Would this work for your Option A?
The Silent Hour by Michael Koryta or
Walking in the outdoors. I wasn't sure if you wanted more than 1 person for this or if a solitary person worked.
Thanks Beth
Would this work for B?
It's the moon, but just not from the perspective we usually see it (that is, close up and colonised).
I am assuming that this is a moon based on the tile of the book:
Will this work for either option B or C?
How about this for option 3?
Thank you

No the idea is to show that the sun and moon shine light.
Sorry

Fandury wrote: "Will the Apocalypse count as a theme for Option 3?Wastelands II: More Stories of the Apocalypse"
Yes, the Apocalypse is a theme
Kim wrote: "Will this work for either option B or C?Yes this would work for both options
How about this for option 3?
This one does work for Option 3
Option A -activities in outdoor setting -doesn't have to be sports, yes?I'm thinking beach weddings like
?
I think these are ok, but wanted to confirmOption A:
Option B:
Thx!
May I use
; the theme is fantasy heroines who can kick butt on their own.
for option 3 - Daughters of Darkness - theme being all of women who were a different daughter born to Vald the Impaleror Small Town Summer - all romances set in small towns - is that close enough?
Would this work for Option A? I believe she's walking.
And this for Option B?
Would these work for Option C?Unnatural Creatures (Theme: unnatural creatures)
Redeployment (Theme: Afrghanistan and Iraq Wars)
Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation (Theme: punctuation)
Thank you!
Question about option E: the task says "read a book that has a title (title only, no subtitles) that contains the letters: M-O-N-E-T." Is it still okay to read a book with a subtitle, just that all the letters have to be found in the title, i.e. the subtitle may not be used?
Looking for approval for these:Option A: activity: riding
Option C: theme: science fiction stories inspired by fairytales
Division: A Collection of Science Fiction Fairytales
Would this work for Option 3? HELP FUND MY ROBOT ARMY!!! & Other Improbable Crowdfunding Projects. GR description: "an anthology of science fiction/fantasy stories told in the form of fictional crowdfunding project pitches, using the components (and restrictions) of the format to tell the story."

Impressionist Art is very distinct and unique, let’s take those ideas and put them into our reading.
This is a TWO book task. Pick 2 different options and read a book from each.
REQUIRED: State which options you chose when posting.
Option A: Impressionism is centered around normal every day activities. Read a book that shows people participating in activities in an outdoor setting on the cover.
REQUIRED: Include the cover when you post.
Option B: Impressionism includes the play of light. Read a book that shows the sun or the moon on the cover.
REQUIRED: Include the cover when you post.
Option C: Impressionist painters used short strokes and dobs to paint their pictures. Read an anthology or a book of short stories or essays that are built around the same theme. A theme is a central idea or a particular subject. So, something like Must Love Hellhounds because all the stories feature hellhounds. A collection of stories written by the same author or that fit the same genre is not a theme.
REQUIRED: State the theme.
Option D: Impressionism began in France in the 1800’s. For this option, read a book set entirely in France between 1800 and 1899. The majority of the book must be set during the 1800-1899 time period.
Option E: Impressionism derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, Sunrise. For this task, read a book that has a title that contains the letters: M-O-N-E-T. The letters can appear in any order and they can appear more than once within the title. These letters must appear in the title. Subtitles and series titles are not included for use in this option.
