50.1 - Tammy AZ's Task: Exploration Through Reading

Select one of the options and read three books in that option. Your books must have a total page count of 750+ pages when combined and no kids/graphic novels allowed.

Required: State which option you used.

Option 1 - Road Trip: Read three books that take place on the same continent but in different locations on the continent. For example: Europe - set in France, Ireland, and Italy. Books can all be in the same country but must then be in different cities/towns as the point of the task is to travel.

Required: If the settings are not obvious from the book description or GR metadata, provide a reference.

Book 1: Danger in Numbers by Heather Graham
Setting: North America - Everglades, Florida, USA
352 pages

Book 2: Nightwatching by Tracy Sierra
Setting: North America - New England, USA
From the Reader's Guide on the Penguin Random House webpage: "Nightwatching is set in a New England farmhouse built in the early 1700s, and occurs primarily in late 2020."
355 pages

Book 3: Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano
Setting: North America - Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA
320 pages

352 + 355 + 320 = 1,027 total pages
