A Novel Challenge: 2014 Gentle Spectrums Reading Challenge

February 1, 2014 – February 28, 2015

Welcome to the launch of a brand new reading theme!
I was excited to find ’challenges’ in summer 2012. These wonderful circles are a scavenger hunt for what we’re already reading. My principal goal is always to whittle through books I own and flexible groups make that fun. For the first time, I lay down my gauntlet and create an outlet with a twist!
You are invited to choose one of my themes below. :)
* Watch for on-the-spot activities throughout the year!
What is “Spectrum Spotlight”?
(1) Post about your goal
wherever you have a website, with a referral to this page.
(2) Enter your post’s URL, your name,
and the activity you picked with the button below.
(3) Review each book you read,
just to get an URL from Goodreads, Book Depository… One line is fine.
When you see a review page available, enter your reviews into that ‘linky’ button.
(A) LIMITLESS PALLET

Share any 10 books entitled with a colour.
You may repeat the colour spectrums; even exact hues.
A different book title is a different book title!
Funky lipstick or paint shades might be a stretch.
Well-established hues are at your leisure: maroon, jade, emerald…
(B) GENTLE SUBJECTS

Fit one book title into each category.
Here are abundant subjects to peruse together!
(1) PLANTS
trees, flowers, grass, gardening & crop-sowing references.
(2) STRUCTURES
a building, rooms, a room or building’s parts.
(3) NATIONS
a culture, location ~ lakes, towns, famous spots.
(4) STONES
synonyms, gems, ruins, geological formations.
(5) FAMILIES
types of relatives, last names, full names.
(6) QUINTUPLED
a title of 5+ words (articles are fine).
(7) CHEESY
lame puns or quotations, actual cheeses.
(8) ENCHANTING
mystical, eerie (content fulfills title; no debunked ending).
(9) WEATHER
any words approximating weather or seasons.
(10) CHEERFUL
positive messages, conveys pleasant images.
Catch your breath: we launch February 1^st, 2014 – February 28^th, 2015!
