SU 23 Sub-Challenge Summer

[Kate S]

Summertime ... and the livin' is easy ...

June, July and August are the 6th, 7th and 8th months of the year. Let's play with those numbers.

Read 10 books, where 6, 7 or 8 letters/words meet one of the criteria below. Authors may be repeated at any time.

Although numbered as a regular season, this is like a regular sub-challenge. For each round, you must read for each of the "tasks" without repeating any of them.

10.1. Number of letters in author's first or last name
10.2. Number of words in title
10.3. Number of words in subtitle
10.4. Number of letters in a title word (title only, but book can have a subtitle)
10.5. Number of letters in setting, city/state/country (Setting is at least 51%)
10.6. Number is in year of Author birth
10.7. Number is in original pub date
10.8. Number is in MPE page count
10.9. Author first/last name begins with the 6th, 7th, 8th letter of the alphabet (F, G, H)
10.10. Title begins with the 6th, 7th, 8th letter of the alphabet (F, G, H). Leading articles of The, A, and An can be ignored.

Scoring:
10.1-10.10: 10 points
100 point finisher bonus

Listopia Chain

Read a book of your choice. Pick a listopia associated with your book. Your book could be anywhere on the Listopia. The example below is that the first book in the chain happens to be #1 on the Listopia, but that is not required. Choose your Listopia carefully, because your Book #2 must be in the Top 100 of that linking Listopia.

Find another Listopia where your second book is in any position. On that new Listopia, your third book will be in the Top 100. And so on.
