Monthly Challenge: February 2023

Welcome to our first monthly Listopia Madness challenge. It is a relatively simple challenge. Every month you will get 3 listopia lists from me and 3 from the winners of the previous month. *Please note that if you do not respond in a reasonable amount of time that the 4th place person (and so on) will replace you until we get 3 lists.

How it works
📘You will read as many books as you want from as many of the lists provided as you want.
📘You will score each book using the point system provided below
📘You will keep a running tally of your total in your post (try to keep your books in one comment, if possible for easy tracking)
📘I will contact the 3 highest-scoring readers at the end of the month and they will each choose one listopia list to be included in the next month's challenge.

Challenge rules:
📘No graphic novels, poetry or cookbooks allowed.
📘Standard Rules Apply

Second assassin book this week that isn't on the list. I mean really, that's just rude! lol.

I do recommend , for some lighthearted assassin fun ;)

Obviously you’re just reading the wrong assassin books. LOL

story of my life, lol.

I am just not doing so good. None of my reading this month is lining up!

I'm trying to prioritise what books I have on the lists over others, but I'm still reading 2 non-list ones for every list one this month. Stoopid non-list assassin books! lol.

Once the 2 team challenges I'm doing end, I think I'll be able to focus more lol

I'm pretty sure that once my current team challenge ends, another will start. no rest for the wicked! :D :D

No assassins this time, but was a lot of fun (and also incredibly ick at times, lol), and it's a list book. I suspect there will be several Bryson books on that list.

Interesting!

I have... yet again... failed miserably at this challenge. I plan to work harder next month. I know I say this every month, but I just feel it in my bones that I will try harder. TRY being the key word.

Time to update your points again!

I think I'm done for this month. Not my best month unfortunately, but it could be worse :)

Nobody else updated their posts. I will come up with the 3rd list.
