Fortnite challenge guide: Collect research books from Holly Hedges and Pleasant Park

With the start of Fortnite season 6, week 8, you’ll want to jump in and complete the new set of challenges. As is common this season, the challenges aren’t too tricky, though some of them do require you to visit certain locations that you might not be aware of. One challenge is to collect research books from Holly Hedges and Pleasant Park. To complete it, you only need to find three of the eight books that are spread out across each area — and you can mix and match.

What this means is that you only have to land at one location to meet the requirements of the challenge, so you should be able to finish this one quickly. In this guide, we’ll show you where all eight books are located, with images of each. Here’s how to collect research books from Holly Hedges and Pleasant Park in Fortnite.

Use the map above (thanks to Fortnite.gg) for reference. As you can see, there are eight research books in total, but you only need to collect three of them, and they can be from either location. We recommend landing at whichever location is the most out of the way to lower your chances of coming across another enemy team. The nice thing is that these books are all relatively close to one another, so you can quickly grab them back to back, even if someone is nearby.

We’ll show you where each of the books are located below.

The best places to land in Fortnite (Chapter 6, Season 1)

Survival is key in Fortnite, and it all starts by picking the best starting location. Even if you're a looper who's been around for each and every season, your likelihood of grabbing that coveted Victory Royale can be gone in a snap if you start off on the wrong foot -- whether it be on a mountain with no loot or a hot drop that could send you back to the lobby in no time.

As part of Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1, a new Japanese-themed island has arrived with new points of interest (POIs) that change the game significantly. However, with these spots, which one is best comes down to your skill and preference. With that in mind, here are the best places to land in Fortnite for the OG sweats, beginners, and everyone in between.
The best places to land in Fortnite
Before jumping into the list, you must understand the basics of what makes a good landing spot. Sure, any location with decent loot and lots of chests might serve you well, but there's more to that. Is that spot often contested by other players in the lobby? Can you farm mats easily? Is it close to other POIs? Is it too far from the Storm Circle? These recommended landing spots all have their fair share of consistency and the best loot that you'll need. They also have some quirks that make them the best depending on your playstyle.

Fortnite Battle Passes are always a hot seller among the player community, not just for the premium content it offers them, but also because it's a great value for those who rarely purchase V-Bucks to buy Item Shop skins.

Battle Passes are a great economic alternative to players looking for free skins in exchange for XP and also some free V-Bucks so they can buy the next one for the following season. The previous season's pass was full of Marvel stuff, with iconic heroes and villains that fans could get.
