20.6 - SEASONED READER – Mai's task: Midway Through The Year

2019 marks a watershed year for me as I made a big, permanent move halfway across the world, to finally settle down after years living in shared dorms and rooms I couldn’t be proud to call my own.

To share in my excitement, choose one of the following options and read one book that fits the task.

Required: State which option you used when you post.

No books with the main page genre children or kids are allowed for this task.

Option 1: In my previous country, I rarely had access to physical copies of new titles in English and had to scour used bookstores for the accidental book brought in by random travelers. Now, my favorite pastime is browsing bookstores and thumbing through those that are published recently. For this option, read any book that was first published this year (2019).

Option 2: 2019 also marks the first in 20 years that published works from before 95 years ago enter the public domain in the United States (background reading on the issue here). To celebrate free access and the expansion of the public domain, read a book first published in 1923 or before.

Option 3: I’ve participated in the SRC intermittently since 2013, and while much has changed in my life, reading has stayed the one constant. Not until now, however, can I gather my books into my own library space.
Read a book that has one or many books on the cover. Here's a list if you need some suggestions (but the book you read does not have to come from the list): Books on Books: metacovers
REQUIRED: Include the cover in your post.

By Book or By Crook (Lighthouse Library Mystery #1) by Eva Gates

Yes, one book is fine.
