Oct/Nov/Dec 2014 Quarterly Challenge

[Sarbi]

The Chilling Experience of Reading
Duration: October 1st,2014- December 31st,2014

Hello everybody! For this challenge we`ll go into the experience of reading a book that might just give you goosebumps from it`s content or make you shiver in delight in the cold seasons to come. There will be a few different lists to choose your book options from.

Must read!
Challenge Rules:

→ When you sign up for the challenge, please post some kind of a place saver so that I can link you up under the participants. You will be updating this first post as you finish your books.

→ For each book you read, please update your original post and somehow indicate which book you read, and the date you finished reading it.

→ Books can not be repeated or united with different lists, but feel free to use the same titles in other challenges!

→ If you notice you can`t quite keep up feel free to let me know you'd like to downgrade, or even back out of the challenge. However, please do not delete your posts. It will mess up the links to other participants postings if you do.

→ Books must be started on or after October 1st, 2014. Books started before this date will not be counted for this challenge.

List 1: A challenge is incomplete without fun words to choose from, so here I`ll put up a list of words that will have to be in the title of a book you read. It can also be a derivation of the word.
Example: Cold, coldest, coldness etc.

List 2: Moving on we`ve got the colors that catch our eye in the seasons and bookstore. Find a book thats cover is mostly these colors.

Orange
Blue
Purple
Black
Yellow
Green
Red

List 3: Many have started school and those of you who don`t anymore must remember those reading lists. On a fun note poking at those times choose a book that is completely opposite to those classics the teacher made you read.
Example:
War-Peace
Betrayal-Solidarity
Hate-Love
Etc.
Better yet why not get into those guilty pleasures your teachers or people said weren`t worthy but you just want to read.

This is open to many option because it`s subjective so have fun picking. We must never forget that we learn by reading but that we also read to escape and have fun, to imagine everything and anything.

Bonus time! Adding a little to your fun I`ve decided this will be a bonus, you can or cannot choose to do this. A fan of Halloween I thought when you dress up you do it of someone else so our bonus is this. Find a book where your name appears in it, it can be the protagonist, side characters, title etc. basically if it`s on the book it`s game. This is optional because I know it`s sometimes hard to find ones name so last names are included too.

Levels:

451 degrees Fahrenheit: To get warmed up this level is for the pleasing amount of 7 books
70 degrees Fahrenheit Stepping into cooler área we`ve got the amount of 11 because why not go a step further.
32 degrees Fahrenheit And for those feeling adventurous and want to literally be frozen in place with their books there is the amount of 21 books.

So that`s it for this challenge remember to edit you comments and update your progress and most importantly have fun!

List 3:

BONUS! So, the first book I picked to read, SEDUCTION OF NIGHT by Erin Simone is a new release in the Twilight line from Ellora's Cave turns out to have a character in it with my name. OK, it's a male character (not the hero) but I'm used to that. And he's arguably one of the more sympathetic characters. Hopefully, Jay will find his own blooded mate in a future book!

The only anthology on my lists, DARK DREAMS by Kristie K. Shafer and Kristin Middleton was my reading choice for Halloween travel.
