SBTB Goodreads Group discussion

This quarterly challenge features five themed tasks per month, totaling fifteen tasks total.

Duration: October 1 - December 31

Instructions:

There are five tasks per month. I researched a lot of weird holidays for this one.

Tasks can be completed in any order. For example, you can read a book in July that satisfies an August task. The months are only there to serve as task inspiration.

Only one book can be used per task. If a book fulfills two tasks, you'll have to choose!

Books can only be used if they were started and finished during the challenge's time frame.

Please post in this thread if you have any questions!

Congrats to all the finishers!! I lost some mojo in December and did a lot of re-reads and then some KU bingeing, so I didn't finish this time :( It's my first time not finishing this challenge, and I read books that I enjoyed, so I don't consider it a fail. Looking forward to the next challenge list!
