**A Note from Kim**:
In 2013 I also started the Monthly Motif Reading Challenge on Bookmark to Blog. I brought it with me to Girlxoxo.com in 2015. Just in case anyone is interested in participating in this challenge too.
2021 Monthly Motif Challenge - https://www.girlxoxo.com/2021-monthly... or in the Goodreads group - GXO Reading Challenges.

*Each book may only be used for one task or letter
*To count a book towards a challenge you must read the majority of it after the start date of the challenge.
* Where more than one option is given for a task, please state which option your book relates to.
*If the task relates to the cover of your book, please post the cover AND the book link.
*All genres and formats are fine.
*Re-reads are allowed.
*No page minimum.
*Please update your original post as you go.
*When you have finished, please re-post your whole challenge as a new message and MARK AS FINISHED or you will not be considered to have completed the challenge and we will not be able to award your Hall of Fame badge
