Here are your November 2018 Mini Challenges!


RULES

** Books DO NOT all have to be mysteries. You can use any genres.

** A book can only be used once for this challenge, but can be used for other challenges (Seasonal, World Trip, Ultimate, etc.).

** You DO NOT have to choose books in advance, and can change your mind at any time if you do.

** Do as many as you are able and have fun!



1. November 2 is Plan your Epitaph Day: Find a book that depicts a tombstone or graveyard on the cover, or features a cemetery/grave/graveyard in the story or title (e.g.: The Graveyard Book or Of Grave Concern would count.)

2. November is National Novel Writing Month, November 5 is Book Lovers Day and November 8 Young Readers Day: Read a book ABOUT books. That could involve a bookstore, library, book restorer, literary agent, collector, or book group � or even the novel Fahrenheit 451 or the nonfiction When Books Went to War � just so long as it revolves around books.

3. November 2 is Look for Circles Day: Read a book that has something round on the cover. This could be a plate, an embroidery hoop, a tire, a wreath, a pan, cookies, flowers � anything that is a circle!

4. November 17 is World Peace Day: Read a book set in a country other than your own.

5. November 22 is Go for a Ride Day: Read a book in which someone goes for a ride, be it by bicycle, boat, car, horse, train, wagon, etc..
