Theme Reading Challenge Suggestions
I think this is a fantastic idea. Some sample themes:
-Vampires
-Witchcraft
-Otherworldly(Angels, Demons)
-Romance between a younger and older couple
- Lgbt
-Dystopian/Apocalyptic
Example books:
-House of Night(Vampire)
-Sweep Series (Witchcraft)
-City of Bones (Otherworldly)
-Jane Eyre (Older man/ Younger woman)
-Almost Perfect (LGBT)
-Divergent (Dystopian)
Nice one, Kassie. That's a great idea. Thanks! I think I am going to use it and post another challenge soon. :)
If I am trying for more than one challenge, can my books overlap?Can my green cover for Fairytale challenge count towards a color challenge?
Ok guys so here another theme challenge to be posted by the end of the month to celebrate Halloween:Creepy Spooky Challenge (duration is to be decided)
Read one book for each item
Vampires
Werewolves
Mermaids
Faeries
Aliens
Zombies
Spirits/Ghosts
Shape-shifter
Witches/Wizards
Angels/Demons
Let me know what you think :)
Can I read Vampire Academy ? I planed to read this book series on October!! Everyone seems to love this book series and Adrian. lol
Why not? :) What do you think of the challenge above? I plan to use it next month as a theme reading challenge. Duration is one month. Tell me what you think! :)
It's Great challenge!! Gisbelle :) This is perfect for Halloween month. Can't wait!! It sounds FUN ^^/ What abt Grim reaper, Necromancer, Skin-Walker, and Dream catcher ? I planed to read Darkness Rising by Kelley Armstrong on Oct, too. It is about Skin-Walker.
And Have U ever read
? It's abt Dream Catcher and it's Thriller Paranormal Books.
I heard, but haven't read them yet, sadly :(Thanks for commenting on that. I'll revise it one more time and I'll post the challenge around 25
if it's witches/wizards, is it ok to read harry potter? hehehe
why not? That's probably the best witches and wizards book ever. Just it is not that creepy :)

The Wake Trilogy by Lisa McMann is so good

Sounds great! It will definitely be a challenge ;)
Yeah... it was based on your idea :D
Gisbelle wrote: "why not? That's probably the best witches and wizards book ever. Just it is not that creepy :)"agree. i think i'll read some of stephen king's work. although i cannot comprehend it well.
I never read any S.K book. I got an audiobook for The Shining, though. Prepare it for Halloween :D
hehehe. i think dean kootz has this horror kind of book.am i right??
Gisbelle, you haven't read SK? READ IT!!! He is fantastic. And thanks, what can I say? lol

Next month he'll be my date :)

i read a part of the gunslinger by SK. but the problem is that his narration is quite confusing.
I think this sounds fun too! I've never read a Stephen King book either, but I'd read one in October if you do, Gisbelle.

I have a few other SK's books also (I bought when there were a book sales, but never had a chance to read them yet). But the Shinning is supposed to be very scary :D
Kassi wrote: "My favorite is 
or

Absolutely...The Shining right before Halloween. LOL Do you celebrate Halloween or a version of it where you are?
Yes. There are some parties also. But I always stay home and read horror books or watch horror movies :)
I don't know really where to put this idea. Should I save it as a Weekly reading challenge idea??
Anyway,I thought it might be fun to have a requirement where We ask everyone to:
read a book either where the setting/location is the same as your state/province/territory/etc. that you live in
or
the author is either from or currently resides in your state/province/territory/etc..
I thought it might be a fun way to learn who each of our local authors are or read a book where the setting is one we'll personally know.
not a bad idea, Trisha. This one is related more to geography. But it might be hard to fine books to read :)
I love the idea!
Yes I think so. But it's too small a challenge to create a theme challenge for it since we need to read only one book. I think we can use the idea for weekly challenge :)
Yeah! Does Trisha have her weekly reading challenge coming up?
Jacquelyn wrote: "Yeah! Does Trisha have her weekly reading challenge coming up?"looks like I'll need to sign up for a 2nd one ;)
I love that you be the host of another week. :)
If you guys think there are too many challenges, I recommend you not start so many at once. They are theme reading challenges, so you can start anytime. I have posted a lot of challenges lately because I don't want to forget them :) I am very forgetful, you know :D
Hope you enjoy these challenges <3
Seasons. Like 4 books per season based on events, weather that happens during that season or sayings about that certain season.For example (will give one example per season, I can give more but it might be cluttered):
Winter: Read a book that is set in the winter, or at at place with snow (like the mountains).
Spring: Read a book about blossoming love
Summer: Read a book about a tropical island
Fall: Read a book with an orange, red or yellow cover.
I don't think it's possible to have TOO many challenges!!!! LOL!! ;)LOVE all the new Challenges! Keep getting your ideas down, they are great, Gisbelle!!!
I like your idea, Mehsi! And yes I hope all of you like the new challenges!

Actually, I have prepared for that already XD Thanks anyway. I was going to post it after Halloween.

Phew... I was afraid they were too overwhelming :)
I thought they were getting a little overwhelming as well! But I guess not! At least for Trisha!
if you don't start everything at once, I think it's still ok. :)I only start 2 so far, Ransom Note and Fairytale.
LOL!!! Not overwhelming at all!! I'm enjoying every one of them! And digging for books and seeing everyone else's books. I love challenges! They are so fun!
No more challenges until next year :D And I know how much you love challenges, Trisha :)
