Setting the Scene

Group to nominate 25 tasks relating to the setting of the book. Setting can be either place or/and time.

For the challenge:
Read 25 books for the following tasks:

Everyone may nominate 2 tasks from now until Saturday. Then I will open the nominations again until we have 25 tasks.


Please stick to these general rules:
- Tasks may not be set for graphic novels or books that are less than 150 pages long.
- Don't nominate tasks that are unfairly restrictive, e.g. forcing participants to acquire expensive or obscure books, or find books set in their home town (it's easy for some, impossible for others).
- Since this challenge is not genre-specific, don't limit your tasks to any one genre.
- Be creative.

Enjoy!

Jax, would "set in an Academy" also include boarding schools?
