Challenge #10: Read a book for the Life Balance Wheel semi-rolling challenge
Read a book that has one of the life goal themes below as a MAIN/SIGNIFICANT theme or is in the title, author's name, on the cover or in the first level tags (don't click on show all.)
PLEASE include short description of how it fits the challenge.
ONLY the words mentioned will be accepted. Exceptions are plural/singular and embedded (including across words.) But they must be in that form, i.e. brother not bro, pal not buddy,
1. Relationships (partner(s), first degree relative(s), "best friend")
2. Social (everyone else)
3. Health/Fitness
4. Finances
5. Career/Business
6. Volunteering/Giving Back/Legacy
7. Creativity (art, music, crafts)
8. Spiritual/Moral
9. Fun and Joy (reading, movies, collecting)
10. Travel and Adventure (sports)
11. Self Development/Personal Growth/Learning (Education)
12. Home and Pets
INFO:
This challenge will be easy in one way - it covers all the parts of life. Most books should fit *somewhere* in the challenge. The tricky part will be getting that particular spot before someone else!
This is a semi-rolling challenge - so each set of twelve can be filled in any order.
Another set can be opened when 10 of 12 have been filled. There can't be more than 3 open sets at a time.
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* READ ME *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
You DON'T have to read everything below. Read the entire first theme to get an idea of all the ways a book can qualify. The most important info is in the italicized lines. You'd probably be okay with just that.
For more options, look at the sentence beginning, "Book with the word..." For all the options, read the rest.
