The rules are simple:
• Each month, read a book that corresponds to the category.
• No page limit.
• It can be a book that you’ve already read.
• Novellas, graphic novels, audiobooks and anthologies can count toward a category
• If you missed a month, you can go back and read a previous month’s task.
• Keep us updated on how your reading challenge is going on our book posts!
JANUARY - A book that is being adapted into a movie or TV show in 2017
It's always fun to read a book before it is made into a movie or TV show - you'll get to complain about all the things the adaptation didn't get right in the ONTD posts about it.
These are just SOME of the books that fit into this category:

FEBRUARY - “We are all learning”
I’m glad we are having this conversation. It’s time (to read some non-fiction!). This month, pick up a non-fiction book that you can learn something from. Some examples:
MARCH - A book recommended by a celeb
Any celebrity, although it is more fun if you can find something your fave has read and liked. We've had some posts about celebrities' favourite books (here and here), Emma Watson and Florence Welch both have book clubs, you can check out the several celebrity recs at One Grand, or google other lists.
APRIL - A book that has been adapted into an Oscar-nominated movie
There is actually a LOT to choose from. These are just some of them:
A more detailed list of books can be found here, at the Oscar’s Library.
MAY - A book that starts with one of the letters in "ONTD"
(The article "The" doesn't count)
Some suggestions:
JUNE - “No fam, it was I!”
Last year gemdiamandis became an ONTD legend after one of her tumblr posts was misattributed to Alan Rickman and went viral after his death. This month, read a book about identity theft (examples here), impostors (list examples here and here), or hoaxes (examples here and here).
JULY - “I don’t know her”
Read a book by a female author whom you have never read anything by. If you need ideas of women authors, you can check out this goodreads list.
AUGUST - FFAF (Free for All Fiction)
This month, read any fiction book you’d like!
SEPTEMBER - A book recommended in an ONTD Book Post
We have regular book posts on ONTD and they are a great way of finding new books to read. It can be something recommended in the post itself, or a book that an ONTDer says they liked, or you can ask for more specific recs in the comments!
OCTOBER - “It’s darksided!”
Gargoyles, psychics, everything’s ungodly! October is a month for spooky reads! Here are some suggestions:
NOVEMBER - A book written by a celeb
Some suggestions:
DECEMBER - A book that won an award in 2017
Any award you want - you can go high-brow with the Nobel Prize in Literature, the Man Booker Prize or the National Book Award, explore what’s best in speculative fiction with the Hugo and Nebula awards, get scared by the Shirley Jackson or Bram Stoker Awards, read women with the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction, fall in love with the Romance Writers of America (RITA Awards), etc!
