My husband is from California, so when he moved to New Jersey to be with me, he thought it funny we talked about “North Jersey” and “South Jersey.” He said, “You can drive the length of the state in 2 and a half hours!” (He drives fast.) New Jersey may be smaller than California, but it is big in spirit! In honor of my home state, choose one of the following options and read a book that fits the task.
This is a one book task. REQUIRED: State the option you choose when you post.
Option 1: What exit?
Everyone knows the stereotype that everyone in New Jersey lives near a numbered exit on the New Jersey Turnpike. While that is not entirely true, it is true of me. I grew up off exit 5. For this option, read a book that has its number of pages listed as ending with a 5. Please keep in mind the page number rules for ebooks and audiobooks.
Option 2: Down the Shore
One of the great pleasures of New Jersey is visiting the Jersey Shore, or going “down the shore.” Read a book from the list Down by the Sea. REQUIRED: State the page on which your book appears.
Option 3: Jersey Girls are Forever
I have lived in other states, but at heart I will always be a Jersey Girl, born and raised. Read a book by a single author who is a woman and was born in New Jersey. If the Goodreads biography does not include place of birth, include a link to verify that the author was born in New Jersey.
