Monthly Motif Challenge 2014
I am very excited about taking part in the Monthly Motif Reading Challenge though I have no doubt it will be something of a tricky one. Still, I am definitely up for a challenge! To take part, click HERE
Here are the rules:
For this challenge, each month is assigned a certain motif or theme. Your task is to read one book per month that fits in with the motif for that particular month.
MONTHLY MOTIFS:
January – Around the World
Choose a book to read that takes place in a country different than the one you live in or choose a book written by an author that is from a country different than your own.
February – Award Winner
Read a book that has won recognition or a literary award. Here’s a list of literary awards to help you get started on your search: Literary Awards.
March – Fairy tales or Fairy Creatures
Read a fairy tale retelling or a book with fey/fairies in it.
April – Short & Sweet
Read a collection of short stories or anthologies.
May – Mystery, Murder, & Mayhem
Read a murder/mystery book, a book in which someone dies of mysterious causes, or a book in which a mystery must be solved.
