2013 November Reading Challenge

[Ann aka Iftcan]

Do we want to start our own challenge? If so--what do we want to read for this month?

[Dee]

If I knew what I wanted to read, I wouldn't need a challenge....lol. Maybe we could just use the one from last November?

[Netanella]

That's a great idea...how do we get it started?

[Belkis]

Okay, so here's last year's November reading challege. We can certainly redo this one since it's pretty good :) we can change the dates to reflect this year if we go forward with it. Will that be alright with the Mods and the group members??

Wow, LOL! Okay guess we're doing this :D

This one is called The Cover Hunt Challenge.

Duration: November 1, 2013 - November 30, 2013

Categories:

Read 3 books whose that has a single male on the cover.
Read 3 books whose that has a single female on the cover.
Read 2 books whose cover feature a couple.
Read 2 books where there is no person or human image at all.

Easy enough? Be sure to post the covers for proof.

To post covers, click on the upper right hand of the text box (add book/author), search for your book, at the bottom, select 'cover' instead of 'link, and then click 'add'.

Happy reading, everyone!

Thanks Pamela, I'm happy that it was okay that we did this. We totally understand about life interfering with Mod duties and we appreciate the dedication and effort you and Yz put into all of these challenges as well as the great job Dawn does keeping track of our monthly totals; so thank you.

Hey there,

I'm new to participating in this group, but I really am enjoying the interactions and these group challenges. I saw that December is traditionally the TBR-clean up month. Traditions are always good for this month, unless you wanted to consider only holiday-themed books or those set in the month of December. 3 Shifter books in December, 3 Vampire in December, etc...

Just a thought.

[Stacey]

I'm in! I'm hoping to beat last month's terrible total. I'll update as I go.
