I'm liking all these challenges. Count me in! I can't wait to fill in all these blanks. :)Books read so far 9 / 11
Levels:
1. 1st Place: Read 8-11 books.
2. 1st Class: Read 5-7 books.
3. 1st Crack: Read 3-4 books.
Categories:
1. New Beginnings: The Nix - this was a book that I would never normally have picked up and was glad that I did. I usually grab genre fiction, so a long tale of dysfunctional family dynamic is entirely new to me. But interesting and fun to read.
2. New Year's Resolution: Holding Up the Universe - this was a great book though fiction, that tackled topics such as weight loss and being true to yourself. All ideas that go well with New Year's Resolutions!
3. Winter is Here: January
4. I Have a Dream: Firefight - OK, so maybe this isn't a real person trying to make the world a better place, but I do love a fictional hero trying to save the world.
5. National Popcorn Day:
6. Peculiar People Day: Odd Thomas - I took this challenge quite literally. Wow, amazing book!
7. Wet!:
8. Trivia Day: The Step: One Woman's Journey to Finding Her Own Happiness and Success During the Apollo Space Program
9. Have a Cuppa..: It Ends with Us - because a rather life-changing conversation at the end of the book happens over a cup of tea.
10. You Like to Do What?: Shadow Of A Bull - I learned a lot about bullfighting here. Definitely an interesting way to pass the time...
11. Your Choice: The Pooh Party Bookfor Winnie-the-Pooh Day!
Covers:
Danielle The Book Huntress (Back to the Books) wrote: "Wow, how convenient was it that you read Flare this month, Netanella. Not just one tea drinker but two. Cool!"Right! And I don't really believe in coincidences, either! Great challenge...
