Choose two different subjects and read 1 book for each.

1. Reading: Read a book with the word BOOK found intact in the title/subtitle.

2. Writing: Read a book that has at least 2 words written in cursive on the cover. Cursive will be defined as at least 2 consecutive letters joined together written in a single stroke. This should occur in at least 2 separate words. Author's name or title works. Ex:
The Cuckoo's Calling (Cormoran Strike, #1) by Robert Galbraith Delicious! by Ruth Reichl Voracious A Hungry Reader Cooks Her Way through Great Books by Cara Nicoletti The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach Murder on the Orient Express (Hercule Poirot, #10) by Agatha Christie
Required: Include the cover of the book when you post.

3. Math: 2+2=4 Read a book with 4-word title. At least one of the words in the title must be a 4-letter word. All words count. Books with subtitles cannot be used. Ex: The Girl Who Lied; In the Night Room

4. History: Read a book with "History" or "Historical" as MPG. Genres may be stand alone or embedded. Examples include:
Romance > Historical Romance
Mystery > Historical Mystery
Historical > Historical Fiction
Historical > Regency
Military > Military History
History > Ancient History

5. Science: Read a book by a single author whose initials can be found in SCIENTIFIC METHOD. Letters can only be used as many times as they appear in "scientific method." If the author uses middle name(s) or initial(s), all initials must be found in the word "scientific method."

Ed Lehman | 809 comments Hi..I'm new here. I don't see a page count minimum. Do all 30 point tasks have a 500 page minimum unless otherwise noted?

Each book has a 100 page minimum. Task creators CAN specify a minimum total page count for their tasks, however.

THIS task has no requirement, so 100 pages per book.

Read through the rules of the challenge carefully ...
