2014 READ THE SEASON WELSH EDITION: HYDREF (Autumn)

It's beginning to feel a lot like.... chilly weather, hot cider, and falling leaves. Yay, autumn!

Welcome to the READ THE SEASON AUTUMN CHALLENGE!!

Read-the-Season Challenge follows the same format as our popular Read-the-Month Challenge, except that you have a whole season to finish your books.

To make it more interesting, we will be using different languages each year for our Read-the-Season and Read-the-Month challenges. For 2014, we will be using Welsh. Also, for 2014, we have a new twist for the Read the Season Challenge! Not only can you read the seasons, but we're adding seasonal holidays (or significant days) to the mix!

So, here is the timeline:

Y GAEAF (Winter) - December 21, 2013 - March 19, 2014
Y GWANWYN (Spring) - March 20, 2014 - June 20, 2014
Yr HAF (Summer) - June 21, 2014 - September 22, 2014
Yr HYDREF (Autumn) - September 23, 2014 - December 20, 2014


Autumn holidays: (again, a bit scarce, so we're going with Saint/church days)

Autumn Equinox - Alban ELFED
Michaelmas Day (Sep 29) - Gwyl MIHANGEL
Halloween: CALAN GAEAF
All Saints' Day (medieval): yr HOLL SEINT
Festival of the eleven thousand Virgins (Oct 21): y GWERYDDON why is this my fave?
Harvest/Thanksgiving: DDIOLCHGARWCH


READ-THE-SEASON AUTUMN CHALLENGE:
Duration: September 23, 2014 - December 20, 2014

Rules are simple.
1. Using the word HYDREF or the bolded words of your select holidays, pick a book title or author (first or last name) that begins with the letters in the chosen season/holiday. Disregard a, an, the, etc.
2. Books must be started and finished within the season duration. You can start the challenge anytime within the season. You can also backdate books read within the season.
3. Upgrading levels is fine, especially if you become super active! (just not downgrading - it's a challenge, right?)

Choose your own difficulty!
Level 1 - read the season
Level 2 - read the season and 1 holiday
Level 3 - read the season and 3 holidays
Extreme! - read both the season and all holidays (60 books in all! Hefty this season :D )

Happy Autumn Reading!!
