Allison and I are undertaking the Fall/Winter Book Challenge after having so much fun doing the Spring/Summer one. We both agreed it made us read books we wouldn't have normally {some we enjoyed and some we didn't, but hey, that's what made it a challenge}, and we both think this challenge has some more...challenging {ha} topics. Knowing us, it won't be difficult for us to finish, but I still have a few topics I haven't figured out yet - the bottom 2 listed being the most challenging for me.
The categories and points:
5 points: Read a book that has between 100 and 200 pages.

first and last name in the title (e.g. The
Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, The
Story of Edgar Sawtelle).
20 points: Read a food-themed book.
20 points: Read a book with a verb in
the title. (For any grammar nerds out there, I mean “verb” in the most general
sense, so gerunds count. For non-grammar-inclined people, just use any book
that appears to have a verb in the title!)
30 points: Read two books with the same title (by different authors).
Anyone want to join us?
