20.6 - Seasoned Reader - Inge's Task: Queen Beatrix

The 80’s, a decade in which I wasn’t even born. However it was a really important decade with a lot of things going on. Technology wise, like the first computer, CD player, Internet and go on. But also with the fall of the Berlin Wall. I was really asking around what kind of events people still remember from the 80’s and I got a lot of feedback, ranging all ways. One of those events was the coronation of our late queen, Beatrix.
As I really found her graceful as a queen and even more so through the tragedy of losing one of her sons to a skiing accident this task will be about Queen Beatrix.
This is a 1 book task. Select one option.
Required: State the option.

Option 1. Although officially she is not a queen anymore, she is now a princess, in my head she will remain a queen. Read a book with the word Queen in the title. Plurals and possessives work, no other variations. Subtitles should be ignored.

Option 2: I have always known her as Beatrix, however that was not her full name. Read a book with a title of at least 3 words in which the first letter letter of every word can be found in BEATRIX WILHELMINA ARMGARD. Letters can only be used as often as they appear. Subtitels should be ignored.

Option 3: Princess Beatrix has resigned in contrast to the English queen, they are 12 years apart in age. Princess Beatrix January 31,1938 was born on and queen Elizabeth was born on April 21, 1926. Read a book with a number of pages that can be found in their birth years and ages: 83, 95, 1926, 1938. Numbers may only be used as often as they appear in the list. For example a page number of 283 or 195 would be allowed, 226 would not.

Bea Option 3: This is about the birth years, correct? Where does the 5 in the examples come from?

Nevermind...I re-read the option and found that their ages are included. Need more coffee!

For option 2 - is the middle name spelled correctly? Shouldn't it be Wilhelmina, rather than Whilhelmina?

You are completly correct, my phone made it whilhelmina, didn't notice it with proofreading

Insiyah (insiyahxo) | 0 comments Wanted to confirm if The Woman in Cabin 10 would work? 391 pages in the Mass Market Paperback. I'm reading the ebook, but according to SRC rules, MMP page count is what matters
