Romance Lovers for the Challenge-Impaired discussion

Remember that old Dance Party Team Challenge we did ages ago? Think of this challenge as a both homage and reinvention of that challenge!

How To’s and Rules:
🎼There will be no levels to this challenge. Re-reads are allowed and there are no page minimums for this challenge! Do remember that you CAN change your chosen Books at any time during the month to count for the challenge!
🎶 NO DUPLICATING BOOK OR TASK ENTRIES!! Books and Tasks are only to be used/listed/completed once! An example of this would be reading a book published in December 2014 for the "Read a book published in December (any year)" task, and then reading another book, this one published in December 2016, justifying it by saying that the books were published in two separate years. Once you complete the "Read a book published in December (any year)" task, it can't be completed a second time to complete the task.
🎹 Each month, a new artist will be chosen. There will always be a "Fun Fact" task listed, and then the artist's 10 "Greatest Hits" (as chosen by our mods!) will be listed as tasks for you to match your reading to. If you do not like the songs picked, but are still a fan of the artist, there will be a link to the artist's "Songbook" where you can see all songs by that performer and can choose a song to challenge yourself with, or you can choose to do the spell out options!
🎵You can read as many or as few books as you like each month! However, you must keep your original post updated and must also mark books as finished by adding the date finished next to the book listed and either striking them out using the "< s> < /s>" HTML commands (without the spaces) or by copying and pasting a checkmark: ✔ ✓. No date or checkmark will ensure your post doesn't get counted for participation! Be sure to give a shout out in the thread when you're all done! Please do not make a separate post with your finished challenge, edit your original comment! This is so we can keep accurate track of participation. You can make an announcement post like "Finished in comment #2!", so we know where to find your completed challenge to congratulate you! Duplicate posts will be deleted!
📻 Duration will be from January 1st to January 31st, 2020.
📱 Call into DJ Trea by the 14th of each month to request a specific artist! (That means send her a PM if you've got an artist you'd like to see featured!)

Here is January 2020's Artist of the Month: Daughtry

Mod Trea has become a huge fan of the show The Masked Singer over her homeschooling Christmas Break, and on the show's season finale in December, the top three singers identities were revealed. Since she didn't believe that Season Two's winner had produced any albums, she requested that our very first Playlist Challenge feature Runner Up Chris Daughtry and his band of the same name.
