November Monthly:
1. Naughty Neighbors Never Notice Neon Nighties. or Maybe just read a book to the 'N'th power. Naughty but Nice: Bare Essentials by Jill Shalvis (11/4)
2. So the name on the list says 'Pamelaflame' but the name once I click on it says 'AvidReader:)'. Did you change your name all at once or was there an intermediate step. Maybe PamelaReader or AvidFlame were stepping stones to a new identity. In any event, Ms. FlameReader has a birthday on the 9th of this month. And on her shelf I found Valley of Silence by Nora Roberts (11/2)
3. Geography: Read a book whose author, setting or character is from Nevada.
4. Thanksgiving Day: Read a book about family, God, immigrants, harvest/agriculture or set during that time of the year.
5. Guy Fawkes Night: Read a hot/steamy book, a book with fire on the cover, or a book where one of the major characters is a firefighter, a conspirator or a rebel.
6. World Television Day: Read a book where one of the major characters is an actor, producer, makeup artist, news editor or works in the Television industry.
7. Get ‘Er Done: Read a book you've been meaning to get to, i.e. a book that has been on your TBR for a long time, a series catch-up, a book you need to return to the library or friend, etc.
8. Cereal Romance:
Apple Jack: Oh Fruit Loop, I thought you were the one.
Fruit Loop: Darling I am. Why would you think differently?
Apple Jack: Did you think I wouldn't see the video? You and that German whore Meuslix! And don't you dare tell me what you were doing was good for your colon! While She Was Sleeping... by Isabel Sharpe (11/5)
9. Of Lists and Shelves: Read a book from the first 11 pages of the Book Club shelf.
10. "In ancient Rome there was a poem about a dog who found two bones. He picked at one. He licked the other. He went in circles. He dropped dead. Freedom of choice is what you've got. Freedom from choice is what you want." Devo - Freedom of Choice Undone by Karin Slaughter (11/9)
