30.1 - Schatzie's Task: as suggested by Cindie: Fall Means Friends

When I was a kid, I lived in a rural area, so going back to school in the fall meant seeing my friends again! Even though I am "grown up," now, I still cherish my friends. In honor of my friends, and the friends in all our lives, this task celebrates great friendships and our great love of reading! Enjoy!

This is a 2 book task. Please choose 2 different options below:
Required: Identify the options when you post.

Note: Books with the genre "Childrens" or "Kids" may NOT be used.

1. Jaime, Jamie and Lori: We all met in Sunday School in 4th grade and have remained great friends well into adulthood -- even our kids (those of us who have them) are friends.
For this option, read a book by an author whose first and/or last name starts with a "J" or an "L." Middle names and initials do NOT count.


2. Jennifer: I met Jennifer when she was 2 and I was 3. Jennifer had (and still has!) an amazing imagination -- she made it seem like anything was possible.
For this option, please read a book with the genre "Magical Realism" or "Fantasy" on its main page.

3. Laura: My friend Laura did not come into my life until we were both moms, and I like to say she does her best to better my health, if she doesn't kill me first. She has introduced me to hot yoga, spinning, pilates and boot camp.
Read a book with "Self-Help" on its main page.

4. Mah Jongg : Sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. I have played in the same Mah Jongg group for 20 years, and we have seen each other through deaths of parents, divorce, infertility, pregnancy, child-bearing and rearing, moving, issues with our children and pets. We even manage to talk about our favorite books.
Please honor this group by reading a book with more than one author. Your book may be a single work by co- authors or a collection or an anthology by multiple contributors. There must be at least two names listed in the book's author credits.

5. Book Club: I have belonged to a book club since my oldest son, who will be 21 in September, was 2. For the last 5 years, one of our criteria is that you must have read a book first before you suggest it for our book club book. Move through those TBR piles and read a book of your choice!
