Mod
Congratulations!! What a way to start the new year. :-)
Congratulations!Question about Option 2 - since it's not specified, can the word be found in the subtitle, or does it have to be in the title?
Thanks allRe option 2 - yes happy to include subtitle - I'll ask the mods to update in the description.
Congratulations on your bundle of joy.

Thank you :)
But no, sorry. No variations on the listed words
What about 'You'? ... definitely a gender-neutral pronoun.
Book Concierge wrote: "What about 'You'? ... definitely a gender-neutral pronoun."It is, and I did discuss with the mods whether to include things like 'you' 'we' 'I', but in the end decided to just stick to the specified list. It and They are the type of pronouns I would use in this circumstance (talking about the baby to someone else). So, no just those on the list.
Okay .. I get it ... you want only third-person pronouns.
Would the book
? Only double-checking so I don't dive into this massive book without approval. The task doesn't specify it must be a multi-word title, but better safe than sorry!

I'm currently experiencing a personal natural wonder - being pregnant with my first baby. So I thought I'd frame a task around this wonderful experience and some of the most common things I get asked about.
The task has three options, choose ONE book from one option. The genres "Sequential Art", "Comics", "Comic Book", and "Manga" are allowed for this task.
Required: Indicate which option you used when you post.
1. When are you due?
January 2018 - to celebrate January babies read a book first published in January of any year.
2. Boy or girl?
I do know the answer to this, but I'm not telling. So I'm always careful to use gender neutral pronouns. Read a book with one of the following gender neutral pronouns in the title/subtitle: It, Its, Itself, They, Them, Their, Theirs, Themselves. The word must match exactly, no variations.
3. How will you manage?
This is a good question! I'm going to be a solo parent so some things are going to be tough. To inspire me, read a book from this listopia of novels featuring single parents: Novels Featuring Single Parents
