This should encourage us all to read books from different genres, series or authors. The options are endless!
This is ideal as a short challenge to complete each month, which is very doable, and can be combined with books from other challenges.
It's simple and it's FUN.
SO...LET'S PICK THREE!
During the month of NOVEMBER...
1. Pick 3 books that are of three different genres.
2. In honor of Veteran's Day... Pick 3 books that feature either a war; a military person in the story; or something patriotic on the cover. May be in any combination of the 3 choices.
3. In honor of Thanksgiving...Pick 3 books that feature a character that travels or 3 books by authors whose last name initial can be found in either THANKSGIVING or VETERANS.
4. Pick 3 books that have covers that are at least 50% red, yellow, orange, or brown or the story takes place mostly in the fall.
5. Pick 3 books that were written by either a British or an American author. Can be any combination of the two.

Ah,lovely! Thanks Carol:0)
Had a hard time managing the challenge this month as I've only completed 9 books altogether in November to date!.I read 22 or 23 during the last 3 months,this month has been fraught with real life problems,and my reading has taken a back seat to some extent.I have around 10 books still to read to finish all challenges on LT for this year,so fingers crossed I succeed!
