50.1 - Diane Whitney's task: Genre Tic-Tac-Toe

newest »



Book 2 - Contemporary: The Never-Open Desert Diner by James Anderson (A)
Book 3 - Mystery: Look Alive Twenty-Five by Janet Evanovich (E)
Does it matter that my genres are not in order? My set goes NF, Contemporary, then Mystery rather than Contemporary, Mystery, NF as in the graph.
Also, if this is OK, can you approve the contemporary genre for my book 2? It doesn't have many users showing and I am concerned it might fall off.
Page count is over 900 so should be fine.

As in this book ..
The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende?

Tic, Tac, Toe, three in a row.
No books with the genres children or kids on the main book page may be used for this task.
For this task, you will make Tic-Tac-Toe from three of the genres listed below by reading three books--a Book 1, a Book 2, and a Book 3. To make Tic-Tac-Toe, your three books must have main page genres (MPGs) that match three squares in a row. Rows may be formed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The page count of your three books must total at least 750 pages.
In addition to the MPGs, your books must meet the following criteria:
Book 1: Author's last name must begin with T, I or C.
Book 2: Author's last name must begin with T, A, or C.
Book 3: Author's last name must begin with T, O or E.
All books must be written by a single author. The genres in your row may be used in any order.
For example -
TIC - Literary Fiction, author's last name begins with I
Book 1: The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
TAC - Mystery, author's last name begins with C
Book 2: Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine
TOE - Fantasy, author's last name begins with E
Book 3: Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson
Required: Indicate which genres you used when you post.
