Only the one book option has to exceed the page count
Can I ask for confirmation for Book B Option 1 - Book set in Italy A Room with a View by E.M. Forster
Thank you!
I’ve never read it to be able to confirm the at least 50% in Italy - you may need to make a judgement call
This is the first time in several years that I’ve managed to finish the season before the 30 point cut-off time and I owe it to the fact that I spent the first 8 weeks of this challenge stuck in hotel rooms waiting to deploy. I was originally supposed to leave end of May, then COVID happened and before I knew it – it was early August and I was finally arriving at my final destination. My first 7 weeks were spent in Norfolk, VA and the last 2 were in Naples, Italy.
For this task, you will read two books, one from Book A and one from Book B. Or you may read ONE book that fits an option in both book A and B with a page total that exceeds 650 pages.
No books with the genre Childrens may be used.
Book A – Norfolk, VA
Option 1 Read a book by an author who lives in/was born in Virginia; or a book where at least 50% is set in Virginia.
Required: If the setting/author locale is not evident from the GR record, include a reference LINK when you post.
Option 2 During my Norfolk stay, I read 12 of the books in Victoria Thompson’s Gaslight Mystery series.
Read a book from the Gaslight Mystery Series
Option 3 while in Norfolk, I had to complete in-processing at Expeditionary Combat Readiness Center (or ECRC)
Read a book where all the letters ECRC can be found in the author's name. Books with multiple authors work IF every author's name contains the letters.
Book B – Naples, Italy
Option 1 Read a book by an author who lives in/was born in Italy, or where at least 50% of the book is set in Italy.
Required: If the setting/author locale is not evident from the GR record, include a reference LINK when you post.
Option 2 Every day I (along with the members of my group) stood on our balconies and watched trucks carry something red and round in crates drove by – which spurred the great Apple vs. Tomato debate (I’m firmly team Tomato)
Read a book where all the letters of APPLE or TOMATO can be found in the title, ignore subtitles.
Option 3 The worst part of our quarantine in Italy was seeing the gorgeous pool at the hotel but not being allowed to swim or even sit by it.
Read a book with a title of at least three words where the beginning letter of every word can be found in NO SWIMMING POOL FOR YOU.
