DHASG April 2015 Challenge Levels:
Done at 9 books: It's Raining Books: Read 9-12 books.
Categories:
✔ 1. You're No April Fool!: We're all savvy book readers. Pick a guaranteed read out of your pile. In order to count for this part of the challenge, you need to rate it at least four stars.
Her Russian Protector 4 - Nikolai by Roxie Rivera - 04.09.2015 (★★★★)
✔ 2. Read a Road Map: Since Read a Road Map Week falls in this month, read a book that involves characters taking a road trip (they drive or use an automobile or other road vehicle for the journey--flying or sailing doesn't count).
Exquisite 3 - Edible by Ella Frank - 04.06.2015 (★★★★★)
✔ 3. Guitar Hero: Since April is International Guitar Month, read a book where a character plays the guitar, either professionally or as a hobby.
It's Been Awhile by Lexie Davis - 04.18.2015 (★★★)
✔ 4. Children's Book Day: For this international hobby on April 2nd, read a children's book (books suitable for ages 15 or under).
Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary - 04.15.2015 (★★★★)
✔ 5. Don't Go To Work Unless It's Fun!: April 3rd is a day that you really want to honor in ways that won't involve getting fired. How about you read a book where the lead character has a unique, fun, exciting, or interesting job? (Office sex with real people, as well as virtual reality models of the office assistant. The one who makes the really great coffee!
Wired 2 - Tristan's Temptation by Sabrina York - 04.01.2015 (★★★)
✔ 6. Tweed Day: What does this fabric bring to mind for you? Well, April 3rd celebrates this warm, thick, wool, sturdy fabric that originated in Scotland. I think of antiquated British professors. How about you? You decide how to celebrate tweed (so the cover looks very tweed-y to me)!
Wicked Earl, Wanton Widow by Bronwyn Scott - 04.29.2015 (★★★)
7. School Librarian Day: This wonderful crusaders and heroes definitely need a day to be celebrated, and April 4th is that day. Read a book with a prominent character (even secondary) who is a librarian, preferably at a school.
✔ 8. Lying is Bad!: April 4th is Tell a Lie Day, but I don't recommend lying. How about reading a book where a lie is a prominent aspect of the story line. If you can find a book with Lie in the title, that is awesome! You could even use a book where a character's name is "Leslie" or "Ashlie" (spelled this way).
In Hiding: A Survivors Journal of the Great Outbreak by Michael Elliott - 04.24.2015 (★★★)
✔ 9. Easter Sunday: Falling on April 5th this year, it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. You can use a book that somehow touches on the theme of resurrection and death being defeated.
Reign of Blood 1 - Reign of Blood by Alexia Purdy - 04.16.2015
✔ 10. All is Ours!: Yes, this is a holiday on April 8th. You can pick how you represent this day in your reading. Let us know what you decide in parentheses. I'm giving this one up in honor of the heroine of this book, Alexandria, who's one of the most self-entitled, self-centered characters I've read in a long time.
Dark 3 - Dark Gold by Christine Feehan - 04.14.2015 (★)
11. Take Time to Laugh: April 11th is International Moment of Laughter Day. Commemorate it by reading a book that makes you genuinely laugh as you read it.
12. Scrabble Day: On April 13th, we give a nod to this game invented in 1938 by Alfred Mosher Butts. Use a book that has a unique word in its title for this part of the challenge.
