The Challenge Factory discussion

As I was searching the web for ideas for this month's foreman challenge, I came across this wonderful picture,



which took me to an interesting blog. I decided to base my foreman challenge on a post the blogger made about the books her family enjoyed that February.

The first three reading prompts are inspired by the book; the fourth by the author.
Read as many or a few books as you want.
You can read one of each or many of one.
No page limit. Re-reads are allowed.
