Summer is over, and the temperatures are slowly cooling down, soon it will be time to snuggle in and turn to comfort reading. When I retreat to comfort reading I turn to my collection of childhood classics. Among this collection is ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and the sequel ‘Through the Looking Glass’. I always thought it a lovely idea to be able to go down a rabbit hole, or through a looking glass and escape the cares of the world and have a magical adventure in a Wonderland.
So this month, April, I am offering you all a chance to start to slow down and create your own wonderland adventure in a wonderland. Unlike Alice though – you will be able to pick which characters you want to spend time with.
You can choose to spend time with 3, 6 or 9 characters – reading a book for each one you spend time with and, of course, including Australian authors in your choices.
3 Characters = 3 Books (1 must be by an Australian author)
6 Characters = 6 Books (2 must be by Australian authors)
9 Characters = 9 Books (3 must be by Australian authors)
DON'T FORGET
1. Our guidelines HERE
2. Please include pictures of the book covers especially when the task requires something to be on the cover - for example if you pick the task with arms or legs showing on the cover - we need to see those covers as we don't have time to click on each link to go and check :)
3. If a character has to do something - don't forget to write the sentence where they do it e.g. - Read a book where someone sews something - Feels Like Home by Lisa Ireland – pg 92 – it didn’t take Jo long to stitch the button back on
