As always, choose as many or as few categories as you like. It's up to you if you fill them in with all mysteries or use any other genre mixed in.

Sept 2 - National Beheading Day - Read a book where someone was murdered.

Sept 6 - Fight Procrastination Day - Read the oldest book on your GR's TBR list.

Sept 11 - No News is Good News Day - Read a book with a building on the cover.

Sept 19 - International Talk Like A Pirate Day - Always a fun one. Read any book with a pirate in it, or any book that has a scene that takes place on a ship, or has a ship on the cover. BONUS: Make a post here that day where you sound like a pirate. ;)

Sept 28 - Ask a Stupid Question Day - Read a book that has at least one ditzy character in it.

Happy Reading
