The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

15.1 Cause Knowledge is Power!: Schoolhouse Rock debuted on American television on January 6, 1973.
Read TWO books choosing from 2 different options from categories A-D
A. Conjunction Junction: Read a book with a title or subtitle that contains a coordinating conjunction: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.
B. Unpack Your Adjectives- Read a book with a superlative adjective in the title/subtitle: Best, Worst, Biggest, "Most + adjective", etc.
C. Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla- Read a book with a pronoun in the title/subtitle *note the use of "most"
D. Interjections!- So when you're happy (Hurray!) or sad (Aw!) Read a book whose title begins with an interjection or has an exclamation point in the title or subtitle.
Darn! That's the end!

OR

ONE book that fits two of the categories above.ex. Boom!: Voices of the Sixties Personal Reflections and Lessons for Today option D- Boom! and option A "and"; Why She Buys: The New Strategy for Reaching the World's Most Powerful Consumers options B and C; Yeah, I Said It options C and D

Required: Please state the options you chose when you post

A. Ampersands (&) work as "and"

B. superlative adjectives- from "English the Easy Way" Superlative adjectives are used to compare at least 3 things or 3 groups of things. When we want to state that something is at the highest or the lowest degree, then we use superlative adjectives. Superlative adjectives state that something is the most, there can't be any more or that something is the least, there can't be any less.
stupidest

first, firstborn work for B
"all" is a numeral adjective pronoun not a superlative adjective


C. "your" is a possessive adjective that's not on the list, but It works along with "my"

Since my days of english class are long over I'm having some trouble actually understanding this task.

Is stupidest an superlative adjective? Basically, can I use The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror?

Ha ha. Only on the weekends.

How about "&" instead of "and" for a conjunction:
The Way We Never Were: American Families & the Nostalgia Trap

Ampersands (&) work as "and"

★Meghan★ wrote: "Could I use Me & Emma to cover A & C?"

yes, that works

Just want to double check (grammar was never my best subject): Then They Came for Me: A Family's Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival. I think it works for A (for) and C (me)?

Judy wrote: "For the one book option would For All the Tea in China: How England Stole the World's Favorite Drink and Changed History work?

Pronoun - All (from the prono..."

That works
all- pron. The entire or total number, amount, or quantity; totality

It works

I think this works for options B & C, but wanted to make sure...

His Darkest Hunger

His=Pronoun
Darkest=Superlative Adjective

Will The Best of Me work for B and C?

Connie wrote: "Will The Best of Me work for B and C?"

Yes it will

Will Kill Me If You Can work for A & C?

☆Rebecca G. wrote: "Will Kill Me If You Can work for A & C?"

Oops, I just seen it said coordinating conjunction, back to the drawing board :)

☆Rebecca G. wrote: "Will Kill Me If You Can work for A & C?"

"If" isn't a coordinating conjunction (it's subordinating). Option A requires "For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So"

☆Rebecca G. wrote: "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There for A&C?"

So Scream for Me (book #8) would work for A & C?

BJ Rose wrote: "So Scream for Me (book #8) would work for A & C?"

I think "for" is used as a preposition in the title, but it's on the list so I'll take it

and

Anomander wrote: " and "

Which option for ?

1-800-Where-R-You is the series title. For option C.

lol it turned it into an actual phone number!

Anomander wrote: "1-800-Where-R-You is the series title. For option C."

Series titles don't work unless they are specifically included in the task description- sorry, they are not included in this task

How about ?

Anomander wrote: "How about ?"

"your" is a possessive adjective that's not on the list, but I'll take it along with "my"

Thanks!
