Booknblues | 12523 comments Have you ever found yourself stumbling across something in your reading repeatedly? Maybe every book you pick up has a rabbit in it and you become interested in rabbits and seek out books with them so you can find out more. You have gone down a rabbit hole in your reading.

We have developed the Down the Rabbit Hole challenge to encourage this type of exploration and hopefully some interesting and enlightening conversations.

- We will need your help in generating ideas for rabbit hole investigations.
- We will randomize your ideas and present 5 Rabbit Holes a month for you to go down.

Here is an example of 1 month’s choices


Rabbit Holes of the month
Horses
City life
Building/architecture/engineering
AI
WWI/The Great War


-We will present 5 Rabbit Holes each month.
-Participants are not required to participate each month and may begin at any time.
-Participants may read from any or all of the Rabbit Holes.
-The book will be considered for a Rabbit Hole if it fits the 5 tag rule, if a major portion of the book concerns the subject verified by book blurb/description or a quote from the book to show the subject matter and possibly book title. What we want to avoid is just an incidental mention, for example if a character sees some horses in a field, this would not be counted as going down that Rabbit Hole.
-Each book read earns a game point
-An extra game point for matching PBTag of the month.
-5 extra points for reading 5 books in a Rabbit Hole or reading 1 book for 5 Rabbit Holes.
-Please track your points throughout the challenge.
-Once a quarter participants may ask for an alternate Rabbit Hole to the ones which are presented and they will receive a randomized result.
-We will have a raffle at year's end which will be weighted by points earned.

For those members who find a Rabbit Hole which they like once a quarter they may designate one rabbit hole as their "warren". They can stay in their warren as long as they want, and books they read in their warren gets them a raffle entry.

This might be the first time I fully participate in a PBT challenge. This one sounds so up my alley.

Joanne (joabroda1) | 12898 comments The list looks like fun. Looks like a great time!

Booknblues | 12523 comments The list was developed by PBT members and I think that is great.

Theresa | 16137 comments That's really a wonderful list! Some of the suggestions are so creative and interesting, I wish I'd thought of them.

And I LOVE that there is 'rabbits' as an option *guffaw*. Of course as Fran knows, I've already fallen down a rabbit hole about rabbit holes, and I'm already figuring out my bunny name and what I'm naming my primary burrow at the bottom of the rabbit hole -- where plotting and strategizing will happen. From it I will be digging tunnels to create a warren with a separate burrow to hold the books and research i fall down.

In fact, I think everyone in the challenge needs to come up with a bunny name.
