DHASG September Challenge

Introduction: September is the doorway into autumn and the final goodbye of summer. We're back into our fall routine or soon will be. Let's welcome Fall back by reading, and building our September challenge around our reading this month.


Rules:


1. Any member of the DHSAG can sign up for the challenge throughout the month of September.
2. All books must be read between September 1st and September 30th.
3. A book may only be used once in the challenge.
4. Post or link to your final stats when you are completed.
5. In your stats, list book name, title and date read. Unless obvious, include why you choose a certain book in parenthesis in your stats.

Level:

1. To The Nines : Read 9-12 books.
2. Hello Fall!: Read 5-8 books.
3. Goodbye Summer!: Read 3-4 books.

Categories:

1.Manners Never Go Out of Style!: Since September is National Courtesy Month, let's read a book with a lead character who has very good manners. You could also use anything that brings to mind good manners in the book you choose.

2.Do-Si-Do!: September is International Square Dancing month, so read a book that involves square dancing or another folk dancing type scenario. You could also read a book that involves a rural or country setting or storyline (Westerns, historical or contemporary would count).

3.Classics Never Go Out of Style: For Classic Music Month, you can celebrate by reading a book that brings to mind classic music. It could be a historical romance, a book where the lead character is a musician who plays classical music, a book named after a classical music song. You could also look at a list of classic music terms and use that:

4.Hispanic Heritage Month: For Hispanic Heritage Month, read a book with a lead character who is Hispanic or Latino, or a book set primarily in a Latin American country. If you can find a book with Spanish in the title, that will count (The book can be written in English).

5.Self Improvement Month: You can either read a non-fiction book in an area that you need improvement or read a fiction book in which a lead character walks the road to self-improvement.

6.Pardon Me!: On September 8th, we can take the opportunity to seek forgiveness from others or simply practice good manners and say "Pardon Me," or "Excuse Me." You can read a book where a character takes the initiative to seek forgiveness from someone else. You could also read a book with "Pardon", "Excuse", "Forgive" in the title.

7.Don't Procrastinate!: September 6th is the day to Just Do It. Don't wait or put it off. Read a book that you have been procrastinating about, or even one that you thought you might want to read but never made the commitment to do so.

8.Grandma and Grandpop: For the first Sunday after Labor's Day, Let's celebrate National Grandparent's Day by reading a book in which a grandparent or any kind has a big role (or a grandparent-type figure).

8.What's Your Fortune?: For Fortune Cookie Day on September 13th, you can read a book that is set in California (where they were invented), or has a title or theme/storyline that sounds like or brings to mind a common fortune you might see. Here is a list:
