I love waking up to the crisp fall mornings. These are days to light a candle and snuggle down with a book. With the busy season of summer behind us, Charity and I want to stimulate to our reading life so this month's challenges may feel a little more stretching than the last few months.
October Reading Challenges
1. Read a book by an author you’ve never read.
Here is a chance to pull a book off the shelf (or your friend's shelf or the library shelf) of a new-to-you author.
2. Read a book written by a pastor.
This can be any genre--nonfiction, fiction, poetry, memoir, doctrine, etc.
3. Read a book about royalty.
This challenge includes any book that includes a king or queen as a main character. It can be a book of ancient history, a middle-grade fantasy, a current book on the British royal family, or a book about our king, Jesus.
Charity suggested Angel on the Square by Gloria Whelan if you want an excellent middle-grade novel on Russian royalty. If you ever get stumped on any of these challenges, just ask. We both love to give book recommendations.
4. Press a pretty leaf in a book.
Depending where you live, October may be your last chance to enjoy some sunshine on your face while reading. Take a walk and find a leaf to use as your bookmark this month.
5. Read a book at a coffee shop.
Charity works at a coffee shop so if you are local, you can enjoy some book talk with your barista as well!
Enjoy reading in October.
I enjoy the Sisters' Reading Challenges very much!
ReplyDeleteI read Angel on the square at this recommendation, thank you! It was an excellent read.
ReplyDeleteAnymore recommendations for that time period in Russia?
I don't know of any more books on this time period but Gloria Whelan has written several more books in the Russian series that I think follow the family in subsequent years.
