If January is National Braille Literacy Month how about something on Helen Keller or Anne Sullivan?
While the "Feast of Fabulous Wild Men" day sounds deliciously intriguing, I think I'm going to choose "National Popcorn Day." We could choose a book that has a movie adaptation and commit to reading & watching both versions and comparing them afterwards.

I like Sarah's idea! How about a book where the main character(s) experience a rebirth since it is a new year and people make resolutions to make a better self and all?
I like all of the ideas so far. We could tweak Babs' idea just a little and say any book with a blind protagonist or main character. There are some really good ones out there. How about a cozy mystery to "cuddle up" on the couch with.
I like that idea...wish I had a fire place to go along with the mystery novel! But yes a blind protagonist or mian character would be great!
I would love that fireplace, too, but will have to settle for a couch and and a quilt.

I just have to say that I thought Bath Safety Month was hysterical. There were some interesting choices, but I am most drawn to the idea of Peculiar People Day
haha!! I like Penguin Awareness day. I love penguins. But seriously I like National Sleep Day. How about Rip Van Winkle?! On a side note, I think I will be participating in Male Watching day.
OOOO Aly, I'm telling! Actually, I'll just join you. Sounds good to me.
We could make it a month, what the heck.
Hehe!! yes let's!! Eh, he's away for another nine months. I think he'll be ok with me just man watching hehe!!
Who will you be watching Aly; Tudor re-runs perhaps? ;)
Ooo!!! Yeah! Or anything with Chris Pine. He's my new celeb crush lol

I am glad to see the winners. Looks like a few good books. I will have to see what to read.
These look good - If I Stay is probably what I'll go with!
Mod
I still have to catch up on passed monthly reads.
If I Stay is sort of sad and uplifting at the same time. It is a phenomenal book.
