Mod
This task made me laugh out loud! I'm accident prone to begin with and since I'm enormously pregnant at the moment, I've been even klutzier than usual. I think I may have to go with Option B on principle, hehe. :D
For B: does it have to be JUST feet, or can the human be attached?
So for part B could I read...
? If not I am sure I can probably find something for B,C, or D...which are all reasons why I have fallen on my booty in the past.
Unless it's just not working for me, both links in part C link to "Ice and Snow". :/
I wanted to read the last Miss Marple's book---Would you say, by looking at her Goodread's Page--
this is the last book?
Miss Marple's Final Cases
Book #14
I want to be sure!
Thanks
This is great fun! The only problem is, I want to read one of each idea; how will I choose which one?;)

Fixed, thanks
nice task Katie - now to decide which one I want to read...lol!
I'm with Karen GHHS...too many ideas/books to choose from!I was a gangly kid growing up - all legs - and everytime I ran, I seemed to trip and fall...especially trying to run up steps. Had constant bruises and scrapes on my knees.

Yes, that would work. And I have definitely fallen for all of those and many other reasons too :)

Kathy, I'll take this -- although the stories seem to have been written at many different times, it's definitely the last one published and it's identified as a series on Goodreads.
i think I have more bruises and scrapes as an adult than I ever did as a kid and i was a tomboy...lol!Bea wrote: "I'm with Karen GHHS...too many ideas/books to choose from!

Laurie wrote: "Would work for Option B?"No, sorry, those appear to be empty shoes without any human feet in them.

Thanks!
Sandra wrote: "Would Altar of Eden work? Lorna Polk is a veterinarian."Sure, I'll take that as a medical professional for A.
Would
by Kate Jacobs work for option B?
Aleksandra wrote: "Would by Kate Jacobs work for option B?"Yes, that works.
Katy - would you accept a midwife as a medical professional? I want to read Monique and the Mango Rains: Two Years with a Midwife in Mali

thanks! I thought so but wanted to double check

Though I love autumn, as a very accident-prone person, when I hear fall I usually think of falling down! So for this task, answer the question of why you might fall this fall, and read a corresponding book.
A. I was sick! – Read a fiction or nonfiction book where a major character is a doctor, nurse, or medical professional or illness/medicine is a major part of the story.
Examples: Beat the Reaper, My Sister's Keeper, The Plague, Intervention, The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story
B. I tripped over my own feet! - Read a book with human feet on the cover. Bare feet, stocking feet, and feet in shoes all work; empty footwear does not. This list may give you ideas, but as with all lists, not all books may fit this task: Feet!
C. It was icy out and I slipped! - Read a book from the Ice and Snow list or the Out in the Cold list
D. I was too tired from staying up late reading! Read the last or most recently published book in a series. The book must be identified as part of a series on Goodreads (series, #)
E. I was staring up at a strange thing in the sky and lost my balance! – Read a science fiction or fantasy book. The genre “science fiction” or “fantasy” must appear on the book’s main GR page.
Required: Identify the option when you post.
