You can use it for either 2 or 3.

I love your task, Donna Jo! I grew up in northern Illinois, so I can relate :) I checked out a couple Christmas books from the library the other day, hoping to fit them into the challenge, and your task is perfect for them! Pretty sure these work...

option 1 - Dashing Through the Snow "snow" in title
option 4 - Wishes for Christmas Christmas genre

[Val]

To make sure I have this right:
Option 2 - Room by Emma Donoghue Initials ED
Option 4 - The Burgess Boys genre Family

You chose well. They both work.

[Maya]

[BellaGBear]

Oh, Maya, you are trying to scramble my poor mind with that cover. But after spending the afternoon thinking about it, I'll let you have it. MMM... my poor brain.

Bellagbear, this works--and it looks like an interesting book.

thanks. I realize now that it was a bit unclear what I meant. :P SO just to be sure: would this be a winter activity?

[Donna Jo]

Bellagbear, yes, that will work. I need to get this put up in the approved box.

Thanks!"

Yes. I read it several months ago and it's definitely family.

[Donna Jo]

I will be away for a week. I should be able to check my internet at least intermittently, but it may be 48 hours before I get to messages. Do not despair! I'm not ignoring you.

[Cindie]

For option 2, can I read An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz? Both "R" and "D" are in the phrase "dressing warmly." Because he last name is hyphenated, can I just use the "D"?

Cindie, yes you can. In fact, you would have to use the D, as hyphened words count as one word in the SRC universe.

Verified. That cover looks enticing after today's drippy weather--not quite freezing...but...

[Adria]

Will Daphne du Maurier work for "Dressing warmly?" I don't know whether to count the little "d" as the beginning of her last name.

We'll follow the "last word is the last name" rule, so yes this will work.
