2 - Read a "short" book (under 250 pages)
3 - Pick 5 of your favorite genres and enter them in a randomizer. Read a book in that genre My entries were: Short stories, classics, contemporary fiction, historical fiction and mystery/crime. --- I drew "short stories".
So I started reading The Penguin Book of English Short Stories.
4 - Read a "spooky" book (your own definition of spooky is fine) I finished The Haunting of Hill House last night. Definitely a spooky book!
5 - Read a book that is 75% one color on the cover.
6 - Read a book that was published in the last 18 months.
7 - Read a book that was published more than 100 years ago.
8 - Read a book set in the Fall or with a cover that looks like it is Fall (leaves changing, etc).
9 - Read a book set in the Spring or with a cover that looks like it is Spring (trees blooming, etc).
10 - Read at least 75% of a book when it's dark outside.
11 - Read at least 75% of a book outside (please social distance... a park or back patio will do fine).
12 - Read a book with an animal (real or made up) on the cover.
13 - Read a book with a main character or author whose first name starts with the same letter as your first name.
14 - Take five books you really want to read and put them in a randomizer and read whichever one is chosen.
15 - Read a book that is set in a location you wish you could visit or live in. This location can be real or imaginary.
Finished my first book! (#4), yay! I'm currently in the middle of a few others and hope to finish those before next weekend. Time flies by so quickly....!
Okay. I'm ending this pre-readathon challenge with two finished books and one half-read one.At least I tried, right? LOL.

It's very unlikely that I'll be able to read 15 books before October 24th, but these challenges look like lots of fun, so I'm going to try this all the same. :-)
