20.1 Most Improved - FLY's Task: Springing To Mind

This is a one book task, choose an option and read one book for that option.
Required: State the option.

1. My son’s birthday! My son was born on March 1st, and this year was his 21st birthday. Right now we’re recovering from our night out celebrating. His drink of choice was something called an “emerald” martini, though it was actually the color of antifreeze. Eww. For this task choose a book with a drink on the cover. . The drink needs to be a beverage for humans and the container needs to be one that humans drink out of- Glass, cup, bottle, mug... (It doesn’t have to be alcohol, but we should be able to see that it’s an actual drink, not just a drink container.)

examples: , ,
Required: Post the cover

2. The Oscars! I don’t watch them on TV, but I do try and watch all the nominated movies at some point. Since Oppenheimer is leading the pack in nominations, let’s recognize its impact by reading a nonfiction book with Main Page Genre of Biography, Science, or War.

3. Baby Animals! Yes, fuzzy ducklings and bunnies are the first things that come to mind when I think spring. Since the book Fuzzy Yellow Ducklings falls short of SRC requirements, let’s see if we can find a book with ALL author initials in the phrase FUZZY YELLOW DUCKLINGS. Multiple authors are okay, as long as all the initials can be found in the phrase.

4. Spring Break! Much of the world has a springtime or Easter break from school, but in the U.S. spring break is pretty much an excuse for college students to act crazy and kill brain cells. For this option, read a book set at least 50% in Florida.
Required: Provide a reference if the location isn't obvious from the Goodreads main page.

5. Spring cleaning! I hate cleaning, but I love the way the house feels when it’s aired out after winter. Read a book that features cleaning by either (a) being about someone who cleans for a living or (b) showing domestic cleaning supplies on the cover. (e.g. laundry detergent, mop, toilet brush, etc.)

Examples:



Required: Post the cover (if using the cover option) or identify how the books fits the task if it is not evident on Goodreads book page.

fly I might actually love you! I've been trying to find a spot for As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow all season and the author initials work for your task :)

[Fly]

yay!

For option 2, would an MPG autobiography work?

[Fly]

no, sorry... only the MPGs listed will work
I wanted to specifically exclude memoirs, etc. but I figured it was easier just to specify a 'Biography' MPG. I will take an autobiography only if it also has MPG 'Biography'

Morning.

I was wondering - can you confirm the beer glass on the stall middle left of the cover of this one, next to the hand pumps? If so, is that okay for this task.



It's clearer on the Amazon record, which has a bigger image: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01AHKXIA...

Thanks.

[Fly]

confirmed... after a bit of work lol

Assuming that's to me, thanks!

[Fly]

Trish - Yes, sorry! I'm on the app, so no quote reply :)

[Trish]

:-)

The app really is a bit rubbish, isn't it?

Hi! Can you confirm the iced tea drinking glass on the cover for option 1? It's mostly spilled so I wanted to make sure it still works!

[Fly]

Jessica - that works!
