It’s Halloween month and we thought let’s combine that with our love for reading and voila! Here we are!
In this challenge, all you need to do is read books that fit the prompts of a particular candy and then that candy is yours to collect in your jar. At the end of the challenge, whoever has most candies, is the winner! Additionally, you could be alert for any extra candies you can grab by being on the lookout for the words “candy” or “chocolate” in the book you read. Because every time they are mentioned in your book, you have the chance to score extra!
Also, we’d wish for you to be able to taste as many candies as possible so, you cannot use the same prompt more than 2 times.
Candies up for grabs: (under spoiler)
