Nothing But Reading ChallengesA Sign of the Times Reading Challenge
Duration: 6/21/2019 - 6/20/2020
Progress: 77 out of 77
This challenge lasts for 1 year from the date you start
Here's a challenge that changes as the year goes on because you read the current astrological sign for the time period you're in.
What is an astrological sign?
According to Wikipedia, "In Western astrology the zodiac of twelve signs represents twelve types of personality. The zodiac traditionally begins with Aries."
How do I play?
You read the letters of the sign associated with the time frame you're currently in. The letter must correspond to the first letter of a title, the first letter of an author's first or last name, or the first letter of a character's first or last name from the book. Just let us know what the link to the letter is if it's not obvious. You may ignore the 'A', 'An', 'The', etc. at the beginning of titles to get to the first significant word. So "The Virgin's Secret" would be a 'V' title and "A Highlander Christmas" would be an 'H' title. (Thanks for the example BJ Rose) Once you get through all the signs you may start over again and read different books or re-read books you've read before. As long as you read. Since our current date falls with the time period of July 23 to August 22 (The sign of Leo) We will read Leo by spelling it out.
Here are the 12 signs and their respective dates:
June 22 to July 22 - Cancer (6)

Here's a challenge that changes as the year goes on because you read the current astrological sign for the time period you're in.
What is an astrological sign?
According to Wikipedia, "In Western astrology the zodiac of twelve signs represents twelve types of personality. The zodiac traditionally begins with Aries."
Here are the 12 signs and their respective dates:
July 23 to August 22 - Leo
August 23 to September 22 - Virgo
September 23 to October 23 - Libra
October 24 to November 21 - Scorpio
November 22 to December 22 - Sagittarius
December 23 to January 22 - Capricorn
January 20 to February 19 - Aquarius
February 20 to March 20 - Pisces
March 20 to April 20 - Aries
April 21 to May 20 - Taurus
May 21 to June 21 - Gemini
June 22 to July 22 - Cancer
Just a note: Wikipedia and other sources seem to vary slightly with the dates. I could not find 2 sources who were totally in agreement. The current time frame was gotten from the Wikipedia at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology
How do I play?
You read the letters of the sign associated with the time frame you're currently in. The letter must correspond to the first letter of a title, the first letter of an author's first or last name, or the first letter of a character's first or last name from the book. Just let us know what the link to the letter is if it's not obvious. You may ignore the 'A', 'An', 'The', etc. at the beginning of titles to get to the first significant word. So "The Virgin's Secret" would be a 'V' title and "A Highlander Christmas" would be an 'H' title. (Thanks for the example BJ Rose) Once you get through all the signs you may start over again and read different books or re-read books you've read before. As long as you read. Since our current date falls with the time period of July 23 to August 22 (The sign of Leo) We will read Leo by spelling it out.
Can I have an example, please?
L - Leo (character) Married by Morning by Lisa Kleypas
E - Evermore by Alyson Noel
O - Olivia Parker(author) At the Bride Hunt Ball
Leo is a character in the book Married by Morning by Lisa Kleypas. His name starts with L so that is the connection. As Lisa also starts with L you could have connected the book to L by using the author's name.
Evermore has an E in it's title and that is it's connection with the letter E.
Olivia Parker is the author of At the Bride Hunt Ball. Her name begins with O so there is the connection to O. If her last name had started with O that could have been used as the connection/link to O.
Note:
In 2010 we started this challenge, and we've now decided to start a new thread for the challenge to freshen it up a bit! You can find the old thread here
