4. To avoid further questions/problems, please refer to the TASK DESCRIPTIONS and The Rules of the Challenge.
Thank you for helping keep the record keeping for the challenge as manageable as possible.
25.5 - MEGSCL's Task: Between the LinesFirstly, grab the last book you finished reading (any format, doesn't matter if it was for SRC or even if it's eligible). And I mean the last book as of NOW, the first time you read this task.
Take that book and note down the first sentence of text in the story, and the last sentence of text. Do count: prologue, preface, introduction, epilogue. Don't count: index, about the author, dedications, opening quotes/poems, chapter titles, acknowledgements, previews of other books.
If for some reason you can't access the last book you finished (already returned to library, can't transcribe audio, etc) use my example below, The 52-Storey Treehouse.
Book 1: Read a book with a title that has a word matching a word* from the first sentence* of text. Subtitles are excluded.
Book 2: Read a book with a title that has a word matching a word* from the last sentence* of text. Subtitles are excluded.
*Words must match exactly and be at least 3 letters long, excluding "and" and "the". If your sentence doesn't have at least 3 words that are eligible, you can add the next/previous sentence until you get at least 3 words to choose from.
Required: State the last book you read (or if you use my example) and the first and last sentences.
For example, I just finished reading The 52-Storey Treehouse
The first sentence is: Hi, my name is Andy. This is my friend Terry. (used two sentences as the first only has 2 eligible words)
The last sentence is: 'One 65-storey treehouse with a pet-grooming salon and a birthday room coming right up!' I say.
Book 1: Imaginary Friend (friend) or Before You Knew My Name (name)
Book 2: Birthday Girl (birthday) or Monday's Not Coming (coming)
25.4 - Delicious Dee's Task: Ted Lasso!It was recently announced that season 3 of Ted Lasso would premiere on March 15, 2023. To say i’m excited is, likely, understating my excitement (mostly because of how season 2 ended). So let’s BELIEVE and celebrate in the return of Ted Lasso.
For this task you will flip ONE coin (https://flipacoin.fun/)
HEADS - Use Season 1.
TAILS - Use Season 2.
Alternately, if you don’t want to use season 1 or 2, you may use Option 3.
No Books with the genre Childrens or Kids may be used.
REQUIRED: State the option and/or the result of your coin flip
Option 1- HEADS - SEASON ONE
Season 1 sees Ted Lasso (Jason Sudakeis) hired by Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) to be head coach of AFC Richmond.
For this option, at least one book, must be #1 in a series of at least 3 published books. The series name and number must be indicated in the GR title listing in grayscale italics above the title.
Book 1 – Read a book where a single author shares a name with one of the actors who appear in the MAIN cast of Ted Lasso.

i.e. Infinite (first in series, JEREMY shares name with Jeremy Swift)
Book 2 – Read a book where a word from one of the SEASON ONE episode title names appears in the book title. The word must be at least four letters and must match exactly. Subtitles are excluded.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Las...
Required:: State the episode name
i.e.Children of Blood and Bone– Children for Episode 4 - "For the Children"
OPTION TWO - TAILS – SEASON TWO
Season 2 opens halfway through AFC Richmond’s season where the team is defying all odds and predictions in their performance.
For this option, at least one book, must be #2 in a series of at least 3 published books. The series name and number must be indicated in the GR title listing in grayscale italics above the title.
Book 1 – Read a book where a single author shares the name with one the main CHARACTERS in Ted Lasso.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Las...
Required: State the character name.
i.e. Steel Princess by Rina Kent for Roy Kent, #2 in series
Book 2 – Read a book where a word from one of the SEASON TWO episode title names appears in the book title. The word must be at least four letters and must match exactly. Subtitles are excluded.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Las...
Required: State the episode name.
i.e. Christmas Carol Murder – CAROL for episode 4 - "Carol of the Bells"
OPTION 3 - SEASON THREE
Alternately, if you don’t want to flip a coin, you may read ONE book of at least 600 pages that is #3 in a series where either
A. ALL the letters BELIEVE appear in the title/subtitle, or
B. ALL the author's initials can be found in TEDLASSO
The series name and number must be indicated in the GR title listing in grayscale italics above the title.
