Reading Adventures in April
(An Unofficial 1-month challenge)

“April weather, rain and sunshine both together.” – English Country Saying.

Duration: April 1-30, 2021

Long ago, I ran a GR group of my own, and it was my 'job' to create challenges for said group. While that community has (sadly) been defunct for some time, I still enjoy coming up with reading challenges now and then. It's a fun hobby, of sorts. I thought I would share an easy-peasy challenge that came to my mind recently and see if anyone would like to take part in it.

As April is the 4th month of the year, I am offering you 4 little challenges to try! If this is in any way a success, I'll try to come up with another little challenge for May.

The Tasks:

1. Read a book published in April of any year.

2. Read a book with a 4 in the total page count.

3. Read the 4th book in a series.

4. Read a book with a 4-word title. Example: Anne of Green Gables.

To join in the fun, please tell me how many of the prompts you plan to try. Be sure to update your post as you go along. I'd love to hear about what you're reading. Most importantly: Have fun and don't be stressed if you don't finish the challenge! Thank you for giving it a chance!

I will try to read this weekend as well :)

Hi, Sue! I am so glad we'll be buddy reading this. I look forward to the book and discussion.

I love classics. I can't wait to read & discuss this one. I saw one of the movie adaptations based on it years ago but I don't remember much about it.

I've read this book before - a couple of years ago, actually - but I need an impetus to finally read the rest in the series so I'm starting fresh with book 1 lol I remember liking it and being intrigued about the world-building the author did.

Yay!! Welcome aboard.

I would like to suggest book 1 in The Fallen series: The Fallen and Leviathan by Thomas E. Sniegoski for June although I am open to other months.

I'd also like to suggest The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan for May although I am open to other months.

Hmm, I am at a loss then lol

Here it is nearing the end of the month and I haven't even started this lol Oops. I will get right on it. And nope, I haven't seen the Netflix series yet but I've heard it's quite steamy. And the male lead is gorgeous!
