September Birthday Challenge

Duration: September 1 - 30, 2013

Going to the Party: 1-3 books
Dancing All Night: 4-7 books
Greeting the Sunrise: 8-10 books

CATEGORIES: Ten Things That Are On My Mind.
• Latest Kick...Wrapped Up in Mysteries: I’ve been reading more mysteries lately.
Choose a book from this genre. Or, if you read the dead tree version, wrap up several
books in the same paper (making them all look exactly alike), shuffle them, and then
a week later pick one to read.
1. Glory in Death by J.D. Robb


• Blue: My favorite color is blue. Read a book with a cover that is predominately blue.
Check out listopia !
02. Eragon by Christopher Paolini - Currently Reading

• “V” is for...: I’ve gone vegan! It has been a whole year now. Wow. It might be
hard to find a book with a character who has chosen a plant-based lifestyle,
so read a book with a “V” in the title, or by an author with a first or last name that
starts with “V.”
03.
• This Kitchen is Green Powered: Since green is the official color of vegans,
and I love to cook, read a book with a cover that is predominately green. Or where
the main character is a chef.
• Love That Dress!: I started a shelf entitled love-that-dress. Not much on it, yet,
so help me add to it by reading a book that shows a beautiful dress.
• Animals: I’m an animal lover. Read a book with one on the cover.
(It does NOT have to be a book about that animal.)
• Beach, Mountains, Desert: I really need to sell my house and move to something
smaller. But where to retire? The beach, the mountains, the desert? Help me by picking
a book depicting any one of these locals.
• Do You Know Jack?: My favorite hero is Jack Travis in Smooth Talking Stranger,
by Lisa Kleypas. Read a book with a character named Jack in it. Or one written by a Jack.
• Challenge Book: I love challenges on GRs, making them and participating in them.
Read a book that is the first one for a new challenge, or helps you finish off one.
• One More Time: I love to reread my favorite books, often by audio. Revisit one of
your favorites. Or try a book via this media delivery system.
