February 1st ~ February 28th
Levels
3. Sweetheart: Read 3-4 books
1. Harriet Tubman--February is Black History Month, and Harriet Tubman is one of the greatest heroes of African American history. She worked on the Underground Railroad and freed many slaves. Read a book with a fearless, strong, passionate heroine. She is the kind of woman who would risk her life for what she believes in.
2. Pearls of Ice—February is helmikuu in Finnish, which means “month of the pearl,” referring to the fact that as the snow on tree limbs melts and refreezes, it forms pearls of ice. Read a book where the heroine is wearing pearls, the cover makes you think of a cold, icy scene, or the story takes place in the Frozen North, be it Finland, Alaska, the Arctic, or even the Northern US states. If the author’s name is Pearl or a character’s name is Pearl, you can count the book.
3. Groundhog Day—February 2nd is Groundhog Day. Read a book in which a character comes out of hiding, either literally or figuratively.
4. LGBT History Month—In the United Kingdom, this month is set aside to recognize people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered. Read a book with a character (even a secondary one) who is lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered.
5. World Marriage Day—The second Sunday of February is the day in which the institution of marriage is recognized. Read a book with married protagonists, or a story that involves marriage.
6. Amethyst—The birth stone for February is the Amethyst. It symbolizes piety, humility, spiritual wisdom, and sincerity. Pick one of these traits and read a book that represents this trait to you.
7. Anti-Valentine—Read a book with a character who doesn’t believe in love or fears falling in love.
8. Leap Day—Every four years, February has 29 days. Read a book that is either: the fourth in a series, has four words in the title, involves a rare event occurring, or the author’s first or last name has four letters.
9. President’s Day—For those of us who live in the United States, we celebrate the birthday of two presidents this month: Washington and Lincoln. For this challenge, you can read a book with a hero who is a leader of his people.
10. St. Valentine’s Day—It’s up to you to choose how you can represent this holiday in your challenge. It can either be through symbolism, characters that come to mind, or subject matter, but you cannot use a book that has a heart on the cover or has a red color. Otherwise, knock yourself out.
11. Love is a four letter word—Read a book that has ‘love’ in the title in any form (meaning: lover, loving, loved, beloved, unloved, you name it.) You can also use a book that has a word that is a synonym for love in its title.
12. Chocolate feels like love—Usually, people give each other chocolate for Valentine’s Day. Science says that chocolate stimulates the brain in the same way that the first feelings of love for someone does. Read a book that is by an author you love, because chocolate just makes us happy , just like a good book does(unless you’re allergic!).
13. Super Bowl Sunday—The first Sunday (February 3rd) in February is Super Bowl Sunday. You can use any book you’re reading on this day to count for your challenge.
14. Red/Hearts—The first Friday of February is National Wear Red Day in the United States. It’s for awareness of heart disease. You can either choose a book that has a red cover or a book that has a
