50.1 - Tammy AZ's Task: Exploration Through Reading

Spring is a time when many people travel for Spring Break or start planning their summer travels. This task is a reader version of travel and has three options. 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.

Option 2 - Intercontinental Travel: Read three books with each book being set on a different continent. For this task Russia is considered Asia.

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

Option 3 - Flights of Fancy: Not everyone likes to travel physically so in this option read three books with each book having a MPG of Fantasy or Science Fiction.

These will work

Option 3:
Where Sleeping Girls Lie
The City & the City

Maybe for another task

Morning.

Sorry to sound a bit dense, but for Option 3, is it all Fantasy, or all Science Fiction, or can it be a mix of both?

And equally, can the books have both MPGs, or is it one or the other?

Cheers.

I don't think you're being dense, I came with the exact same question!

[Tammy AZ]

For Flights of Fantasy, you can mix up the genres, one Fantasy and two Sci-Fi or vice versa. A book can also have both as a MPG. Enjoy!

[Meg]

Would a fictional location work for Option 2? I wanted to count The City & the City for Europe - the gr blurb states it is set "somewhere at the edge of Europe"

Perfect. Thank you.

Can I get MPG Fantasy locked/noted for Where Sleeping Girls Lie? It is currently last. Thanks!

This is approved.

This one won't work for Option 1 or 2 but is perfect for Option 3.

[Fly]

for option 2, does the book have to be set entirely on the continent or will a majority suffice?

Most of the book should take place on the continent. If it's more than 50% that will work.

[Fly]

thanks!

[Julia]

For Option 3, is it ok for all three books to be in the same series and therefore the same fantasy or sf location?

[Tammy AZ]

Yes all three books in the same series is ok!
