This topic has been frozen by the moderator. No new comments can be posted.
The rules are simple:
Each month, read a book that corresponds to the category.
A book only counts once - so you can't use the same title for two or more months.
There’s no page limit.
It can be a book that you’ve already read.
Novellas, graphic novels, and anthologies can count toward a category.
Ebooks and audiobooks count as books!
If you missed a month, you can go back and read a previous month’s task. But we don't encourage reading in advance.
If you have questions about whether the book you picked really counts for a particular month, you can ask the mods here in the group (in the topic for the month) or in the ONTD post for the month's reading challenge.
Keep us updated on how your reading challenge is going in our book posts and the topics here in the group!
Thank you to EVERYONE who helped us in coming up with this year’s tasks for the challenge!
January: Read a Book That is Being Adapted Into a Movie or TV Show in 2020
February: My Cousin Just Moved to Nigeria to Discover New Talent
Jay-Z’s cousin may be in Nigeria discovering new musical talent, but you don’t have to move to discover the country’s vibrant literary talents. This month, let’s read a book by a Nigerian author or set in Nigeria.
March: Everyone was Dad
Read a book about a dad, with a memorable or prominent dad character or where fatherhood is a major theme
April: Read a Book With a Scandalous Past
Read a book that caused scandal or major controversy when it was first released. We're talking widespread bans, major social outrage, governmental or religious condemnation, the author being prosecuted, arrested or exiled for its writing, etc.
The scandal can also be related to the author or the publication of the book itself, for example, the book being a hoax or the author being a scammer or other kind of criminal (e.g. James Frey's "A Million Little Pieces").
