We are going to do 4 Seasonal Challenges this year. Since it is Winter we will start with that one. Winter ends in February ( or around there somewhere) so this challenge will go from now until the end of February. ***UPDATE, THIS CHALLENGE WILL BE OPEN UNTIL MARCH 19TH. ***

Here is the themes you can choose books from for this challenge. How many do you plan on reading?

* Older people are said to be "in the winter of there lives" so read a book centering around an older couple.

* The weather is often unpredictable in the winter but read a book about snow bound people or revolving around snow or ice impacting them.

*Read a book that has to do with skiing or ice skating, snow ball fights, school snow days

* In mythology winter is said to be when Persephone spends time in the underworld, read a book where this comes into play.

*cover is or has a picture: white, fire , snow, scarf, coats, snowballs, sledding

* Older people are said to be "in the winter of there lives" so read a book centering around an older couple. This book centers around two sisters, both widows. As they grapple with old age, a crumbling neighborhood, and strained relationships with children, they decide to go on a grand adventure that will change their lives in ways they could have never imagined. Great read!

* The weather is often unpredictable in the winter but read a book about snow bound people or revolving around snow or ice impacting them.
The main character has to survive on her own in a sod house on the prairie frontier after getting snowed in during a blizzard.

Oddly enough, in this book there is a climactic scene in an ice-covered building created by a girl who generates ice with just her touch.

*Read a book that has to do with skiing or ice skating, snow ball fights, school snow days In this book, the main character retells a scene about falling through the ice while ice skating and being saved by a friend. It figures prominently in the beginning of the book.

* In mythology winter is said to be when Persephone spends time in the underworld, read a book where this comes into play.

*cover is or has a picture: white, fire , snow, scarf, coats, snowballs, sledding Boy walking in the snow on the cover.

So far I have two books that tied into this, but sadly in the same category.

I've just started The Widows' Adventures about two widows - in the winter of their lives - and their adventure across the U.S. Hoping to cross a few more off of this challenge.

Finished The Widows' Adventures for the "winter of their lives" category. Wonderful story. See my edited list here for more info.

This week I should also finish a book at school where an ice skating incident was featured prominently in the story.

I've been able to do 3 out of 5 on this challenge. Might hit another one today.

***UPDATE**

THIS CHALLENGE WILL BE OPEN UNTIL MARCH 19TH WHICH IS THE LAST DAY OF WINTER.



I should have looked at a calendar before I posted the challenge.

Oh, good. I should be able to knock them all out by then.

Marked another one off this list.
