October Reading Challenge

[Sheri, Bookworm]

For October, I'm doubling the challenge…

First, read books that spell out O-C-T-O-B-E-R
You can use book titles, author name, or character name.

Too easy, right?

So, each book should contain a characteristic that is associated with Halloween.

Example:

O:
The Halloween association would be vampires

C:
The Halloween association would be horror (genre)

Challenge Levels:
1. Easy – read 3-5 books
2. Medium – read 6-8 books
3. Hard – read 9+ books

You can post your books now or post as you go, but don't start reading until October 1! Say what challenge level you are aiming for in your post.

Remember, this is just for fun so if you don't make your goal, that's ok!
Happy reading!

Completed:

O: Obsidian The Halloween association would be aliens

B: Bewitching The Halloween association would be witches

E: Erin Bates from the House of Night series Hidden The Halloween association would be vampires

As you guys probably know, I only got to read 3 out of the 7 books I picked. I'll try harder for the November book challenge to say that I completed one at least once in my lifetime. LOL
