The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

20.4 - Author! Author! - Valorie's task: Happy New Year!!
It's time to get your New Year resolutions ready. Below are a few of the top resolutions people make in January. Please pick a resolution from below and read a book that fits with the option you choose.

1. Get Fit/Lose Weight: Read a non-fiction book about getting fit, exercising, or eating healthier. Or knock some lbs. from your "owned to be read" pile by reading a book you already own but haven't gotten to yet.

2. Quit Smoking: Read a book with smoke or fire on the cover. Or has any form of the word smoke or fire in the title or subtitle.

3. Drink Less Alcohol: Read a book with an alcoholic beverage on the cover, in the title, or subtitle. Or reading a fiction or non-fiction book book with a storyline that revolves around alcohol in some way. Here's a GRs list that might help: Booze. As usual, use caution with the GRs lists. Make sure the book you choose actually fits the task.

4. Save Money/Manage Debt: Read a book with a mainly green cover, a non-fiction book about saving money or managing debt, or a book you got for free (from the library, a book swap, as a gift, free download, etc.).

5. Take a Trip/Vacation: Read a book that takes place in a city, state, or country you want to visit.

Required: Identify the resolution you picked when you post. If using one of the cover options please include the cover when posting. If using the trip/vacation option please include the country you want to visit.

Option 5: A city or state you want to visit will also work for this option.

Option 4: Approved Green Covers

This thread is now open.

This book looks like it has fire on the cover to me.

Or, would you take a city/state we would like to visit instead of a country?

It's hard to tell if there is actual fire or if the cover is just orange and yellow. Yes, a book set in a city or state you want to visit will work!

Yes. The Passage may still work then. Thank you!

The Twenty Dollar Bill
Does this fit option 4?
It's not about saving or managing money and I'm not sure if it's green enough.

I'll take it as green enough.

This is the perfect place to fit Daughter of Smoke and Bone. And next year will hopefully be the year that I kick my nicotine habit. Great task! :)

Glad you like it Randi, and good luck quitting!

To take pounds off of my TBR pile I could read any book on that list, right?

Thats right Sarah, sorry for the late response I had a new DVD drive installed in my computer so it has been gone for a few days.

Would
by David Sederis work for Option #3?

Thanks!

Sure that works!

For option 5 (set in place you want to visit), will a non-fiction book, such as a travel guide, work?

Thanks!

That will work
