If you like the Read-the-Month challenge, but is having problems with the multiple-lettered months? If you like to take your time, and prefer a slower pace?

Read-the-Season Challenge follows the same format as our popular Read-the-Month Challenge, except that you have a whole season to finish your books

To make it more interesting, we will be using different languages each year for our Read-the-Season and Read-the-Month challenges. For 2012, we will be using Irish.

Here is the timeline:

GEIMHREADH (Winter) - December 22, 2011 - March 19, 2012
EARRACH (Spring) - March 20, 2012 - June 19, 2012
SAMHRADH (Summer) - June 20, 2012 - September 21, 2012
FOMHAR (Autumn) - September 22, 2012 - December 20, 2012

READ-THE-SEASON Autumn CHALLENGE: F-O-M-H-A-R
Duration:September 22, 2012 - December 30, 2012

Rules are simple. Using the word FOMHAR, pick a book title or author (first or last name) that begins with the letters in the chosen season.

Have a great Autumn Season of Reading

Thank you for this...I try and try the reading challenges, but then I get distracted by something else that I absolutely have to read at right that minute and I'm off to the races, so to speak. After that, it takes a while for me to go back to the book I'm supposed to be reading. Distraction, thy name is, seriously, ADD.

Having a place to log your challenges helps tremendously, Stephanie. You should make a thread for your reading if you haven't! I've been in a huge book slump lately, and my numbers are showing it.

Danielle's UF Challenge # 11: October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012

All formats are accepted (print, ebooks, audiobooks). Rereads are fine as long as you actually reread the entire book and not just skim it.

Feel free to change your list at any time as needed.

Please note that the Optional Book categories are just that. Optional. You may choose to do none of them or all of them depending on how big of a challenge you want.

Update:
Completed:


Basic Categories
1. Any Urban Fantasy Title:
2. An Urban Fantasy Title with a single character on the cover: Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride 10/21
3. Any Fantasy OR Paranormal Romance Title (not strictly UF) : The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson 10/26
4. Any book that was released in 2012.: 10.21 by Dustin Thomason 10/14


This time, I’ve tried to keep the optional categories relatively simple.

Optional Categories: ~ any genre:
5. Cover Hunt: Using October’s, November’s, and December’s birthstones as a guide (opal or pink tourmaline, topaz, and tanzanite or turquoise) , read a book with a predominately white, pink, yellow, or blue cover, or any combination of the four colors.: Highlander's Bride by Deborah Gafford (pink) 10/6
6. October 24 is United Nations Day: Read a book set in a country other than the one in which you live (fictional worlds count, too!)
7. November 21 is World Hello Day: Say hello to a new author or a new series: Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake 10/12
December 21 is the Solstice: Depending on your hemisphere this is either the shortest or longest day of the year. So for this one, you get to read two books:
8.a. Read a book with 200 or fewer pages
9. b. Read a book with 400 or more pages: The Wolf's Hour by Robert R. McCammon 10/24
10. Out With the Old: Read that book you’ve been putting off all year –OR- the book that will finally make you current in a favorite series (in other words: the most recent release in an ongoing series, or the final book in a series that has ended)


You may join the challenge up to the final day of December. If you get a late start it’s fine to back date with any books you started on October 1 or later.

Option C: The Most Dangerous Ones of All
For this challenge, all ten of your book choices must rate a 1 out of 10 (most dangerous hero of all) on the Dangerous Hero Scale. A number one has these qualities:
Completely lethal, seemingly remorseless, has no problem killing to get the job done, or killing as the job. Killing someone doesn't phase him. It's either him or them and don't let someone be after someone he loves. More or less amoral-except when it comes to things that have true value to him (like his heroine or his family). The mission is all that matters to him (at least until he falls for his heroine).

Option D: Dangerous Hero World-Tour
This is a hold-over from last years’ challenge. Compile a list of fifty heroes from fifty different books that take place in fifty different locations. You may use a country more than once. You may not use a United State more than once. For example: You can use two locations in France, but you cannot use Paris or New York state (one city per state and one state per book, so if you use a book set in New York City, it means that you cannot use New York again) more than once. You can use fictional/mythical/otherworldly locations. Please note if the location is mythical in your listing.
