IT'S A PERKS CHRISTMAS READ-A-THON
As a group let's see what we can read in the month of December and have a Read-A-Thon with a twist!
How this works...
* Each book needs to "connect" to Christmas. We have provided a list of words (in the next post) for you to chose from
* For each unique word you connect to through the month, give yourself 10 points.
* If you can’t connect it to one of our words, but have a different way to connect to Christmas, that’s ok, just give yourself 5 points.
* If you connect to a word you have already connected to, give yourself 5 points
* You can give yourself points for a maximum of five words per book
* As soon as you have a book that you have read in December 2015 that can connect to a Christmas word, post it with the reasons it "connects" and the running points tally for you, and for the group for the month, and let's see how many books we can read and connect in the month!
* The person with the most points at the end of the month will be crowned our December Connector! (no prizes, but lots of congratulations ;)

* The Alphabet letter can be based on by genre, author, title, character names, narrator etc.
* As soon as you have a book that you have read in August 2015 that can connect to the last one, post it with the reasons it follows the alphabet and the running tally for you, and for the group for the month, and let's see how many books we can read and connect in the month!
