Hi everyone,

This is a post to correspond with my Christmas Calendar Countdown. Every day since the 1st December I have been providing a festive treat for my readers and followers, so far including: win an ebook competitions, win a paperback competition, name a character in my current WIP, sneak peek of a new book cover, me reading from my WIP and much more. I hope you have been enjoying them! This post is for Day 13 and behind the door today is a reading challenge for you to get your teeth into throughout 2021. I’ve taken part in a few reading challenges myself and they are really good fun and often force you to try genres and styles and authors you maybe would not have otherwise. I haven’t taken part in one for a few years though, so rather than search the net for a suitable challenge I decided to come up with one of my own. I tried to challenge myself with this, so I hope you like it and if you want to take part, just tag me in any posts you share!

So here is the challenge;

1. A book where the location is paramount
2. A book set in a country you have visited
3. A book set where you live or as close to it as possible
4. A book with a title at least eight words long
5. A play
6. A book whose title is also a song
7. A book aimed at adults where the protagonist is a child
8. A fictional book based on real events
9. A book with a one word title
10. A book where the protagonist is a different ethnicity than you
11. A short story collection
12. A book with a black front cover
13. A book with a dual narrative written in 1st person
14. The first book in a series
15. A book with an illustrated front cover
16. A book about climate change
17. A non-fiction book about a serial killer
18. A post-apocalyptic book
19. A classic you have always meant to read
20. A book you wished you had studied at school
21. A book you have seen the movie adaptation of but have not read the book
22. A book where the main character is an animal
23. A book from your least favourite genre
24. A book from your most favourite genre
25. A book aimed at children which focuses on nature
26. A book from an indie author you have never heard of
27. An award winning book
28. A book where the main character has your dream job
29. A book with the most colourful cover you’ve ever seen
30. A book where the main character has a disability but the story is not about it

I’m quite excited to give this a go! I don’t know what to call it though – any ideas?
