April DHASG Challenge

Introduction: April is here! It's officially Spring, and with Spring comes warmer days, rain and pretty green buds on the trees, green grass, and fresh flower blooms. Let's see what books bloom in our to be read piles this month!



Rules:

1. Any DHASG member may participate. You can join at any time during the month.
2. Books must be read between March 1st and March 31st.
3. A book may only be used once in the challenge.
4. Post Your Final Stats or Link to Your Completed Post.
5. Happy Reading!

Levels:

1. It's Raining Books: Read 9-12 books.
2. Books are Blooming: Read 5-8 books.
3. Book Bouquet: Read 3-4 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.

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).

3. Guitar Hero: Since April is International Guitar Month, read a book where a character plays the guitar, either professionally or as a hobby.

4. Children's Book Day: For this international hobby on April 2nd, read a children's book (books suitable for ages 15 or under).

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?

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 (and let us know in parentheses)!

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).

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.

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.

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.

I love the BDB series!

Nancy wrote: "Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. It has everything you want in a good book; exemplary world building with great story telling and rich, well developed characters. Even the secondary characters..."

Great series. Anything by Ilona Andrews, really.

Shannon wrote: "If the paranormal genre comes up, I recommend Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters"

One of my old favorites. I've have unfortunately gotten very behind in that series. :(

Shirley wrote: "Sherrilyn kenyon dark hunter, kim harrison the hollows series, Christine feehan drake sisters series and ghostwalker series, roxie rivera russian protector, and great lol series r.l Mathewson neigh..."

Oh man, I love Christine Feehan, esp the GhostWalkers and Prakenskiis. :)

Kate wrote: "I usually recommend Anne Stuart's Ice Series and David Baldacci's Camel Club and Will Robie Series."

I love Will Robie. I definitely recommend it to folks. You like Camel Club a lot too? I'll have to look into it.

I am a huge (the hugest) Anne Stuart fan on earth! :)

Be wrote: "I would like to add That I'm currently reading " A Heart So Wild" Love Chandos !"

I love Chandos! Still one of my favorites of all time.

Pamela(AllHoney) wrote: "Anyone read Arnette Lamb? It's been a while since I read her but I remember liking her books. I need to get her books again and reread them."

I have read her. Good stuff!

I see your point, Goge. I think Dean is set up to be the conflicted brother who seems like the bad brother but is in some ways the more self-sacrificing one. I love that Dean is all in. He'd do anything and has done anything for Sam.

Hi Jais. If you want to promote your list, you should say what kind of list it is. Since this is theme -related, I'll put this in the theme folder. I moved it to that folder. Thanks. I also modified the title so people would know what you are aiming at.

Which books do you always recommend to others, even if the recommendation is unsolicited? Let us know.

Hi, Rachel Anne. I am also a fan of this show. I do have to admit I am a few seasons behind. I love Dean and Sam. Their relationship as brothers is the heart of the show. I also really like Castiel.

I just finished Prison of Hope. This is an awesome UF series with plenty of action. The lead, Nate is definitely a dangerous hero! I recommend this series if you like your UF with lots of buttkicking.

I've read the first book in that series. I liked it. I just haven't gotten around to reading other books. I am so behind on all these good series!

Outlander is very good. I love the chasting choices. Sam Heughan is perfect for Jamie. That show will definitely have you loving Highlanders!

What made you change your mind about Celyn, Kryptonite?

I'll have to add that to my buy list, Lauren.

Oh my. Definitely need to check that out, Pamela1
