Remember that old Dance Party Team Challenge we did ages ago? Think of this challenge as a both homage and reinvention of that challenge!

How To’s and Rules:
🎼There will be no levels to this challenge. Re-reads are allowed and there are no page minimums for this challenge! Do remember that you CAN change your chosen Books at any time during the month to count for the challenge!
🎶 NO DUPLICATING BOOK OR TASK ENTRIES!! Books and Tasks are only to be used/listed/completed once! An example of this would be reading a book published in December 2014 for the "Read a book published in December (any year)" task, and then reading another book, this one published in December 2016, justifying it by saying that the books were published in two separate years. Once you complete the "Read a book published in December (any year)" task, it can't be completed a second time to complete the task.
🎹 Each month, a new artist will be chosen. There will always be a "Fun Fact" task listed, and then the artist's 10 "Greatest Hits" (as chosen by our mods!) will be listed as tasks for you to match your reading to. If you do not like the songs picked, but are still a fan of the artist, there will be a link to the artist's "Songbook" where you can see all songs by that performer and can choose a song to challenge yourself with, or you can choose to do the spell out options!
🎵You can read as many or as few books as you like each month! However, you must keep your original post updated and must also mark books as finished by adding the date finished next to the book listed and either striking them out using the "< s> < /s>" HTML commands (without the spaces) or by copying and pasting a checkmark: �� ��. No date or checkmark will ensure your post doesn't get counted for participation! Be sure to give a shout out in the thread when you're all done! Please do not make a separate post with your finished challenge, edit your original comment! This is so we can keep accurate track of participation. You can make an announcement post like "Finished in comment #2!", so we know where to find your completed challenge to congratulate you! Duplicate posts will be deleted!
📻 Duration will be from May 1st to May 31st, 2020.
📱 Call into DJ Trea by the 14th of each month to request a specific artist! (That means send her a PM if you've got an artist you'd like to see featured!)

Here is May 2020's Artist of the Month:

In case you weren't aware, Mod Trea's a huge geek...but she also enjoys listening to classical music. That's where her love of film scores comes from, and since May 4th, aka Star Wars Day, is fast approaching, she felt that it would be a great time to feature John Williams, composer of record for the Star Wars Film Franchise, on the Jukebox!

Fun Fact:
With 52 Oscar nominations, John Williams currently holds the record for the most Oscar nominations for a living person, and is the second most nominated person in Academy Awards history behind Walt Disney's 59. Read the 2nd and 5th book in a series (does not have to be from the same series) or a movie adaptation of a film that Williams has done the musical score for.

The Scores (In No Particular Order):
"Gidget Goes to Rome": Read a book where a main character dreams of visiting Rome, or actually does so.
"Jaws": Read a book in which a main character is a marine biologist
"Star Wars": Read an alien romance or a romance set in space
"Superman": Read a Superhero Romance
"Dracula": Read a Paranormal romance featuring Vampires
"Presumed Innocent": Read a book in which a main character is a lawyer
"Far and Away": Read a romance set in Ireland or where a main character is an Irish American
"Memoirs of a Geisha": Read a book set in World War II or Japan
"Lincoln": Read a book set in the Civil War
"The Post": Read a book where the main character is a journalist

Spell out the word DANCE or JOHN WILLIAMS using Title, Author, or Series Name No middle names on Author name!

I'm so glad you did. I realized after I posted that the post hadn't been set up. Even in these crazy times I'm doing too much at once.
