The Where’s Your Book Set? Meme - July Book Blowout Mini Challenge
Mrs. S, the creator of the July Book Blowout, has decided that it’s about time for a mini-challenge for those participating in the challenge. I decided to give it a go before I’m done reading my book…
Here’s how it works - just answer some or all of the following questions about the book you are currently reading (or just finished if you are between books).
Here are the questions:
1. Title and author of the book.
Janeology by Karen Harrington
2. What year is the book set in?
2003
3. What happened on this day in that year? Go to google and type in the date ie 13 July 1952 and see if you can find a news item for that day
Let’s see… Scott McClellan replaces Ari Fliescher as White House Press Secretary. Very exciting. I can’t find much of anything else, really…
4. Where is your book set?
Texas (I’m not quite sure what city, though it may have been mentioned in the book.)
5. Have you visited that place before? If yes tell us something about your trip. If no, look the location up on google and tell us an interesting fact about the city/country.
Nope, I haven’t visited Texas, so here goes…
According to a website, the name for the state is based on a word used by the Caddo Indians meaning ‘friends’.
And just one more for fun: Texas possesses three of the top ten most populous cities in the United States.
If you’re currently reading a book, then consider yourself tagged. (Even if you aren’t in the July challenge.)
