\"Monthly<\/p>\n

Bev at My Reader’s Block is too good at coming up with tempting reading challenges. I can’t seem to keep from signing up for them. A new one for me for 2018 is the Monthly Keyword Challenge, which she is hosting for the first time. In this challenge,<\/p>\n

Your task is to read at least one book each month whose title includes one or more of the key words for that month. For instance, in January you might read Mystery in White by J. Jefferson Farjeon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

  1. January (keyword white<\/strong>):\u00a0Only the Ball Was White<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0by Robert Peterson<\/li>\n
  2. February (keyword and<\/strong>): Rumple and<\/strong> the Golden Thread<\/em>\u00a0by John Mortimer<\/li>\n

    This will be my first reading challenge in which I have to read a book in a particular month, so I’ll be interested in seeing if that stifles my reading tastes too much during the year. As with my other challenges, I’ll be keeping track of my progress at my 2018 Reading Challenges page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
