Duration: January 1 - January 31, 2023


Like a virtual party game, this challenge involves choosing favorite answers from pairs of opposites. Read one relevant book for each of your answers. How you interpret the question, and how you relate the book to your answer, is up to you.

You many choose only one answer per question, even if both are suitable. To join, post a comment telling the challenge leader how many books you will read. So what's it gonna be... this or that?

1. Early bird or night owl?
2. Costume party or pool party?
3. Cats or dogs?
4. Music festival or art festival?
5. Mountains or ocean?
6. Cooking class or dance lessons?
7. Spring or autumn?
8. Ghost tour or historical tour?
9. Country or city?
10. Thunderstorm or snowstorm?

Sunny volunteered to lead this challenge. Thank you most kindly, Sunny!
