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!)

Reading through the Seasons



I haven't been able to find a reading challenge for this so I'm going to try running my own. There are two levels. Both levels require a season to be part of the title (Autumn in Scotland)

Level 1: read four books, one for each season.

Level 2: read 16 books, four for each season.

Bonus: a complete series with all four seasons

This challenge runs Jan 1 (oops) to Dec 31, 2009

Overlap with other challenges is perfectly acceptable

Holidays do not count unless a season is also included (Winter Dreams, Christmas Love)

You do not need a fixed list & can change it around

Children's books are allowed on level 2 but only for half the title


That's it. Add your name to Mr. Linky and comment on what level you'll be doing. Please link to the page where you have your challenge books instead of to your blog. It makes it easier for others to follow your progress and see your book choices.

I'd like to join this challenge please. I will do the 16 books if Ican find enough on my shelves to qualify. I will post about the challenge and link to you as soon as I can. Thank you.

I have linked my post and will do 4 books for the time being. I could not find nearly enough qualifying titles in my library to do 16. I look forward to seeing what others read and finding some new good books. Thank you.

I am going to post a better review for Forever Autum as soon as my mom finds the book. She doesn't know where she put it and I am now bedridden with my ALS until I get my wheelchair.
