November 2023 Mini Challenge – GIVING THANKS
Begins: 01Nov23 / Ends: 30Nov23

.

In the USA we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving this month. One of my family’s traditions is to go around the table and say what we are thankful for, so that is the inspiration for this month’s challenge.


* Family – Read a book that revolves around family relationships (If not clear from the book description, please briefly explain how your book fits.)

* Love – Read a book with a main page genre of Romance.

* Health - Read a book with a speaking character who is a doctor or nurse. (Tell us the name of the character and his/her role.)

* Shelter - Read a book whose title begins with a letter in: H O U S E (Ignore: A, An, The)

* Sustenance - Read a book with food on the cover. Post the cover image. (NOTE: the food should be ready to eat; so a piece of raw fruit is fine, but a box of cake mix is not.)




===========================================


RULES OF THE CHALLENGE

All books used must be a minimum of 100 pages long - Page length determined by HARDCOVER 1st edition. If there is no Hardcover, then the most popular paperback governs page #.

You may read in any format - text, audio or e-book.

You MUST finish the book before you can claim credit for completing a task.

A book may be used for only one task, even if it would satisfy the challenge for multiple tasks.
