25.1 - TessaVanessa’s Task: Book Style ChallengeI took a Children’s Literature class in college and loved discovering the different ways picture books were written and presented. There were lift-the-flap books, pop-up books, books that had pockets with extra materials, books with cut-outs, etc. I have never forgotten how much I enjoyed the different forms. This has carried over into my adult reading.
Read 2 books, from 2 different options. REQUIRED: Specify in your post the options you used. One book with the genres sequential art, graphic novel, comic books, manga, etc. may be used.
Option 1: Books in Verse: Ellen Hopkins was the first author I discovered who wrote fiction books in verse. I was hooked. Read a book from one of these lists (caution: not all titles will meet SRC requirements):
Verse Novels Read by Tess
Teen Novels in Verse from Barnes & Noble - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/book...
Novels in Verse
REQUIRED: State which list and page number it came from.
Option 2: Epistolary Fiction: The term "epistolary novel" refers to the works of fiction that are written in the form of letters or other documents.
Read a book from this list: Epistolary_Fiction
REQUIRED: State the page number of the list on which your book was found.
Option 3: Graphic Novels: Who knew that I would enjoy reading graphic novels. I certainly didn’t think they were for me, but this challenge has expanded my reading into genres I’d never read before.
Read a book with a MPG of sequential art, manga or graphic novel.
Option 4: Plays: The first play I remember reading as an adult was Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller. It was my first year of leading a book discussion group and I was learning the likes and dislikes of my members. They weren’t as keen on trying different writing styles as I was.
Read a book with a MPG of Plays.

The task asks for a book from the list
The single author rule only applies to tasks that ask for author-related information- initials, name, etc
