Cheryl Olson (girlsmama) | 694 comments Ok all, forgive me for taking so long to post this list. I know it's helpful to have it ahead of time to help plan your reads. So here it finally is.

January- TBR Challenge- Choose your weapon

February- "Love Letter Challenge"- Look for books with words that you would find in a love letter in the title- IE- Dear, Love, Yours, Sincerely, Mister, etc

March- Laughter is the best medicine- Look for books that are light, funny, and make you laugh

April- Food Lovers Challenge- Food in the title, on the cover or non-fiction cookbooks, etc.

May- Folks in uniform challenge- featuring those characters who might wear a uniform- medical personnel, military, firefighters, police, etc.

June- "Love is in the air" Choose either- genre- romance, or a genre that you "love", or authors that you love .

July- Red, white and blue challenge- read books with covers that are red, white or blue, and bonus for books with all three!

August- Make your own list challenge- make out your list on August 1st and shoot to read all the books on your list

September- Learn something new challenge- look for books that teach you something new- could be history , self help- ( Bible books count!), etc.

October- Suspense challenge

November- Holiday books- any holiday included, not just Christmas

December- Tidings of Comfort and Joy.- this will be a chance for you to finish strong and choose to read the books that you didn't quite get to , but really are excited to finish off the year with- your choice.

A new thread will pop up in that folder each month for nominations (and later, voting polls in that same thread) for the BOTM.