The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch – SL found in TEDLASSO, #3 in series and is 600+pgs
25.3 - Chris MD's Task: 1930s Lit and ListsOne of the things I really enjoyed about the Winter challenge was all the books I read either from the 1920s or set during the 1920s. That got me thinking about books from and about the 1930s. Despite (or maybe because of) the Great Depression, it was an amazing decade for literature, and many of the works are still popular today. I also really enjoy Goodreads’ list feature because it gives me an opportunity to “browse” by different categories. So I’m combining these two things in this task.
Read two books from two different options.
REQUIRED: Specify in your post the options you used.
Option 1: Best Books of the 1930s - There are so many good books to choose from.
Read a book from the the list Best Books of the Decade: 1930s
Be careful. There are a number of children’s books here, so be sure the book meets other SRC requirements.
REQUIRED: State the page number of the list on which your book was found.
Option 2: It’s Almost Like Being There -
Read a book set more than 75% during the 1930s.
Here’s a list to help you with your search: Best 1930s Historical Fiction, but your book does not need to be from this list.
REQUIRED: It the 1930s setting is not evident on the book's main page, include a reference when you post.
Option 3. The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett (first published 1930) – The stuff that dreams are made of. This classic gave us the hard-boiled gumshoe Sam Space, quite different from detectives like Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.
Read a book from the list: Best Hardboiled and Noir Fiction.
REQUIRED: State the page number of the list on which your book was found.
Option 4: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (first published 1932) - Modern library rated this book number 5 on its list of 100 Best English-Language Novels of the 20th Century. It has also been listed by the American Library Association as being among the 100 most challenged books for each decade from 1990 through 2020.
Read a book from the Best Banned Censored and Challenged Books list.
REQUIRED: State the page number of the list on which your book was found.
Option 5. Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston (first published 1937) – Of the three books listed here, this is my favorite, and it has one of my favorite opening lines: "Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board." Hurston was a key literary figure in the Harlem Renaissance.
Read a book from The Harlem Renaissance list.
REQUIRED: State the page number of the list on which your book was found.

20.9 - Moderator's Pet - Florence's Task: Busy BeeI almost didn't take part in this season's reading challenge as I'm going to have a LOT on my plate over the coming months, but then I had to opportunity to host moderator's pet so couldn't say no. However I suspect this season will be my lowest scoring yet! With that in mind here is my list of lovely and overwhelming things keeping me away from my TBR pile.
Pick one option.
Required: State the option.
Books with an mpg of sequential art, graphic novels etc. are allowed for this task.
Option A: MOVING HOUSE
My partner and I are finally (hopefully!) able to buy our first home together! Which is one part exciting and two parts terrifying.
Wish me luck by reading a book from this list of one of my all time favourite tropes: Books With A House As A Character.
Required: State the page of the list your book appears on.
Option B: DECLUTTERING
We'll be moving from a large rented flat to somewhere probably much smaller so I've been on a MAJOR decluttering spree. Five bags full of books went to the charity shop!
Read a book with a 5 or "five" in the page number, title, or subtitle. Plurals, possessives, hyphenated words, larger numbers (such as 365) and compound words that preserve the meaning are allowed. Ordinals are not.
ex. Five Ways to Fall, Slaughterhouse-Five, Fivefold, Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen
Option C: NIECE
The thing I suspect will keep me BUSIEST is the imminent arrival of my first niece. I have MANY nephews but this is the first girl of the new generation! My brother was terrified at the idea of raising a girl so he got lots of books on feminism for Christmas! Welcome my niece into the world by reading a book that meets SRC rules from one of these lists:
Books Every Girl Should Read
Best Feminist Books
Required: State which list you are using and which page your book appears on.
25.2 - Robin P's Task: An Ode to ChocolateI have always loved chocolate, though my tastes are rather plebeian. Occasionally, I sample a handmade boutique truffle with an unusual flavor like lavender or chili, and I think, “What a waste of good chocolate!”
Choose two different options and read a book from each option
REQUIRED: Specify in your post the options used.
1. 3 Musketeers: One of my favorite chocolate bars is 3 Musketeers. I feel like the other bars, such as Snickers, just interfere with my enjoyment of the yummy chocolate nougat in the center.
