IT'S A PERKS CONNECTED READ-A-THON


Image and video hosting by TinyPic

As a group let's see what we can read in the month of March and have a Read-A-Thon with a twist!

How this works...


* Each book needs to "connect" to the last one posted

* "Connects" can be based on by genre, author, title, character names, colour of cover, same award won or number of pages

* As soon as you have a book that you have read in Sept 2015 that can connect to the last one, post it with the reasons it "connects" and the running tally for you, and for the group for the month, and let's see how many books we can read and connect in the month!



EXAMPLE

Post 1:
Kristie posts:
Mr. Mercedes (Bill Hodges Trilogy, #1) by Stephen King Mr. Mercedes
Kristie's tally - 1 book
Perks Group tally - 1 book

Post 2:
Karen Posts
The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden
Connected by: "King" (author and then title)
Karen's tally: 1 book
Perks group tally: 2 books

Post 3:
Kristie posts:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1) by Stieg Larsson The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Connected by: Cover colour is yellow
Kirstie's tally: 2 books
Perks group tally: 3 books

.... hopefully you get the idea....


NOTE: You can read any book of any length, children's books and graphic novels also count. Please just remember to check the tally of the book ahead of you and add up the tally as you post

Books need to be marked as "read" between March 1 and March 31. (It doesn't matter when you started)

Ericka Scott Nelson | 51 comments 1984 1984 by George Orwell
1984 by George Orwell

Connection: The title above includes the word "True"; the concept of truth is thematically significant to 1984. The ruling party claims control over truth. One of the central conflicts between the party and the protagonist is the individual's ability to autonomously determine the truth through objective observation.
