20.6 - It's A Fact - JenJ IA's Task: It’s Booked! You’re Invited to a Fall Reading Retreat

My book club started with a group of friends from work and has branched out to other friends and family over the past year. We are planning a Fall Reading Retreat and just booked our vacation house. We can’t wait! It will be a fun weekend of reading, relaxing, and fun with friends! While we know you can’t all make it to the reading retreat, you’re INVITED to read lots of books with us!

Required: Choose one option and state your choice.
Books with the genres "Sequential Art", "Comics", "Comic Book", and "Manga" may be used for this task.

Option 1: Where - We tossed around many ideas and were torn between a schoolhouse loft apartment and a farmhouse with lots of different spaces to read, both indoors and outdoors. We ultimately decided on the farmhouse because it was hard to turn down the outdoor spaces, even if it might be too cold to use them. Read a book by an author whose first and last initials can be found in either FARMHOUSE or SCHOOLHOUSE. Letters may only be used as often as they appear. If there are multiple authors, only initials of one author must fit the task.

Required State which word you used.

Option 2: When - The reading retreat is planned for November 8-10th. Read a book in a series numbered 8, 9, 10, or 11. Whole numbers (no x.5 etc). The series must appear in greyscale on the GR book page.

Option 3: The Vibes - Fall seems like the perfect time of year to be cozy and have nothing to do but read. To set the scene, you need a fire, a cozy blanket, snacks, and your beverage of choice. Read a book with a fireplace, campfire, blanket, food, or drink on the cover.

Examples:

Required: Post the cover

Option 4: Who - We are a group of eight women who mostly work together in the Science field. This year we also added a friend, who works in Animal Science, and my sister, who works at a History Museum. Read a NONFICTION book that has the MPG of Science, Animals or History.

Option 5: The Books - We take turns picking books and have read some really good ones this year. They have mostly been hits for everyone. We have read the following books in 2024:
The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon
The People We Keep by Allison Larkin
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
The Love of my Life by Rosie Walsh
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar

Read one of these books, OR read a book whose title or subtitle shares a 4+ letter word with one of these titles. Words must match exactly (punctuation may be ignored).
Required: If using the title match option, state the word and which book it matches with.
