April 2021 By The Numbers Monthly Challenge

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

This challenge is a celebration of the number of the month. There will be no levels and no page requirements, and the idea is to mix and match among the prompts for as many as your books will fit. However, a book may only be used for one prompt at a time, not multiple prompts! Duration will be from April 1st to April 30th, 2021.

Your challenge is to read as many books as you can that correspond to these listed prompts. Your sign up post is the post you should keep updated. DO NOT copy your sign up post to announce you are finished with the challenge! Books listed should also have completion dates to count as participating in the challenge! Here are the prompts:

Fourth book in a series
Author's Fourth Book
Fourth Book on your TBR pile
A book published in April 2021
A book published in 2004
The fourth book you purchase in this month
Read a book for the fourth time

Congrats on finishing, Frankie! However, it is clearly stated in the second paragraph of the how tos and instructions: "DO NOT copy your sign up post to announce you are finished with the challenge!", so your second post in what was Message 12 has been deleted. A simple post like "Finished in Message 7!" is perfectly acceptable, and still allows participants to congratulate you. I appreciate your assistance in keeping the thread easy to navigate for the mod team!

DONE on post #4
