I like to think it’s fitting that I got to create this task, since I feel like 2017 has been a year of a lot of improvements for me. I created this task around all of the positive changes in my life this year.
Option 1: I started my new job as an actuarial analyst this year, and I’m absolutely loving it. For this option, read a book that has either “Mathematics” or “Economics” as a Main Page Genre. Genres can be standalone or embedded.
Option 2: I also moved to Boston, a city in which I’ve wanted to live since I was a teenager. One of my favorite parts about living here is the beautiful New England Fall season. So, read a book set at least 50% in one of the six states of New England- Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, or Connecticut. REQUIRED: If the setting of your book is not evidence from the description or metadata, please explain how the book fits the task.
Option 3: In order to get through a difficult time about a year ago, I started voraciously reading fantasy novels for an escape. I haven’t slowed down since, and I’m a much happier person now that reading has become my major hobby. I’ve since started to read more widely, but I think that fantasy will always be my most beloved genre. For this option, read a book from the first five pages of the Most Interesting Magic System Listopia.
REQUIRED: Include in your post the page number of the list on which your book is found.
Option 4: My parents got a new puppy this year, and I’m absolutely obsessed. I always look forward to holidays when I get to fly home and spend the whole time playing with him. In his honor, read a book by a single author whose first and last initials can be found in the word (and dog breed) MALTESE. Letters can be used only as often as they appear.
