TIOLI February 2021 CFF Mystery Challenge Challenge

Challenge #2: Read a book for the February CFF Mystery Challenge Challenge

***PLEASE READ. I'm in the hospital for a long visit (not bad, just boring.) I can't brain, I have the dumb. And, therefore, this set of challenges will be easier and different. The first challenge of each set will be theme-related. Secondary challenges will be a grab bag. There will be nothing complex, no not many long-winded explanations (hey, I resemble that remark!), no pics. Thankfully, I had thought of many of these beforehand.***

Please remember you can have two open challenges.

There will be *6* different book challenges (in sets of two). (The challenges change each month.) You won't know what your particular challenges will be until you roll a random number.

You can use https://www.random.org/ (the widget at the top right), Google "random number 1 to 6," or, if you have one, roll a die.

NOTE: After a certain number of challenges have been given out, I will re-randomize the list. So you really will not know what you will get!

Post the number here and I will give you your challenge. For any questions, please ask here or in a PM. Embedded words, as a rule, are allowed but partial words are not. For instance, in one case, a word like "walked" must include the entire word and not just the word "walk." Tags must be first level, i.e. do not click on "show all." No restrictions as to fiction or nonfiction unless otherwise stated in a challenge.

I'll allow *some* leeway in interpretation of the challenges, but try not to push it. When I say "significant" or "major" or "main" I will be strict. This is me, being strict:



Note: If I give a link to a list of books, it does not mean they *all* qualify for a challenge. The lists are simply starting points. If a book is on a referred list, it will not be accepted if it doesn't fit the challenge.

Shared reads ARE allowed. Shared challenges ARE NOT allowed. That is, if someone reads a book published in 2021. You can read the SAME book. You can't read a different book published in 2021 (unless you get that challenge yourself.)

#1 Challenges are being rerandomized.

#2 One challenge has not been picked yet.

#3 The theme is in honor of libraries because "February is dedicated to the people who love whole buildings devoted to the reading, housing, organizing, categorizing, finding, studying and otherwise loving books. It’s National Library Lover’s Month!" ~ gfwc.org

It is a month-long celebration of school, public, and private libraries of all types. This is a time for everyone, especially library support groups, to recognize the value of libraries and to work to assure that the Nation's libraries will continue to serve.
