as history.

2. 🧙‍♀️ Read a book with a character who is an author, or a character who is a judge or a character who is powerful.

🧙‍♀️ Read a book that is 20th in a series or where a character is in prison or where the authors initials can be found in PROCTORS LEDGE.
