Would the Hunger Games prequel work for the series option? I truly have no clue if zero is a whole number...
May I have Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life approved for Gardening? It is last on the MPG list.

ETA: If your intent is to exclude 0, I suggest "positive whole numbers" as 0 is neither positive nor negative, but add it to the FAQ since you'll still get a lot of questions.

"A #0 will work for this task. A decimal will not.

genre noted

"..."If it is next in publication order explain that when you post.
I was thinking of reading Parable of the Talents, with is #2, but the series is only a duology. Is that OK, or did you want longer series?
Mod
That's fine.
Hi, question about option 4 - "To go to interesting places.Read a book set at least 50% in a country on a continent different from your own."
Can this be in multiple countries in the other continent, for example Dork Whore: My Travels Through Asia as a Twenty-Year-Old Pseudo-Virgin? So, it may not be 50% in a particular country, but it is 50% in the different continent.
I was a bluebird for a couple years but then we moved. :(
Thanks!

It must be at least 50% in one country.
Mod
An alternate history would work

I became a Bluebird, the first level of the Camp Fire Girls, in elementary school. I stayed in the organization through high school and continued as a camp counselor and day camp director through college.