Read a book with a title of exactly 3 words. Subtitles should be ignored.
2. M & M: Another perennial favorite is M & M’s. (And it has nothing to do with the gender or attire of the mascots!)
Read a book whose author’s full name (as listed on Goodreads) has exactly 2 M’s in it.
Acceptable: Mary McCarthy, Emma Straub Not acceptable: Mimi Matthews
3. Forrest Gump’s mother famously said “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.” The idea is that life contains surprises.
Read a book from this list of Twist Ending Books:
Required: State the page where the book is found.
20.8 - Nickels & Dimes - Jen K's Task: Egyptian SpringMy first day of March was spent arriving in Cairo where I will be working for the next month. It is my first time to visit and while it will be mostly work, I do hope to do a bit of exploring.
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: The Nile. The river is beautiful and central to the city and I’m excited to watch the sunset on a felucca tomorrow. Read a book were all the letters in “NILE” can be found in the title. The letters do not need to be intact or consecutive. Subtitles are excluded.
Option 2: The Pyramids. I cannot leave without visiting the pyramids. As a math teacher, I’ve often used the pyramids as a real-life example of a 3 dimensional shape. The base is a polygon (flat with straight edges) and all other faces are triangles which means no curves!
Read a book written by a single author whose initials (all initials) are made of letters without curves. Letters may be reused, as in LL, Laura Lippman
Letters without curves for this task include: A, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, N, T, V, W, X, Y and Z.
Option 3: Religion. Ramadan will start at the end of my trip and next month will celebrate both Coptic Easter and Eid al-Fitr which are the major two holidays in Egypt. The market is already full of colorful lanterns to ready for Ramadan.
Read a book with a word in the title or subtitle of at least 4 letters/characters that can be made using only the letters found in either "Coptic Easter" or "Eid al-Fitr".
ex. Eid al-Fitr, fire: Heir of Fire
Coptic Easter, escape: The Escape Room
Required: State the holiday chosen and the word.
20.7 - Shorter is Sweeter- Jen B's Task: Me TimeThis year has been pretty rough on my family so far. In all the chaos of taking care of others, I've been reminded of the importance of also taking care of yourself. So, carving out some "Me Time" in each day has become incredibly important. Obviously, I love to read, but I have a few other "Me Time" pastimes, too. These are a few of my favorites.
Choose 1 option.
Required: State the option.
Option 1: Peloton
I'm a huge fan of my Peloton. Even if I only do a 20-minute workout, some type of movement in my day is a must! Leaderboard hashtags are a fun way to connect with other Peloton users and share love for favorite instructors. Some of mine are:
#BYOE,
#CalliesKillaCrew,
#WeRide4Leanne, and
#RKSolidCrew
Choose ONE hashtag and read a book by an author whose initials (all of them) can be found in that hashtag.
Required: State the hashtag.
Option 2: Paint-by-Numbers
I've always loved art, but I've mostly only looked at it rather than created it myself. But, lately, I've developed a relaxing evening ritual of making a cup of tea, listening to an audiobook, and working on a paint-by-numbers painting.
Read a book that meets SRC rules from the first 25 pages of this list: Best Book Cover Art
Required: State the page.
Option 3: Cooking
Being in the kitchen has always been fun, but after my son's recent T1D diagnosis, I have been spending time experimenting with new, low-carb recipes that the whole family can enjoy.
Read a book (fiction or non-fiction) with an MPG of Food or Food and Drink
These lists may help (but you are not required to read a book from the list)
Food Related Non-Fiction
Food-Related Fiction
20.6 - It's A Fact- Angela IL's Task: Things I Love in Books!! I recently watched a couple of Booktube videos where creators talk about things they love in books (i.e. themes/ keywords, tropes). I love creating lists, so I wrote down about things I love in books, which included time travel, mixed media, dysfunctional family dynamics, mental health representation, age gap/ forbidden romance, social commentary, second chance romance, sliding doors, and therapist/ counselor as main character.
I decided to create my task with three of these themes in mind.
The book must be a minimum of 300 pages.
