FEBRUARY CHALLENGE
SPANNING THE GLOBE
February 1, 2017 - February 28, 2017

In keeping with our Around the World theme, let's travel through books! Set a goal for the number of miles or kilometers you plan to travel. With every book you read, choose the setting (or settings) and calculate how many miles there are between that point and the previous point using this calculator.

Starting Point: Seattle, WA, USA
First book: The Penelopiad - February 2
- Sparta, Greece (6202.1) to
- Ithaca, Greece (134.0)
Total miles traveled: 6336.1

From Ithaca, Greece
Second book: Ms. Marvel, Vol. 5: Super Famous - February 2
- Jersey City, New Jersey, USA (4781.4)
Total miles traveled: 11,117.5

From Jersey City, NJ, USA
Third book: The Bone Season - February 3

Total miles traveled: 23,774

* The lighthouse in the book is called Janus Rock, which is fictional, but Cape Leeuwin is a real lighthouse in approximately the same place in Australia, so I'll use that for calculation purposes.

MARCH CHALLENGE
TITLE IX* CHALLENGE (Because Women in the Title Make Great Books)
