I'm in. I'll do Category A to begin with and may try Category B
Signing you up :)You can couple them if you want - a book can count both for a Category A criteria and a B criteria.

Welcome to our first monthly challenge! I have taken some common Western-”themes” and divided them into two categories, A and B, with four criteria in each. The books you read simply have to fit a single criteria, but they can fit two if they're from different categories and can be from any genre, not just western. Happy reading! :)
Category A – The main character:
✧ Is involved in a duel
✧ Is a law-enforcer
✧ Gambles
✧ Spends most of their time traveling
Category B – Miscellanous:
✧ Native Americans play a part in the story
✧ The story takes place in USA
✧ The setting is a frontier (can be any kind of frontier, including other planets!)
✧ The story takes place somewhere between the late 18th century and the late 19th century
Extra brownie points for the gambling being card games, the law-enforcer a sheriff and the traveling involving horses! ;)
Rules:
- The books do NOT have to be from the GOTM, however it is encouraged.
- One book can only fit one criteria, with one exception: it may fit two if the criteria are from different categories.
- BOTM reads can count if they fit a criteria
- There is no minimum page count.
- Sign up here and update your progress, adding the books with Add a Book. Of course you also have to let us know which criteria it fits. You do not have to chose in advance how many books you want to read.
