World Landmarks - The Statue of Liberty
May 1, 2019 - June 30, 2019
7/7

✔1. The Statue of Liberty, fashioned after the Roman goddess Libertas, sits on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. Her original name is "Liberty Enlightening the World" and she welcomes visitors to the US and proclaims freedom for all people around the world. *Read a book that takes place in New York city - They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera 9/7/19
or read a book with a statue on the cover.

✔2. Designed by French architect and sculptor, Frederic Bartholdi, Liberty was gifted to the US by France to commemorate the centennial of the American Declaration of Independence. The tablet in her hand reads JULY IV MDCCLXXVI. He created a smaller replica for France which now stands on its own man-made island in the Seine. *Read a book you received as a gift or read a book whose author's first or last name begins with F or B. - The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks 5/3/19

✔3. Construction of the statue began in France in 1875. It was then disassembled into 350 pieces and brought to the US in September of 1885 where the 89 foot pedestal was ready and waiting for it's lovely lady. A year later, assembly was completed and Lady Liberty was opened to the public on October 28, 1886. *Read a book that was published in September or October or read a book that has at least 350 pages. - Moab Is My Washpot by Stephen Fry 5/9/19

✔4. Made of copper sheeting over an iron frame, the statue arrived in the US looking like a shiny new penny. It took roughly 20 years for the oxidation to patina Liberty to the greenish-blue hue she is today. *Read a book with a green or blue cover - by Salman Rushdie 5/1/19
or read a book that starts with a letter in COPPER.

✔5. The seven spikes radiating from her crown are meant to be a halo of light known as an aureole. The number seven was chosen to represent the world's seven seas and continents. You can access the crown by climbing 354 steps inside the statue but it is strenuous and equivalent to climbing 20 stories.*Read a series book #7 or read a book with a royal character that could wear a crown (tell us who). - The title character in The Duchess of Padua by Oscar Wilde 5/18/19

✔6. The torch in the right hand of the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of enlightenment and was meant to enlighten the path to freedom. The original copper flame was replaced with 24 carat gold plating during a restoration project initiated by President Ronald Reagan in 1984. *Read a book with a light or flame on the cover or read a book where a restoration project happens (tell us what was restored). - an old car is restored in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Ian Fleming 7/15/19

✔7. For a period of sixteen years, the nine arc lamps originally placed in the torch allowed the Statue of Liberty to function as a lighthouse and during that time the statue was under the operation of the Lighthouse Board. But it wasn't as functional as they hoped and the cost soon outweighed its effectiveness. In 1924 it was declared a National Monument and operation of the statue was transferred to the National Park Service. *Read a book that takes place in a National Park or read a book with a lighthouse on the cover or mentioned in the text (share text location and phrase- Text- Lab Girl by Hope Jahren - p.69-"...we can distinguish a lighthouse with a square base from one that is rounded by the way the ripple hits us..." 5/6/19

Challenge #240- Stress Free Reading Challenge
☯ULTIMATE A-Z CHALLENGE☯
see- https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

A to G
No time limit (of course) Beginning 5/1/19-

This challenge is a combination of all the a-z challenges out there mixed with some a-z scavenges-type challenges.

*LEVELS
Easy Peasy - Choose 4 or less out the 8 for each letter to do. (Mix and match between all 8.)
Almost All the Way In - Choose 5, 6, or 7 out of the 8 to do. (Mix and match between all 8.)
ALL IN...Choose to do all 8.

**Feel free to take up to 3 free-passes on scavenger or letter section if need be. Example if you never read cozy mysteries, you could use a free-pass on this one, or skip finding an Author starting with X. Also no need to say which ones you want to use your free-pass on beforehand.

***As an added bonus you can choose to do this as One Post per book or you can post a book twice...once for the scavenger challenges and once for the letters. You decide which you want to do.

****Post a template of this and what level you're playing at. If you're doing Almost all the Way in or All In--you may want two posts in a row, maybe 3 if you like to post covers for each book.

For Scavenger sections of challenges: You can choose any; 1,2,3 or all 4, to do. Use books that fit the descriptions of each word. Where covers are needed they should be posted.

For Title: A book Title starting with that letter (excluding the, only because there are so many that start with THE)

For Item: Any item on the cover starting with that letter.
ex. This cover has an AX on it... Odd & True by Cat Winters this cover has ICE CREAM on it The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay For difficult to find letters like Q, U, X, Y, and Z, you can get creative. (For example; with letter X you could use the word X-Factor and use a book with someone or something you feel has the x-factor. An example for Y could be a book with a yellow cover. Feel free to search words on google and see what you can come up with.

For Author: An author's first, or last name starting with that letter. For letters that are difficult to find a middle initial will work or a name with that letter in it if you can't find anything else. You pick what you consider, difficult to find.

For Character: One of the main characters, whose First or Last name or Nickname in the book that starts with that letter. For those hard to find letters, like Q, U, X, and Z, any character in the book will do.
