DHASG Winter Reading Challenge: December 21st, 2023-March 19th, 2024
Description: Let's read some winter-themed books to celebrate this time of year.

Rules:

1. Books must be read between December 21st, 2023 and March 19th, 2024.

3. Post your stats on this thread and update when you are finished.

Plan A:
Create your own winter related phrase and read books that spell out that phrase--using the first letter of the title, the lead character's name or nick name, the author's name, or the series name. You can only use a book one time. Just a few examples:

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Baby It's Cold Outside
Jack Frost Nipping at Your Nose
Cold Feet, Warm Heart

Plan B:
Read books that make you think of winter in some way. It's up to you.

Hey Danielle!

Cool, I miss this group's challenges! So, SPOT!

Question: do all of our books need to be "dangerous hero" related, or can I mix and match from other story types?
