JANUARY - NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION CHALLENGE



GOAL: Complete as many resolutions as possible

INSTRUCTIONS: Resolutions are common around New Year’s. For this challenge, you’ll be given prompts. We have 2 types of prompts: fiction and nonfiction. Each member who signs up will be given a thread where they will post their New Year’s Resolutions. These will be titled [member name]’s Journal.

For this challenge, there will be a points system. You’ll get 1 point for each book you read, plus points for the page count of the book chosen and 2 bonus points if you’ve never read the book you chose. You will also get points depending on which type of prompt you read. Fiction prompts are worth 1 point, while non-fiction books are worth 2 points. For each genre/book type resolution section you complete, you get five points.

In this book, the main character, Gypsy doesn’t have a crush but her older brother does with this girl named Nola and they do kiss. But since the main character doesn’t fall in love, does the kiss with Samson and Nola make it not be able to be in the prompt ‘Without Romance��?

I said it was based on a movement because the Bible is about Jesus, but also about how many of God’s prophets tried to have the people turn to God. And it worked! For most people, at least.
