10 - November 18th Occult Day – (Occult Day is a mysterious day, outside the realm of the normal and natural world.
Concealed, secret, hidden, mysterious, un-natural. These are all words to describe the world of Occult. Astrology should readily come to mind. Alchemy, too. Many secret groups are occults.
Have a mysteriously Happy Occult Day!!!) - So read a book that would fit in with above rules!

11 – November 23rd is Buy Nothing Day (US) – So read a book you already have or read a library book!

12 – November 30th is Stay at home because you’re well day – So (if you can) skive off work and read any book!

Melissa Ward Although I'm still not sure I agree with this many books, I am wondering... do they have to be read on those days specifically?

Lyndsay Erin | 99 comments So, should we all be away November 30th....no one says anything, lol


message 6: by Lyndsay (new)

Lyndsay Erin | 99 comments I would say no, just in the month. While I can read a book in a day, it's not always easy
