30.1 - Katrisa's Task: Spring Zodiac

This is a 2 book task. Pick one option and read a book 1 and a book 2 for your chosen option. Total page count must be at least 500 pages. One children’s/middle grade book may be used.

Required: State the option.

Option 1 - Pisces - February 19-March 20

Book 1: Pisces is the 12th sign of the zodiac and its symbol is 2 fish. For this task read a book from a series with at least 12 published works. Your book can be any number in the series including .5s as long as there are at least 12 primary works in the series. The series name must appear in greyscale on the Goodreads book page.

You can determine how many primary works there are by clicking on the series name in grayscale on the book’s main page then look in the top left corner under the series name to see how many primary (not total) books are in the series.

Book 2: The tarot card associated with Pisces is The Moon. Read a book with the word MOON in the title (not subtitle). Word must be standalone, not embedded. Plural or possessive will work but no other variations.

Option 2 - Aries - March 21- April 19

Book 1: The symbol of Aries is the Ram which is identified with the ram with the golden fleece in Greek mythology which Jason famously quested for with his Argonauts. Read a book from the first 20 pages of this list of books with quests.

Required: State the page of the list your book is found on.

Book 2: The tarot card associated with Aries is The Emperor. Read a book with one of these royal titles for men in the title (not subtitle): EMPEROR, KING, PRINCE, DUKE. Word must be standalone, not embedded. Plural or possessive works.

Option 3 - Taurus - April 20- May 20

Book 1: The symbol of Taurus is the Bull. Taureans are known for being stubborn - I know because I am one. Taurus is ruled by Venus, who is the goddess of love. Read a book with a word of at least 4 letters in the title (not subtitle) that can be made from the letters in “STUBBORN AS A BULL” or “LOVER NOT A FIGHTER”. Choose one phrase. Letters can be used only as often as they appear.

Required: State the phrase you used.

Book 2: The tarot card associated with Taurus is the Hierophant which portrays a religious figure and in some decks is called the High Priest or The Pope. Read a book with an MPG of Religion.

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Would this work No Ordinary Love (Journey's End Billionaires, #1) by Ann Christopher - Ann Christopher LOVER NOT A FIGHTER

Also can I lock in Religion for Paradise Valley. It says Religious and it's a Christian Fiction book.

Many thanks

Yes for No Ordinary Love (LOVE can be found in LOVER)
but the MPG for the second book has to be "Religion" which is not listed on the main page genres.

Julia (julia103) | 2717 comments For Option 1 Book 1 is a series of connected anthologies acceptable?

I want to use Anything With Nothing which is #17 in the Tales of Valdemar series.

I don't see anything in the task wording that would rule out short story collections/anthologies or multiple authors, but wanted to check.

I just want to confirm that the only series that matters is the one in gray scale at the top. I would like to read this book for Option 1 Book 1: Beneath Dark Waters (Romantic Suspense, #28; New Orleans, #2) by Karen Rose

It also has a series being #2 in a city subset of the main series, but the gray scale series seems to be its main series. According to the main series description, that city subset is ancillary to the other.

You're good with that one, The series in gray scale lists it as #28 so the secondary series doesn't matter
