The Summer Olympics will be held this month in Tokyo, Japan. I know I will be glued to the television to watch a variety of competitions. Here's a list of words associated with the Summer Olympics. Choose one (or more) to spell this month. You may use the first letter of the title (exclude: A, An, The), or the author's first or last initial.
Word choices :
anthem
crew
diving
equestrian
fencing
flags
Greece
gymnastics
karate
medal
swimming
Tokyo
wrestling
(You may also spell a word of your choice that you feel represents the Summer Olympics; tell us about it.)
===========================================
All books used must be a minimum of 100 pages long - Page length determined by HARDCOVER 1st edition. If there is no Hardcover, then the most popular paperback governs page #.
You may read in any format - text, audio or e-book. If using audio or e-book I suggest using Amazon.com's "look inside" feature to get a page number for your quote.
You MUST finish the book before you can claim credit for completing a task.
A book may be used for only one task, even if it would satisfy the challenge for multiple tasks.
