November's Challenge is a hybrid version of the popular A-Z challenge format. This month's challenge is called Characters Alphabet Parade Challenge.

DURATION: November 1 - November 30

I have divided the alphabet into 9 groups and your goal is to match characters from your chosen books whose first or last names start with one of the given letters.

1. A/B
2. C/D/E
3. F/G/H
4. I/J/K
5. L/M/N
6. O/P/Q
7. R/S/T
8. U/V/W
9. X/Y/Z


Example:

1. A/B = Anita Blake - Skin Trade by Laurell K. Hamilton
2. C/D/E/ = Cadeon Woede - Dark Desires After Dusk by Kresley Cole
3. F/G/H = Hauptmann, Adam - Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs

and so on....

Again you may post your list anytime you want, but no reading until the first of November.

REMINDERS:

- Please repost your updated list every time you have a change (especially when you have finished a book). Do not go back and edit your list, because Mel only looks at posts from updates to updates. This will make her task easier, so please help out.

- To signify your official participation, please post the category list, even if its not completely filled out. You are more than free to changes or fill them out as you go along.

- Put a date or strike out a book title when completed on your official list. Posts saying, for example, I've finished two books so far will not be considered official.


I hope you guys don't mind following these instructions. We are just trying to keep our challenges organized and fun.

Happy reading everyone.

Nichole (DirrtyH) (dirtyh) K, since there isn't a discussion thread I'll ask my question here. I know we're not supposed to start reading til November. But I have a book I started for September's challenge, got about 100 pages in and then got distracted by other things. I want to pick up where I left off and finish it... if I promise not to start until November, is it cool to use that for the challenge?

Hmm...i guess if you reread the aforementioned 100 pages at the beginning of the month, then it becomes officially a challenge book...since rereads are allowed.

Not that I'm going to check or anything...LOL

Nichole, if I've started a book I want to carry on with in a challenge I normally read the equivalent number of pages of another book once the month has started.

I'm dying to start that series, but I think I'm gonna finish the month with it--I like to read a series all in a row. This was a hard challenge to figure because of that--the only series I included was the Skinwalker one which there is only the 1st book out so far, and the Glass series, which has 2 books so far & I included them both.

Then I'll start my Cat & Bones journey through December. :)