No books with the MPG children or kids may be used.
Read a book that can be found on the first 25 pages of one of these lists below.
Required: State which list you used and the page number of the list on which the book is found.
Option A: Mixed Media
I will instantly add a book to my TBR if I hear that there is mixed media in it (letters, diary entries, podcast, text/emails, newspaper articles, interviews). Some of my favorites include: Sadie, The Last Housewife, and Love and Other Words.
Option B: Social Commentary
I really enjoy social commentary in books, whether it is subtle or obvious. I enjoy learning and reflecting on topics or issues I never gave much thought to become open to new ideas. Some of my favorites include: Reprieve, Such a Fun Age, and Kindred.
Option C: Mental Health
As a sufferer of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, panic attacks, and depression, I like to see representation in books of other individuals who face these issues on a daily basis too. Some of my favorites include: Maybe You Should Talk to Someone , Everything I Never Told You, and The Brown Sisters series by Talia Hibbert.

There are just a few days left in the Winter 2022-23 Challenge, so there are some things you need to do NOW!We post this message every season, so theoretically most of you should know the drill. I want to emphasize this point that we make every season, and that some of you always choose to ignore.
You need to get your tasks posted without waiting until the last day. I cannot guarantee that I will review all posts by midnight on the 28th - I am having an eye procedure on the morning of the 28th, so my endurance for reviewing posts that day may or may not be great. If I don't review all posts on the 28th, I will get them reviewed on the lst. You will still get credit for them if they are posted completely and accurately on the 28th, but you should not count on my reviewing them and giving you a heads up on problems in time for you to correct them.
I will absolutely be prioritizing - I will do my utmost to review posts from the folks who have that one last post for the last day. I will not be stressing about the folks who decide to wait and post a whole bunch of tasks on the last day.
1. Post any tasks that you have already completed NOW. If your tasks are not posted completely and correctly by midnight Eastern time on February 28, you don’t get credit for them, no matter why they didn’t get posted.
To get credit for a task, it must be posted with all necessary requirements in the post and the books must fit the task. If you have any doubts about a book that you’re planning to read at the last minute, you should get it approved in the help thread (and include that information in your post) to avoid any last minute disappointments.
If you're claiming a children's book, I suggest including the AR Bookfinder information, even if you don't notice the genre childrens on the main page. That may avoid problems.
2. From here on out, you should post tasks as you finish them, rather than holding them to post a bunch at a time. And, please, before you post, read the task requirements! If something says REQUIRED, you must include it. Read through the task requirements one last time before you post, to make sure that your book actually works for the task and that you’ve included everything. And, for a list task, check again to make sure the book is actually on the page of the list that you're saying - if you found it on the list 2 months ago, it may well have moved.
Just do your posting as you read, and avoid any unnecessary problems.
3. If you’re planning on reading any books that only exist in e-book form, make sure that they’ve been approved for length. Check the spreadsheet linked in post 1 of the ebook verification thread first, and if your book hasn’t already been approved, post in the approval thread NOW, so that there will be time to do the research and give you approval. You need to request ebook verification by February 27. Ebook verification will not happen on February 28.
Remember that the spreadsheet line or post # MUST be listed in your completed task post for any book that only exists in ebook form, and that ebook only formats may not be used for tasks that require a specific number of pages or page limit.
4. Check your Readerboard totals for points, Golden Oldies, It's A Fact, and Big Books NOW. If they don’t agree with your records, first make sure that you check the post through which the Readerboards have been updated. Then check your math, check to see if you have messages in the ?/problem thread, check to make sure that you’ve actually posted the tasks that you think you have – GR has been known to eat messages! If checking all of those things doesn’t resolve the discrepancy, post in the ?/problem thread right away, giving as much info as possible so that I can try to resolve it.
And if it's clear that you'll be finishing the challenge, please don't post this stuff - I'll be deleting it as soon as you finish anyway.
If a problem was noted with one of your posts, be sure that you reposted the task in the regular posting thread - an edit to the old post, or a note in the ?/problems thread amending the post is not sufficient.
Let's try to have a smooth and problem-free end to the Winter Challenge! This will be my last season as moderator, and I would love to have it end on a good note!
