DHASG December Challenge

Introduction: It's the last month of the year. 2017 is almost at an end. Here's to a year of reading and book challenging. Thank you so much for participating in our monthly challenges on the group. Happy Holidays and let's hope you have an excellent December in all ways!

Rules:


1. Any DHASG member can participate in the challenge.
2. Books must be read between December 1st and December 30th.
3. A book may only be used once in the challenge.
4. Please sign up and list your stats or link to the completed stats listing when you finish the challenge.
5. In your stats, include book title, author, date read, and how it represents the specific part of the challenge.
6. Enjoy and happy reading!

Levels:

1. Twelfth Night: Read 10-12 books.
2. Auld Lang Syne: Read 5-9 books.
3. Winter Solstice: Read 3-4 books.

Categories:

1. The Long and the Short of It: December is one of the longer months, but it has the shortest day of the year, the Winter Solstice. Read a book that is over 500 pages but has a one world title with twelve or less letters.
2. What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?: Read a book where the lead character has a date on or at the end of the year (New Year's Eve, December 31st). New Year's Eve must be a part of the storyline.
3.Naughty List: Read a book with a lead character who would be on Santa's Naughty List.
4.Make Up Your Mind: December 31st is also Make Up Your Mind Day. Read a book where a prominent character has a tough decision to make as part of the storyline.
5.Snow Day: In many states and parts of the world, it will snow at least once or twice in December. Read a book where there is a snow scene of some kind or it snows at at least one point in the story.
6.Christmas Radio: Tis the Season for Christmas/Holiday music. Read a book that sounds like or is an actual holiday or Christmas song title.
7.B-I-N-G-O!: December is Bingo Month. Let's play Bingo. Spell Bingo in a combination of the following ways: 1. First letter of first or last name of author, 2. One or more first letters of the book title, 3. First letter of first or last name of one or more characters in the book. 4. First letter of series title name. 5. First letter of the genre of fiction. One book must achieve all these. 6. First Letter of the City, State or Country (location) the book is set in.
8.All Things Snow White: Since snow is a motif of December, and includes Eat a Red Apple Day, let's celebrate the fairy tale, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Read a book that brings to mind an aspect of the Snow White fairy tale. You could even read a Snow White retelling.
9.Unlucky Day December 31st is Unlucky Day, which is self explanatory. Read a book where the character is having a very bad turn of luck.
10.Optimist's Day: December 21st is Look on the Bright Side Day. Let's celebrate optimism by reading a book where the lead character tends to look on the bright side.
11.52: There are 52 cards in a deck of cards. Hence 52. December 28th is Card Playing Day. Read a book where playing cards is part of the storyline, or a character has a name that sounds like one of the cards in deck, such as Knight, Jack, Queen, King, Spade, or a number's card. You could even read a book that has a number in the title from 1-9. Or a book that brings to mind a popular card game.
12.My Holiday Wish List: What's on your holiday wish list? Read a book that features something that is commonly found on a person's gift wish list. This can be literal or metaphorical.

I think 5212 is just a typing error 🤔

Sorry about the big glaring error. I omitted the > sign from 11, so it omitted all of #11. It's corrected now!
