25.5 - Oma1229/JenneRenee's task: Spring Reading Haiku

So excited to dig in to the challenge this spring. I am hoping to get lots read. In honor of starting the spring challenge, I wrote a Haiku.

My Springtime Reading Haiku

Warm weather fresh air
Sitting in the rays of sun
Stories call to me

Horror, suspense, thrills
Sci-Fi, fantasy romance
And some mystery

Zombie vampires blood
Eating killing surviving
Don't forget to run!

Hair standing on end
Jump, scary, thrilling, screams
Chills run down my spine

Aliens on Earth
Laser beams, spaceships, asteroids
Robots rule mankind

Magic in the air
elves, fairies, witches, goblins
fight to save their realm

Cuddles, kisses, hugs
Butterflies flutter within
True love awakens inside

who, where, when, why, how
search, question, find all the clues
solve this mystery

Discovering all
Another world, different time
I love these stories


Choose 2 different options and read a book for each.

1. Read a book of poetry or a book written in verse
2. Read a book with one of the genres listed in the haiku (horror, suspense/thriller, mystery, romance, science-fiction, or fantasy) on the book's main page. Genres may be stand alone or embedded but if using suspense/thriller both genres must be listed, separate or together.
3. Read a book with a word from My Springtime Reading Haiku that is at least four letters long in the title or subtitle. Possessives, singular/plural, and tense variations are allowed, but no other variation. For example, for the word discovering you could use: discover, discovered, or discovers as well as discovering.
4. Read a book written by an author whose initials (first and last, middle should be ignored) can be found in HAIKU. The initials can be found in any order. If the book has more than one author, only one author needs to fit the task.

NOTE: Books with genre "Children's" or "Kids" that are at least 100+ pages and conform to all other SRC rules may be used for this task.

NOTE: Books with genres “Graphic Novel,�� “Sequential Art,�� “Comics,�� and “Manga�� that conform to all other SRC rules may be used for this task.

Must these genres be listed on the MAIN PAGE?

Children's and Kids do not need be listed. They are allowed if you would like to use them but you are not required too.

Option 2: the Genres do need to be listed on the main page.

These both work.

I want to read these

For option 1, would a Shakespeare play work, being that it's in iambic pentameter?

I'm planning to read these:

Option 1 - book written in verse
Witness by Karen Hesse
(Childrens genre / intended audience- middle school / 161 pages)

Option 3: Word in title from Springtime Haiku
Discovering all

these work.

Option 3: Practical Magic

Bea wrote: "Option 3: Practical Magic"

that works.

Does "this" count as a word? I know sounds stupid but just confirming...

yes it does. As long as it four letters its a word.

Will these work?

Option 2 - The Bourne Supremacy

Option 3 - Save Yourself - The word "save" is in the haiku

Rhonda wrote: "Will these work?

yup they are good.

For option 3 can I use Kiss of Crimson for word kisses?

yes

Thanks ��

Is this book advanced enough for option 1 (a book of poetry / book written in verse)?

When We Were Very Young by A. A. Milne

Amazon and my library show it is for children ages 7-10 (grades 2-4).

I have another book that was previously approved ... but I have to read this one for a different challenge so thought it was worth asking about it.

"Book Concierge wrote: "When We Were Very Young by A. A. Milne

"JennRenee wrote: sure. sounds good "

When We Were Very Young is an early elementary book and, therefore, not allowed for points in the SRC.

Please review #4 under Book Formats and Page Numbers Explained in the Rules of the Challenge.

How about this one for option 2; fantasy? I just want to make sure it isn't early readers, I would place it as middle grades:
Wednesdays in the Tower
