Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

If you like the Read-the-Month challenge, but is having problems with the multiple-lettered months? If you like to take your time, and prefer a slower pace?

Read-the-Season Challenge follows the same format as our popular Read-the-Month Challenge, except that you have a whole season to finish your books

To make it more interesting, we will be using different languages each year for our Read-the-Season and Read-the-Month challenges. For 2012, we will be using Irish.

Here is the timeline:

GEIMHREADH (Winter) - December 22, 2011 - March 19, 2012
EARRACH (Spring) - March 20, 2012 - June 19, 2012
SAMHRADH (Summer) - June 20, 2012 - September 21, 2012
FOMHAR (Autumn) - September 22, 2012 - December 20, 2012

READ-THE-SEASON Autumn CHALLENGE: F-O-M-H-A-R
Duration:September 22, 2012 - December 20, 2012

Rules are simple. Using the word FOMHAR, pick a book title or author (first or last name) that begins with the letters in the chosen season.

Have a great Autumn Season of Reading
