DHASG November Challenge

Introduction: It's hard to believe that this year is almost over. November is the second to last month of the year, and the start of the Holiday season, with Thanksgiving this month. On the DHASG, we're thankful for everyone's participation on this group and in the book challenges. What are you thankful for? Take the time to think about that. Let's hope you can give thanks for great reading this month.

Rules:


1. Any member of the DHSAG can sign up for the challenge throughout the month November.
2. All books must be read between November 1st and November 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. Not Quite a Dozen: Read 9-11 books.
2. It Goes to Eleven: Read 6-8 books.
3. Eleventh Hour!: Read 3-5 books.

Categories:

1. Give Thanks!: In honor of Thanksgiving on November 27th, let's read a book that celebrates the concept of giving thanks in some way. It's up to you!
2. What's on the Menu?: Since we love to eat for Thanksgiving read a book that involves food. The lead character could be a cook, chef, baker, or just a foodie. Or maybe they are celebrating a food-related holiday or event.
3. Family by Choice: National Adoption Day is the Saturday before Thanksgiving, November 21st. For that day, let's read a book featuring a character who's adopted or a story involving adoption.
4. Men Make Dinner Day: Pass it on to the men in your life, it's all them on the first Thursday in November. For this challenge, read a book where the Man does the cooking!
5. Housewife Day: November 3rd celebrates the unsung heroes of the past and present, the "housewife" or "stay at home wife/mother". Read a book that has a lead female character who is a housewife. It can be historical or contemporary.
6.Sadie Hawkins' Day: Modern women often do the asking, but on November 13th, you're expected to do it. Read a book where the heroine does the chasing instead of the hero.
7.Forget-Me-Not: November 10th is Forget-Me-Not Day, a day to remember all our loved ones, especially when they live far away or have passed on. For this challenge, read a book where the lead characters/main couple are physically separated for part of the book.
8. A Bad Day!: For Have a Bad Day, please don't wish that on anyone, but feel free to read a book where the lead character has "A Bad Day."
9.Black Friday: The day after Thanksgiving is the biggest shopping day of the year. I don't encourage you to go shopping that day, but you can. Instead, it might be more fun to stay home and read a book. So we'll give you credit for whatever book you finish reading on Black Friday this year (November 28th).
10. Journeys: There are two holidays this month that celebrate traveling, Take a Hike Day and Go For a Ride Day. So let's read a book where the characters take a journey, or go on a trip or hike.
11. Cornucopia: The cornucopia or horn of plenty is the symbol for Thanksgiving. Reach in to your Book "Horn of Plenty" and read any book you want for this part of the challenge.
