CHALLENGE COMPLETED !!!

Perks Hello January 2024
This is a monthly challenge starting on 1 January and ending on 31 January and inspired by both the cold season in the Northern hemisphere 🧣🧤🥾🎿🛷🌨️❄️☃️
and the warm season in the Southern hemisphere. 🎉🍧🍾🍸🍹🏖️🌤️
Rules:
✒︎ You may choose how many tasks you’d like to complete. It can be just one set of tasks or both or you can mix and match from both (it can be just 1 book).
✒︎ 1 book can be used to cover a maximum of 3 tasks. (In case you use a book to cover multiple tasks, those tasks must be either from the Northern or from the Southern hemisphere set.)
You can read, of course, a separate book for each task. Up to you.
✒︎ Books must be at least 100 pages long.
✒︎ Any book format may be used: physical, electronic, audio.
✒︎ For audio pages just use the first edition of the book that pops up when you do a search for the book.
✒︎ Books can be fiction or nonfiction.
Have fun. 😉

This is a monthly challenge starting on 1 January and ending on 31 January and inspired by both the cold season in the Northern hemisphere 🧣🧤🥾🎿🛷🌨️❄️☃️
and the warm season in the Southern hemisphere. 🎉🍧🍾🍸🍹🏖️🌤️
Rules:
✒︎ You may choose how many tasks you’d like to complete. It can be just one set of tasks or both or you can mix and match from both (it can be just 1 book).
✒︎ 1 book can be used to cover a maximum of 3 tasks. (In case you use a book to cover multiple tasks, those tasks must be either from the Northern or from the Southern hemisphere set.)
You can read, of course, a separate book for each task. Up to you.
✒︎ Books must be at least 100 pages long.
✒︎ Any book format may be used: physical, electronic, audio.
✒︎ For audio pages just use the first edition of the book that pops up when you do a search for the book.
✒︎ Books can be fiction or nonfiction.
Have fun. 😉
