Down the Rabbit Hole with the White RabbitChallenge:
- 5 Rabbit Holes presented each month.
- Participants are not required to participate each month and may begin at any time.
- Participants may read from any or all of the Rabbit Holes.
- A book will be considered for a Rabbit Hole if it fits the 5 tag rule, if a major portion of the book concerns the subject verified by book blurb/description or a quote from the book to show the subject matter and possibly book title. What we want to avoid is just an incidental mention, for example if a character sees some horses in a field, this would not be counted as going down that Rabbit Hole.
- Each book read earns a game point
- An extra game point for matching PBT tag of the month.
- 5 extra points for reading 5 books in a Rabbit Hole or reading 1 book for 5 Rabbit Holes.
- Track your points throughout the challenge.
- Once a quarter participants may ask for an alternate Rabbit Hole to the ones which are presented and they will receive a randomized result.
- There will be a raffle at year's end which will be weighted by points earned.
For those members who find a Rabbit Hole which they like once a quarter they may designate one rabbit hole as their "warren". They can stay in their warren as long as they want, and each books they read in their warren gets them a raffle entry.

GrabTagThis activity is based on the top tag list for 2026:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
The idea is pretty simple - - read/grab as many tags on the list that you can in the year, but there would be some parameters:
1. Each book must be tagged 5 times with the tag(s) in question.
2. A single book can cover up to 10 tags. These tags need to be specified in your challenge tracker before the book is read/reviewed.
3. Each month, people can nominate tags that aren't on the list of the top tags, and we will throw those into a randomizer and 5 additional "lesser used" tags will be available for capture too. These special tags count for double. i.e. if you read one of them, it counts as two.
- If you would like to submit a tag please, use the form below.
- Make sure the tag you are going to submit is not on the tag list at the top of this message
- https://forms.gle/BdpcmwDLMv4Zgisr9
4. Goal is to read the most tags by end of the year. If you read all the tags by year end, you get 30 participation points and a raffle entry. There will be participation points given for reading 25% and 50% of the tags as well.
