25.10 - Rina's Task: Working out during quarantine

In Switzerland the gyms had to close in mid-March and stayed closed until mid-May. Because of that I had to search for some home workout routines and found some videos and apps. And even though the gyms opened in May, I still use some of those home workouts in addition to working out at the gym.

This is a 2 book task. Choose one option and complete 2 different tasks from this option. REQUIRED: State which option you choose. One book with the genres "Sequential Art," "Comics," "Comic Book," and "Manga" may be used for this task.

The books must have a combined total of at least 500 pages.

Option 1: Fitness Blender
This was my choice for home workouts. Kelli and Daniel offer over 500 free workout videos that include low impact, HIIT, stretching and strength workouts. The workouts are great and I liked their minimalist approach - white background and no music. Even after the gyms have opened, I still do Fitness Blender workouts 2-3 times a week.

Task 1. Read a book written by a married author. Books with multiple authors will work as long as all authors are married. REQUIRED: Include a reference to establish the marital status of the author if it is not mentioned in the GR author profile.

Task 2. Read a book set at least 50% in Seattle. If the setting is not clear from the GR description or metadata, include a link to a source establishing the setting.

Task 3. Read a book with a word in the title or subtitle containing both letters F and B.
E.g. Beautiful Disaster, Fabled, A Comfortable Wife

Option 2: Zombies, Run!
Running is not my thing, but this app managed to motivate me to go for a run more often.
It is a game, set during a zombie apocalypse. Players act as the character "Runner 5" through a series of missions during which they run, collect items to help the town survive and listen to various audio narrations to uncover mysteries.

Task 1. Read a book with a MPG Zombies.The genre may be standalone or embedded.

Task 2. Read a book that is #5 in a series with a series name that begins with a letter from RUNNER. E.g. Alone in the Wild - Rockton #5, Much Ado About Magic - Enchanted, Inc. #5

Task 3. Read a book with a comma or an exclamation mark in the title or subtitle.
E.g. Xoe: Vampires, and Werewolves, and Demons, Oh My!, Wind, Sand and Stars

For the married authors option, does the author have to be alive? If they're dead but were married at the time of their feather does that count? What about widows or divorced?

I'd say yes to the no longer living authors who were married or widowed at the time of death. No to divorced.

i'm a huge fitness blender fan

That's great, Dee :-)
I've completed 2 of their programs and I like the results. Combining the low impact program with gym training now.

The author bio indicates this is a pseudonym used by a husband/wife writing team ... so does this author work for this Option 1

Cleo Coyle

Yes, they or Ilona Andrews or Nicci French all work.

For Option 2, task 2

Will The Fever Code #5 in the Maze Runner series work or do both series name MR need to be in RUNNER?

Task 2. Read a book that is #5 in a series with a series name that begins with a letter from RUNNER. E.g. Alone in the Wild - Rockton #5, Much Ado About Magic - Enchanted, Inc. #5

The first letter of the first word in the series name counts;
The Fever Code is The Maze Runner #5, first letter is T and sadly does not work.

For option 1 / task 1 - A married author

Loretta Lynn: Coal Miner's Daughter by Loretta Lynn
