February 1, 2015 – February 1, 2016
I love matching books to creative themes; like a scavenger hunt at home! Some challenges particularly this year have such finely-tuned criteria; what we can include is narrow. I thought about the kind of mixing & matching I would enjoy and last year, created “Gentle Spectrums”.
I forever appreciate the first members of my trio: “Gentle Spectrums”, “My Kind Of Mystery”,
and “Ethereal”. You have my thanks.I present broad themes, so a great deal more titles fit. It is also important to me that if we surpass a minimum quantity, those have somewhere to go. For our grande finale, a point system rewards everyone who keeps on reading & reviewing. From the moment you sign-up, all Gentle Spectrums prize activities from February 2015 to February 2016, are for you! RIEDEL Fascination prizes are for all members internationally. It’s especially nice that your matieral for my categories may belong to any genre under the sun.
I think of you as guests in my parlour. If you are keen on (A) or (B): here we go! :) If you decide on both; your first sign-up suffices. Surprise me with a comment that you’re doing more. Since my games are separate: if a book fits them both, go ahead and use it dually!
- SIGN-UP -
