15.4 The Force, It's Calling To You
Star Wars: The Force Awakens premieres in US theaters on December 18. It is the 7th film in the Star Wars saga and the first in the 3rd trilogy.

Option 1: choose 2 different options and read a book for each (two books)

a) Read a book with a main page genre that contains "Science Fiction"

b) Read a book that is identified on Goodreads as #3 or #7 in a series (series, #)

c) Read a book with one of these words: star, war, seven (7), seventh (7th), three (3), third (3rd), force, awaken(s) in the title or subtitle. Plurals and possessives work, no other variations

OR

Option 2: Read ONE book that fulfills two different options

Bridgett (brikie) | 5 comments Would Seveneves work for the one-book option? I ask because the author combined seven with eves without spaces.

Sorry, no, Seveneves is not a plural or possessive, the only allowed variations

Bridgett (brikie) | 5 comments Alrighty, how about this.

Does the genre 'science fiction fantasy' work for option A?

I'm thinking The Magician's Land.

No, hyphenated words don't work
"Plurals and possessives work, no other variations"

Star in the Title and its listed secondary as Science Fiction.

Should also note the photo sections in the middle does not count towards the page number listed. ie it goes page 122, photo section, page 123. So total text pages is still 276.

Val | 435 comments About to start a book for this task, but just want to make sure that this is OK. I can read a book that is both third in a series and that has the word "third" in the subtitle? For the one book option

As long as it is the title or subtitle it would work. It is always safest to ask about a specific book
