This challenge is a celebration of the number of the month. There will be no levels and no page requirements, and the idea is to mix and match among the prompts for as many as your books will fit. However, a book may only be used for one prompt at a time, not multiple prompts! Duration will be from September 1st to September 30th, 2021.

Your challenge is to read as many books as you can that correspond to these listed prompts. Your sign up post is the post you should keep updated. DO NOT copy your sign up post to announce you are finished with the challenge! Books listed should also have completion dates to count as participating in the challenge! Here are the prompts:

Hi, is there no October By the Numbers?

I was wondering the same thing!

I think maybe because only about 4 people join in.
I love this challenge so much.

There wasn't going to be one, no. You were correct with your assessment that it's due to the fact that there are only 4 people that actively participate in the challenge.

However, since the participants are asking for it, I've posted a new one for October, and will continue to post the challenge through December of 2021. The challenge will not be reposted in 2022. Thank you all for your enthusiasm for this challenge!
