The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

30.7 - Chandni's Task: Momentous Places

Even though I've been a part of this group for at least 7 years, this is the first time I've ever completed a challenge. I think that's a very momentous milestone for me! I started thinking about the last significant milestone in my life and I realized that I couldn't choose.

I've recently moved to the fourth country I've ever lived in, so in honor of the places I've lived and the memories I've made in each of them, here are my momentous places.

For this task you will need to read 2 books and choose two different options. The combined page total must be greater than 600 pages.

REQUIRED: In your post, state the options you used.
For all 4 options, if the setting of the book is not clear from the Goodreads page, please provide a source for the setting. If the author page does not show the country they were born in, please provide a source for their place of birth.

Option 1: I was born in Mumbai, India. Being born is a momentous occasion right?

For this option, read a book that is set at least 80% in India, or the author was born in India.

Option 2: When I was 3, my family moved to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I made my first real friends in Dubai and I broke the only bone I've ever broken by falling off a jungle gym.

For this option, read a book that is set at least 80% in the United Arab Emirates, or the author was born in the UAE.

Option 3: When I was 6, my family moved to Vancouver, Canada. Every significant moment I can think of happened in Vancouver. I graduated from high school and university, made lifelong friends, and experienced immense joy along with immense sadness. My immediate family all still live there and Vancouver will always hold a special place for me. I'll always be a Canadian at heart.

For this option, read a book that is set at least 80% in Canada, or the author was born in Canada.

Option 4: I won't get too mushy here, but my partner is a wonderful and supportive man. We met as children and stayed in touch (on and off) through e-mails and instant messaging for nearly 20 years because he's British. We reconnected as adults and a few years ago, I moved to the UK to be with him. This is my most momentous relationship and it certainly did take some work!

For this option, read a book that is set at least 80% in the United Kingdom, or the author was born in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).
