I'm new to this group and Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ groups in general, this sounds like a fun motivation to finish some current reads and get onto books, which I've been meaning to read from some time.
Tasks completed 0/4
Edit (10.11.22): I ended up not finishing the challenge on time, as I got distracted by other books first :P. I ended up reading two personal development books instead in October since I posted. I then completed a fantasy novel I've been stuck on from a while earlier this month and I finished reading one of the books on the challenge list below yesterday, so I'm a bit late. Starting 'Dewey' book now :) Made some progress on '10 Things about Writing', but I'm finding it's more of a book to read a bit at a time and let it sink in, rather than finishing it quickly.
Tasks:
🎈9th - Fire Prevention Day
~Read a book with fire on cover or “fire� in title.
I Shall Wear Midnight (Discworld #38) by Terry Pratchett, Paperback � 3/5

🎈11th - International Day of the Girl Child
