25.10 Amanda A's task: Fall Back in Time

For this task, read two books choosing two different options from the following:

A. Read one of the Most Popular books published when you joined Goodreads. To find this, go to the "Explore" drop down menu and select "Popular" followed by "More Popular Books" on the right. Under "Browse Books", select "Browse Books By Date". In the top right corner, there will be a drop down menu to change the year. If you joined Goodreads before 2011, select the appropriate year. If you joined Goodreads in 2011, use the "by month" option and select the month you joined. Read a book from the the book list your selection produced.
B. Read a time travel book.
C. Banned Books Week is September 24 - October 1. Read one of the Top 100 banned/challenged books from the 1990's or 2000's. *
D. Read a Historical Fiction novel or Historical Nonfiction book. Historical Romance will also be accepted for this option.
E. Bucket List - Read a book that has been lingering on your TBR list for at least a year.
*Some books on these lists are considered SRC "young readers" and picture books. Regular SRC rules still apply.

Required: Identify the option you chose when you post. If using option A, include the month/year you joined Goodreads.

This help thread is open!

I just want to clarify option A. if you join before 2011, you just have to read a book in the year in which you joined, right? not the month and year? or do I have that wrong?

thanks!

Outlander works for option B, time travel, correct? Thanks!

The banned books of the 2000s have the Harry Potter series listed, so does that mean I could choose any book from the series to read?

That's correct, Sassafrass. The book only has to be found on the list for the year you joined GR, not the month and year.

Randi, Outlander would definitely work for time travel.

cool task Amanda - I found a book on the banned book list right away that I wanted to read and one that was popular in 2009 not long after

Thanks Dee. Hope you enjoy your books!

i just wanted to check on The Witches for option C. i personally don't think of Roald Dahl books as "early readers" but just want to make sure you'll accept it. thanks for your help! :)

Kiki, The Witches is acceptable for option C. All of the information I found lists a reading level of ages 9-12.
