This challenge is a celebration of the number of the month. There will be no levels and no page requirements, and the idea is to mix and match among the prompts for as many as your books will fit. However, a book may only be used for one prompt at a time, not multiple prompts! Duration will be from October 1st to October 31st, 2020.

Your challenge is to read as many books as you can that correspond to these listed prompts. Your sign up post is the post you should keep updated. DO NOT copy your sign up post to announce you are finished with the challenge! Books listed should also have completion dates to count as participating in the challenge! Here are the prompts:

From the comments I'm reading, it seems like everyone enjoys this challenge. I was actually going to have Phoenix retire it at the end of the year and come out with a new monthly challenge, so I need your opinions, please! Would you like me to have Phoenix keep posting this challenge and scrap the new one? Would you like me to have Phoenix post both this challenge and the new one? Or would you like to just have Phoenix post the new one?

I'm enjoying this challenge as well. What was the new challenge going to be if this was retired?

Another monthly themed one. Instead of the number of the month, it will be the month's symbols.
