Jannelle (jannellereads) | 64 comments FALLing into Winter Reading Challenge

In this Quarterly Challenge for October, November, and December, we are celebrating the change of seasons and what comes along with the exciting transformation from Fall to Winter.
All you have to do is select the Reading Level and Topics for the books you will be reading and cross them off your original post as you read them. Of course, you can either choose your topics in advance or select the topics as you read the books - whichever way you prefer is perfect!

Here are the rules:
1. Choose your difficulty level and create a post so that a link can be made which we will all be able to reference.
2. If you change your difficulty level at any point in time, DO NOT DELETE THE POST. Simply edit your original post with your new difficulty level.
3. As you continue to complete the books on your list, go back to your original post and add the books and the date which you completed them in conjunction with the topic you had selected for that particular book.
4. ALL TOPICS MAY ONLY BE USED ONCE. Same is said for books. You cannot use the same book for 2 or more different topics. You can, however, use the same book for other challenges you may be participating in. :)
5. The books chosen can be from ANY genre and are all only limited to the topics selected from the list below.
6. You can only repeat challenge topics if you have already used up all 13.

If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask!

Reading Levels:
Newbie: 1-3 books
Rookie: 4- 6 books
Intermediate: 7- 9 books
Addict: 10 – 12 books
Book-a-Holic: 13 + books
