Hello,

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
~ Read a book with a girl child as a main character or the main character has a young daughter.
Peaches for Monsieur le Curé (Chocolat #3) by Joanne Harris, Paperback


🎈16th - Dictionary Day
~ Read a book with “dictionary� or "word" in title. Plurals are acceptable.
Ten Things About Writing: Build Your Story, One Word at a Time
by Joanne Harris, Audiobook


🎈29th - National Cat Day
~ Read a book with a cat on cover or prevalent in story
Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
(Dewey Readmore) by Vicki Myron, Bret Witter, Paperback


Only two weeks left in this month so let's see how I'll do :) Two of the mentioned books are my current reads though, so maybe I have a chance.

Regards to everyone and good luck with your reads.📚📚

Welcome, MauQ! Hope you enjoy the challenge. :)
