Let's recap our year with the Monthly Motif reading challenge! You can answer the questions below - or share anything you want ...

* Did you read a book every month? Which months did you do - or did you not do?
* Which months were the most challenging to find a book to read?
* What was your favorite motif and book read for the challenge?
* What was your least favorite book or genre that you read?

Any suggestions for us for 2021

*Yes, covered all months! Some were a challenge, doing two different challenges and a book club read each month. But when you're retired, it helps. ;)
*September and December. Wish I'd thought of a graphic novel for Sept., and since my usual genre is suspense/mystery/crime novel, finding something fun and light was a challenge, but I did eventually find something.
* My favorite motif is always October, so many good creepy and great horror books out there! Full Throttle by Joe Hill was a great book of short horror stories.
*The least favorite is December, as much as lightness is needed. Good to force me out of my rut though. Least favorite book was the Beekeeper for August, not that engaging.
*Suggestions - As mentioned in the Keyword wrap up, would like to see a brief rating or review for books read by everyone, so we can see what's good (or what's not). Otherwise love the challenges and feedback!
(One note, the wrap-up discussions didn't pop up on my notification feed, not sure why. Just came across them by accident.)

1. I completed every month!

2. Creature Feature for August was tricky for me.
