I can read KU books but nothing else. Will check it out.
Hello Fall: Read 5-8 books1. Dancing in September: Earth, Wind and Fire's classic song has a lyric, "Dancing in September". How about you read a book where the character(s) dances in the book?
by Thea Harrison reread 9/8 and the MC's share a lovely and frustrating waltz.2.Read a Book Day September 6th is Read a Book Day. Do exactly that. Any book you read on September 6th counts for this part of the challenge.
3.Be Your Best Self: September is Self-Improvement Month. You can read a book that classifies as self-help or you can read a book where a character goes through a journey of self-improvement and actualization.
by Cassandra Gannon read 9/1. So, this book is part parody while also a pretty good story where the MC grows out of his "part".4.Please and Thank You: September is Courtesy Month. Read a book where a character has exquisite manners, or conversely, could stand to practice courtesy as suggested this month. Let us know which one.
5. (Don't) Be Late For Something!: September 5th is Be Late for Something Day. I don't recommend being late for appointments,
except for your funeral. You could read a book where a character is habitually late, or being late is an integral part of the storyline.
by Natasha Boyd read 9/07 and the MC's meet/become involved due to the heroine running late for a plane.6.I Beg Your Pardon!: September 8th is Pardon Day. It's a day to excuse yourself when you do something wrong, or to ask forgiveness for the harm or hurt you've done to others. Read a book where a character makes an effort to ask forgiveness for what they've done.
by Mia Sheridan read 9/3 and when one MC makes an apology it is deeply moving!7.Swap Ideas and Other Things: While the holiday on September 10 is strictly about swapping ideas, how about we tackle the theme of characters who swap lives or personalities? It could be due to magical (or scientific intervention), or it could be a sort of Parent Trap/Prince and the Pauper) scenario.
8.Hispanic Heritage Month: September is Hispanic Heritage Month. Read a book that spotlights Latin American culture, or features a lead character who is of Latin American/Hispanic heritage.
9.Oh, Honey, Honey.: September is Honey Month. Read a book that represents and aspect of honey, a naturally made sweet liquid that comes from bees. Here's a sight that features information about honey: https://glorybee.com/content/honey-fa....
10.Piano Man or Woman: September is Piano Month. The piano is a classic music instrument that has a singular sound. Read a book that celebrates the piano in some way. Here are some facts about the piano: https://www.omahaschoolofmusicanddanc.... You could alternatively read a book that is named after a famous song that has a prominent piano instrumentation. Or a book where a lead character plays the piano.
11.Happy Wife, Happy Life!: The third Sunday in September is Wife Appreciation Day. Read a book where the lead character is a well-appreciated wife, or the lead character heaps appreciation on their wife.
