Krysta (krystafig) | 4089 comments Making Connections
Duration: October 1st, 2015 � December 31st, 2015


This challenge is all about making connections.
Books must be added one at a time, because you must finish your first book before finding a second book to connect to it. You then must finish your second book before finding a third book to connect to that one.

Books may be connected by one or more words in the titles, authors with similar names, books published in the same month, or books published in the same year.
You may read two consecutive books by the same author, but then you must break the chain and read something by a different author.
A, An and The do not count for connecting words in the titles, but all other words will be accepted.
If you are using the year of publication, it must be the year the book was originally published, no matter what edition you read.

Example Time:
If my first book is Lion's Share by Rachel Vincent, the next book I read would need to have "Lion’s" (not just Lion, the full word must match) or "Share" in the title, be written by an author with "Rachel" or "Vincent" in his/her name, or be published in the month of February or in the year 2015. If I read A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas (published in 2015) for my second book, then my third book could be Princess of Thorns by Stacey Jay, and my fourth could be Grimm Mistresses by Stacey Turner.

Books do not have to be paranormal, but it is highly encouraged!

When you sign up for the challenge, please choose your level of participation.

Participation Levels:

May there be a connection in the Author and the Titel? Like the authors last name is the same as a word in the titel in the next? :D
