I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Monthly Key Word Reading Challenge



Monthly Key Word
Reading Challenge
2013

hosted by Kim at Bookmark to Blog

Sign- up here

8-31 update: I can't find the hosting blog so I'm not going to stress anymore about finishing this one.

11-5 update: found it again! 



For this challenge I have chosen ten key words associated with each month in 2013. Your task is to read one book each month whose title includes one or more of the key words for that month. For instance, in January I might read Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah. The key words are listed below.

Guidelines:
  • The title you choose can be a variation on one of the key words. For example- your title could include the word 'snowing' or 'snowflake' even though the key word is 'snow.'
  • Key words can be tweaked. For example- You could read "Cinder" or "Ashes" for the key word 'Fire' and that would be just fine. If the key word is 'family' then your title could include the word 'sister' or 'mother.'If the key word is 'food' then your title could include the word 'cake.'
  • Link up to participate and add additional links any time you post about the challenge or post about a book you read for the challenge.
Sounds great, let's get started! Oh, wait. I have to wait for next year don't I. Do I have to wait until March to read March's book? edit: yes, you do
