Every Month a Holiday

edited Nov 18: I give up. I didn't forget about the challenge, I just haven't done anything about it and will have to abandon it for the foreseeable future. I think it's a great idea and hope the site stays up so I can try it again later.




...or birthday, or celebration.... This is a perpetual challenge so I jumped in. CCDPiper has posted the rules, etc... here. And just in case; everymonthisaholiday.blogspot.com :)


"I am going to post by month, what holiday takes place in said month and the person may then choose what book they would like to read. And believe me, it is easy. For example, the month of Emmet Kelly's birthday (he is a clown) a person may choose to read about clowns, a circus, etc, Like Water for Elephants." And since Emmet was born in Peru, Ind., you could read a regional book as well.

"The challenge is one book per month, but it does not have to be in any order." This sounds great except I joined May 13 and have already read April's book. I've only got two weeks to read May's book!

April: Anne McCraffrey's birthday - The Masterharper of Pern (completed 4-3)

May: Armed Forces Day & National Military Appreciation Month - Soft Spots
also, National Missing Children's Day - After Etan (completed 5-30)
After Etan completed 5-30, reviewed
