February Love of My Life Challenge

[Sheri, Bookworm]

It's February – the month of love and romance, and we are going to be so very cliché.




Here is the challenge for this month – Remember, each book needs to have a romance element, though the romance does not have to be the main story element:

1. February is American Heart Month. Read a book where a character gets his or her heart broken (does not have to be a main character).
2. February is Parent Leadership Month. Read a book with a family, including parents and children.
3. February's birthstone is Amethyst. Read a book with a mainly purple cover OR read a book where someone is given jewelry.
4. February 1 is National Wear Read Day. Read a book with a mainly red cover OR read a book where a character is a redhead.
5. February's astrological signs are Aquarius (Water Bearer) and Pisces (Fish). Read a book that takes place at or near water (river, beach, lake, etc.) OR read a book about mermaids or sea creatures.
6. February is Affair to Remember Month. Read a book in which one of the characters has an affair, contemplates an affair, or is accused of having an affair (cheating).
7. February is Creative Romance Month. Read a romance book outside of your usual genre. Some examples are historical romance, contemporary romance, romantic suspense, paranormal romance, etc.
8. February is National Weddings Month. Read a book in which there is a wedding or wedding proposal.
9. The third week of February is International Flirting Week. Read a book in which the characters flirt around, but never actually get together.
10. February 11 is Make a Friend Day. Read a book where a friendship leads to more.

Challenge Levels:
1-4 books – Let's be friends
5-8 books – Infatuation
9-12 books – Serious commitment
13+ books – It's Amore

Read a book from each numbered item on the list, or mix or match – your choice which items you do.

You can pick and post your books now or post as you go, but do not start reading until February 1! Don't forget to tell what level you are aiming for!

Happy reading!
