Thanks so much to Kim & Tanya of Girlxoxo.com for this awesome challenge. Read a book a month for a year. Each month has its own theme to choose a book from.

JANUARY - "Winter Wonderland"
- Set in a truly wonderful place - somewhere beautiful, somewhere with a rich culture, or even a magical realm.

FEBRUARY - "Seeing Red"
- The word 'red' in the title OR a red cover. Bonus if it has both.

MARCH - "Sub-Genre Sound Off"
- A sub-genre of your favorite genre (Romance=YA Romance, Contemporary Romance, Historical Romance, Romantic Suspense, ETC.)

APRIL - "Classics or Currents"
-Published before the year you were born OR within the last year (April '19-now.)

MAY - "Author Introduction"
- Author you've never read anything by.

JUNE - "Name or Number"
- A name or a number in the title. Bonus if there are both.

JULY - "Around OR Out of this World"
- Set in a country other than the one you live in OR written by an author who is from a country other than your own OR read a book that takes place in space or another planet.

AUGUST - "Creature Feature"
-A creature of some kind on the cover or in the story. (Cat, dog, dragon, werewolf, ETC.)

SEPTEMBER - "When Text Just Isn't Enough"
- A book that includes more than just text. A map, family tree, illustrations, letters, etc.

OCTOBER - "Thrills and Chills"
- Ghost stories, haunted houses, true crime, murder mystery, a thriller keeping you on the edge of your seat.

NOVEMBER - "Dynamic Duos"
- A books with a couple of characters that make the perfect pair whether in business or in love. (Ex. Sherlock & Holmes, Elizabeth & Darcy)

DECEMBER - "Sugar, Spic and Everything Nice"
