I'm in. This sounds awesome!
DHASG November 2016 Reading ChallengeLevel: Eleventh Hour (3-6 books).
✓2.Peanut Butter Lover's Month - Peanut Butter is most a brownish color, so I am going to read a book with similar color on the cover. Claimed by Rebecca Zanetti. {Dark Protectors #2}. COMPLETED 30/11/2016. ★★★★.
✓3.Once Upon A Dream - Book features a Dreamy Hero. Fated by Rebecca Zanetti. {Dark Protectors #1}. ★★★★★. READ FROM 14/11/2016 - 20/11/2016.
REVIEW: I loved this first book. Reminded me a bit of BDB as far as the possessive, loving, brave alpha male warrior vampires. I am excited for book 2 (Claimed) as it is about Dage Kayrs (The King of the Realm) and Emma Paulsen (Cara's sister).
4.Chemistry Week - I will use the element Titanium and read a book that starts with the letter "T". Tempted by Rebeccca Zanetti. {Dark Protectors #2.5}.
5.Real Jewelry Month - Read a book that has a gemstone color on the cover. I chose Jade. Hunted by Rebecca Zanetti. {Dark Protectors #3}.
6.Marooned Without a Compass - Shadowed by Rebecca Zanetti. {Dark Protectors #6}.
8.Chaos Never Dies Day - Twisted by Rebecca Zanetti. {Dark Protectors #5.5}.
9.Forget-Me-Not Day - Book features siblings trying to find their Brother. Provoked by Rebecca Zanetti. {Dark Protectors #5}.
10.Sadie Hawkins Day - Consumed by Rebecca Zanetti. {Dark Protectors #4}.
11.America Recycles Day - Book I have read before. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. .
✓12.Cornucopia - Thursday, November 3rd is "National Sandwich Day" so I am going to read a book with a white cover to represent white bread. Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris. ★★★★★. Read from 4/11/2016 - 6/11/2016.
REVIEW: I couldn't put this book down. Racy, unsettling, and can't stop reading to find out what happened next. Psychological suspense and thriller. The author lay the groundwork for the story from page one and just kept it coming. Makes you want to ask how well do we really know someone? What really happens behind closed doors? I would definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys a good thriller and psychological suspense.

DHASG November Challenge
Introduction: November is here! Holiday season is around the corner and fall is truly here, for most of us! It's going to be busy for all of us, but let's hope we do get some time to read good books this month!
Rules:
1. Any DHASG member can participate in the challenge.
2. Books must be read between November 1st and November 30th.
3. A book may only be used once for this challenge.
4. Post or link to your final stats when you are completed.
5. In your stats, list book name, author and date read. Unless obvious, include why you choose a certain book in parentheses in your stats.
Levels:
1. Eleven--Almost a Dozen: Read 9-12 books.
2. Seven-Eleven : Read 7-11 books.
3. Eleventh Hour: Read 3-6 books.
Categories:
1. Native American Heritage Month: November is Native American Heritage Month. Let's honor Native American culture and tradition by reading a book that highlights this culture or with a prominent character who is of Native American heritage.
2.Peanut Butter Lovers Month: Yay to peanut butter! Let's celebrate this awesome food by reading a book that highlights some of the facts about peanut butter found here: http://nationalpeanutboard.org/peanut..., or something else that you can connect to peanut butter.
3.Once Upon a Dream: For National Sleep Comfort Month, let's read a book that touches on one aspect of sleep, dreaming. You could read a book that features a dream theme or with a dreamy hero or heroine. Or even a character whose dreams come true. Tell us why you chose that book.
4.Chemistry Week: The first week of November is Chemistry Week. Chemistry is the subject dealing with the identification of substances of which matter is composed. We also think of chemistry as the tension and the attraction between people. Read a book where leads have good chemistry, or in which they study or demonstrate the science of chemistry in some way. You could even use the chemical formula of elements to represent the books. For example, gold is Au. You could use a book with "August" in the title. I look forward to seeing how creative you can be. Here is a list of elements, if you're interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...
5.Real Jewelry Month: November is Real Jewelry Month. Who knew? Read a book that represents precious stones or minerals. You could use a book that has one in the title, or a character who is named after a precious stone or mineral. List of jewels and minerals: http://www.minerals.net/gemstonevarie...
6.Marooned Without a Compass Day: November 6th is this holiday, which addresses that feeling of being lost without direction, both literally or metaphorically. Read a book in which a lead character is in that predicament.
7.Younger Readers Day:The second Tuesday in November celebrates young readers. Read a book that is targeted to younger readers: either children, middle grade or young adult.
8.Chaos Never Dies Day: November 9th is a day that addresses the concept of chaos (complete disorder and confusion), which is ever present or lurking. Read a book in which the lead characters have to deal with chaos in their lives.
9.Forget-Me-Not Day:November 10th is used to get in touch with loved ones. Read a book where the lead character does exactly that.
10.Sadie Hawkins Day: On November 13th, we celebrate women taking the initiative in the relationship, with its origin from Al Capp's "Lil' Abner" cartoon. Read a book where the heroine pursues the hero and/or makes the 1st move.
11.America Recycles Day: November 15th is the day that brings awareness to recycling. How about you recycle a book in your tbr pile? Choose a book you have read before and do a reread. Another option is to read a 'pass it on' book, a book that was given to you by another reader.
12.Cornucopia: Pick one of the holidays from November to read for this part of the challenge--USMC Day, World Kindness Day, Cook Something Bold Day, Guy Fawkes Day, Look for Circles Day, National Fast Food Day.
Bonus: Give Thanks!: Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday of the month of November. It's the day that Americans traditionally give thanks. Read a book that spotlights 'giving thanks' in a way that impacts you.
