The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

15.2. Falling?
Although we're all thinking of the autumn season, another meaning for "fall," involves falling down. For this task, choose two different reasons why you might fall this fall, and read a book for each of those two options.

REQUIRED: Specify in your post the options you chose.

1 . I was sick! – Read a fiction or nonfiction book where a major character is a doctor or nurse or in which illness/medicine is a major part of the story.
Examples: Beat the Reaper, My Sister's Keeper, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer.

2. I tripped over my own feet! - Read a book with one or more human feet on the cover. Bare feet, stocking feet, and feet in shoes all work; empty footwear does not. REQUIRED: Include the cover in your post.

3. 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, #).

4. I was staring up at a strange thing in the sky and lost my balance! – Read a book with the main page genre science fiction or fantasy, standalone or embedded.

As the task states, if a major character is a doctor, it works.

I can see the feet, so that book is okay.

For option 2 .... can you see the FEET on this cover?


Here's a LARGER image

yep, I see them.

Would either of these qualify for option 1 - Illness/medicine a major part of the story

- Mother reflects on her autistic son (who has died)

- Pianist dealing with his diagnosis of ALS

Every Note Played would work - his illness and medical treatment is a major part of the book.

Love Anthony doesn't really fit.

Glad I asked ... there's a wait list for Every Note, but I've put in a request. Will check for other options just in case ...

Will the second book of a 2 part series work for Option 3?

Tamburlaine the Great Part II by Christopher Marlowe 10/27/19

yes

Queen Bee Darlene

I would like to use Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane as option 1

Ask Again, Yes

One of the main characters Anne is a nurse; mental illness and also addiction are the major storylines in this book

Unfortunately, the description of the book doesn't give this information as I'm sure they didn't want to give anything away. I have linked a review that I found that gives this information. Will this work?
https://bookpage.com/reviews/24035-ma...
The 2nd paragraph talks about Anne being a nurse; the last paragraph talks about the mental illness.

Can you verify this will work based on this information?

Thank you!
