Haha! I was actually struggling with something unique, and then I remember that these stories are going to be told again when I am home over the holidays, and the lightbulb went off.
My grandmother's parents came to America from Ireland. My topic is: Read a book that takes place where an ancestor's lived.
For example: I would read a book that the location took place in Ireland. BUT another ancestor immigrated to Virginia, so I could read a book that takes place in Virginia.
I studied medieval history, so my task is:Read a book that is about or takes place in the Middle Ages.
A few more days left to make your own challenge task. :)The final challenge will be posted on January 1st!
I just changed careers and I'm studying to be a librarian in the new year. My task is:Read a book where a character makes a big change or with a librarian as a main character.
My favourite hobby is to make shoes, since I have small feet and could never buy nice shoes. My task is to read a book about someone who makes shoes, a book where shoes have an important role (eg a Cinderella retelling) or a micro-history of a shoe designer/brand.
My ancestor was Titian, the artist, so I will read a book about art.

I like this task! I think Egypt and pharaohs are fascinating. I would also like to recommend a book for anyone who would like to do this task. The Egyptian by a Finnish author Mika Waltari. It has about a gazillion pages, but it's an awesome book!
I'm in a Disney mood. My task is to read a book where any character's name matches with any Disney character's name. Bonus points if you can match up Walt! Example: Peter from The Chronicles of Narnia = Peter Pan
