20.2 - Rookie At The Top - McCathy's Task: Lucky Charms

I love cereal but I don't indulge in it very often. So when I found myself in the grocery store the other day and craving something sweet, I decided, hey why not! As you can guess, I went with a childhood favorite - Lucky Charms! It will be my inspiration for my first attempt at creating a challenge for SRC.

This is a one book task. Choose one of the following options.
No book with the main page genre Childrens or Kids may be used for this task.
Required: Identify the option.

Option 1 - There are 8 types of marshmallows that represent different lucky/magical charms that are now standard in the cereal: a) Hearts, b) Shooting Stars, c) Horseshoes, d) Clovers, e) Blue Moons, f) Rainbows, g) Balloons and h) Hourglass.

For this option read a book with one of these shapes in the title or subtitle. Singular or plural forms are acceptable, no other variations allowed. Please note: for Shooting Stars and Blue Moons, the title MUST include both words together, as in The Sound of Shooting Stars or Blue Moon Rising.

Option 2 - The mascot for Lucky Charms is Lucky the Leprechaun. Leprechauns are mythological creatures, sometimes called fairies, from Irish folklore.

For this option read a book with a main page genre of "Fairies", "Ireland", or "Irish Literature". The genre may be standalone or embedded.

Iced was REALLY good, although it was Dani. Burned and the rest go back to Mac, though, so I'm excited to give them a shot. :)

It does have Ireland on main page, but it also lists Children's so I'm sorry but that would not work.
