Happy Birthday PBTSue's Birthday Candles
🎂 1. Read a book that fits our very first tag: historical fiction. Note that our very first tagger was MOM2RUDY who is now a published author, W.J. Small (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...).
🎂 2. PBT was founded in February, 2008. Read a book that represents or relates to any event that occurred (or occurs) in February.
Things that Happened in February
-Valentines Day, Lincoln and Washington bdays, Groundhog Day
-Space Shuttle blew up 2003
-15th 16th amendments were ratified-voting rights, income taxes
-Bdays-- Babe Ruth, Charles Dickens, Thomas Edison, Darwin,
-Mandela released from prison
-Malcolm X killed
-Communist Manifesto published
https://holidayinsights.com/history/h...
🎂 3. Read a 5 star book from any of our administrators (past or present) "read" shelf. Administrators include: Ladyslott, LibraryCin, Annapi, JoLene, BooknBlues, Nicole R, Kristal and Anita.
Ladyslott: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
JoLene: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
Kristal: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
Nicole R: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
🎂 4. We have been compiling the PBT Top 10 list since our inception. Read a book from any of our 15 years of Top 10 selections.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...
🎂 5. Read a book that fits the tag of India. Read in December, 2013, it represents our least read tag (excluding administrator special tags).
🎂 6. Surprisingly, our favorite tag as measured by books read in one month was read way back in 2008. Read a book that fits the tag of mystery.
🎂 7. When PBT was 7 years old, we compiled our own top 100 non-fiction books of all time. Read one to blow out this candle.
https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
🎂 8. When PBT was 8 years old, we compiled our own top 100 fictional books of all time. Read one to blow out this candle.
https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
🎂 9. In 2016, we were forced to make the move from Shelfari to Goodreads. Read a book that fits EITHER the last tag we read at Shelfari (2010) or the first tag we read at Goodreads (world war ii).
🎂 10. Our most prolific poster (in the Goodreads era) is Amy (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1...). Amy has posted more than anyone (including the administrators!) with 9301 comments as of this writing. Read a book in Amy's honor that somehow relates to her (either it is on her shelf, or highlights something you know about her personally, or her geography, or her profession). Indicate how you selected the book with your review.
Info about Amy
But hey.... If anyone doesn't want to read about WWII, and historical fiction, or my favorite authors, or psychology, or spirituality, or Judaism, or theater, or singing, or NYC, or Aspen, or skiing, hey - (paying attention Meli?) There is always WITCHES!!!! As an homage to my Boston home (Red Sox, or Patriots anyone?), there is always Salem and WITCHES..... Just for a few ideas. Anything with mothering, parenting, or sons would work too. Even dogs. I'm sure you guys could get creative. I do have some favorite books and authors of all time..... Obviously, I have a deep love for Alice Hoffman and Jodi Piccoult. I also love Elinor Lipman, Fredrik Backman, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Ron Balson, and Kate Quinn. I'm lately falling in love with others including Stephanie Marie Thorton. There are also some books that are on my Top Ten for Life.
🎂 11. Read a book that was a buddy read here on PBT that you have not read before. Link to the buddy read thread along with your review.
🎂 12. Fall Flurries and Trim the TBR have been staples for PBT for a very long time! Select a book that has been read for either of these PBT stalwarts that is shelved on our PBT bookshelf found here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
🎂 13. When PBT was one year old (in its infancy still), we played a game called "Last Tagger Standing", and it was modeled on the famous television show, Survivor. Read a book that is tagged with survival or survivor.
🎂 14. Read a book from your favorite tag of all the tags you've personally read with PBT. Book to Screen
🎂 15. PBT is 15 years old! Read a book that was published the year YOU turned 15. 1980
