Ooo. That looks interesting.

How is the In Death series?

Heheh! I felt the need for some silly.

Summer By the Shore deadline is August 31.

Last call to "bring the heat!"

Mission: Read a book where a pet is a major player in the story. It doesn't have to be a dog or a cat; if you've got a Finbulous Fish story, go for it.

Deadline: September 30.

Back To School Challenge Word Bank:

Teacher, principal, professor, custodian, counselor, assistant, secretary, superintendent, headmaster, headmistress, coach,
bus, cafeteria, office, pencil, pen, crayon, marker, eraser, compass, protractor, ruler, calculator, computer, gym suit, uniform, notebook, book, paper, folder, map, back pack, locker, hall, bell, chalk, journal, letters, numbers,
auditorium, classroom, lecture, lunchroom, gymnasium, school, college, university, academy,
reading, writing, listening, thinking, editing, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, plus any conjugation/tense of school-related verbs

This one is only good until the end of September.

Mission: Find and read one book with a word or words in the title that are somehow associated with the academic experience. For example:

Pencil- Carpenter's Pencil
Map- A Map of the World
Apple- Bad Apple
Notebook- The Notebook
Bus- Lilac Bus
Blackboard- The Blackboard Jungle
Principal- The Principal's Office
Teacher- Teacher Man
Division- A House Divided
Writing: The Freedom Writers Diary

No Children's Literature, please. Although, YA is welcome. As is Non-Fiction. I'm going to create a spot just under this for words related to academia as I think of them, but feel free to come up with your own. Finding the books is part of the fun! :D

Congrats, Veronique!

There's still plenty of time to get in a little KidLit!

Good on you, Sonia!

I need to get back to this one. I had such grand plans to read around my house. Drat that Public Library and its free books!

Great going, Stella!

Btw, I'm still diligently working on this one. I happen to find it one of the more challenging of the mini-challenges. It turns there are certain decades I read in more than others, and some decades I never seem to touch. :P

Absolutely! All challenges that run from Jan-Dec can be back-filled with books you've read in 2016. :D

This one has been quite popular in previous years. It's just so darn challenging. :)
It was born from the responses to Question 32.

Mission: Beginning September 1, keep track of titles that are missing a key vowel. For example:

No As- The Idiot
No Es- Fangirl
No Is- Bleak House
No Os- Pride and Prejudice
No Us- Moby-Dick; or, The Whale
No Ys- Welcome to Temptation

Challenge runs until December 31. Good Luck!

We don't have Hoopla yet, but I use Overdrive all the time. It's very easy.

Woot woot! Good for you, Amanda!
