I can't believe how nerve-wracking it is to commit to this by writing it here.... :)I will read a physical (hard copy) book I own that does not fit any of the other tasks. This is to help me achieve 2019 Personal Goal #4:
'4. This is the MOST problematic goal, but I am not giving up! => read at least 40 of the piled up books (I now have approx. 86!!! that can't fit on my real life shelves) **AND** donate to spring + fall book sales"
Oops! I ended up duplicating task 10.8.
10.1 Read a book that has won a Science Fiction award.
Second chanceRead a book that was planned for a prior RwS challenge but was never read.

I'm thinking that's what my challenge will be like too @June! I was pretty abysmal in the Spring challenge - the wheels really fell off for me, so this will be a good chance to get one of the books from that list read because I had great ideas for each task. :-)
Feel free to use it. I could broaden mine to include season that I’ve participated in.
Read the next 3 books in a series that I have already started.
How specific should it be? For example could I say , read three non-fiction books, or three nonfiction History books, or three nonfiction American History books?

Yeah!
I really need to start reading some of those books that I have been meaning to read for a very long time, so I'm going to make mine to read a book that's on my Goodreads "to-read" shelf and was added before the start of the summer season. So anything I add now wouldn't count.
10.1 Design Your Own Task - RebekahRead a non- fiction book
I have so many books already penciled in that I hesitate to even do this. But I was looking at the list of Young authors, and think I should do a better job of having some on my list. So,Read a book by a Young author that doesn't fit any other task.

Read a book set in South America by an author from South America.
Read a book written by Australian woman writer & published this year (2019)

My task done over. (See post 3.)I will read a book added to my Wishlist TBR in 2011.
Those are the oldest books on my Wishlist TBR.

Oh I see! I did check Quick Links but didn't go as far as opening any links. Thanks!
My task will be the same as Rebekah's*: Read a non-fiction book.*not that I'm copying or anything :)
Since I'm trying to reduce the number of unread books on my shelves, my task will be to read a book that I've owned for at least a year (as of June 1, 2019).
My personal task is to read one of my leather Easton Press books I have never read before. When I was first married we subscribed to a couple series, although we did stop them after a time, and I have picked up assorted used volumes since. There is something special about holding such a fancy leather bound volume, for all that I love my e-book access. It annoys me a little that I have not read all of them, because they are so nice. They are nice to look at too, but I bought them to enjoy, not just decorate. So here I go.
My task is to read books that were published in the last decade (2010-2019). I'm starting with Man with a Seagull on His Head.
Read a book that helps to develop one's creativity.
It's late in the season but I've been mulling this over...my task is going to be to read a book about parenting!
Read a book by an author I haven't read before.

I was browsing through the list of authors the group has read on the quick list link. Would it be possible to expand Column A so that more of the name is visible? Because it is View only (which of course it should be) I cannot get an arrow to expand it as a viewer.
