I have decided to join in with another Reading Challenge for 2018 and this one is courtesy of the wonderful The Book Vipers - GoodReads group and looks set to test us all - mainly in searching out titles to fit all the topics! I may be requesting suggestions for some of them so get your thinking caps on please! I need help... in more ways than one!!
So the challenge is to read a book that fits the titles below! There are 3 levels that can be done - 9 squares, 16 squares or the full 25! I'm aiming for the 25 so we will see how we go!
Have already started a little looksie through my shelves to see what books I can get read that fit the topics! Here's my initial list - with a number of gaps! - so hopefully I can complete the challenge!
A Classic - lots of candidates on my bookshelves so will choose later!
A Book About Money - struggling with this one so any suggestions welcome!!
A Book Under 100 Pages - not found any on my shelves yet so might have to go shopping!
A Book Of Poems - very poor poetry knowledge so where should I start?!
