Option 2. SPORTSMANSHIP - Read a book with a one word title.
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Option 6. HOMERUN DERBY - This is a fun contest that major leaguers participate in to see who can hit the most homeruns. Youth contests may have different rules to suit the time constraint. One way to set it up is to let each kid have 10 hits and then track the number of homeruns and/or the farthest hit. At any rate the rules need to be set up clearly in advance so there is no dispute.
Your book selection for this option requires some preplanning.
Make a stack or a list of 10 books you really want to read. Either write the book names on pieces of paper and draw one out of a hat or assign each of the 10 books a number and use the Random Number Generator on the right-hand side of the random.org page (change the max number to 10) to pick your "home run" book.
Required: State which options you used and include any required information when you post.
The Witch's Daughter by Paula Brackston
I went through my "to-read" books and wrote down the top 10 books I've been wanting to read for a while on individual pieces of paper. I put them into a hat and picked "The Witch's Daughter".
