I'm in! All the topics look super interesting and I'll comment again on the 1st when I choose the ones I want to do!
I'm in! will pick topics later! Still swamped with my clean my tbr challenge and the read-along
I'm in! I'll probably try to do most of the challenges.
I'm in! :D Can't wait for this new year!
Question: Will this challenge will continue throughout the whole of 2017, and we'll be moving through the list (in whichever order we like) of topics as the year goes on? Or is this just a small challenge that will provide a jumping off point for more challenges in the future?Sorry if that's a stupid question. This is the first book club I've ever been in. Thanks!
Not a stupid question at all, every book group is different. This challenge is just to kick off the new year! But we have similar challenges to this one throughout the year as well :) Every month we will have a new challenge!
Dana wrote: "Ally, what is your secret?! Are you magic?"Listen. The trick is to be a little too broke to buy too many books at once and to go out as rarely as possible so sneaky, random bookshops don't tempt you on the street. Also, a little magic always help
I'm in!Read a book that became a movie
The Cheetah Girls by Deborah Gregory (I'll probably only read the first book in the series for the month, though)
Read a book by a female author
Dark Mountains by Amanda Meredith
Read a book with a one word title
Hallowed by Bryant Delafose
I'm in!! I have so many books that fall into these categories
