The Lost Challenges discussion

For each month of the year we have listed 5 weird and wacky celebrations with reading tasks to go with them. Read one book for each task.

Duration: One year from your start date

Level 1: 1-2 tasks per month
Level 2: 3-4 tasks per month
Level 3: 5 tasks per month.

Option one - Easy - choose your level and read the required number of books in any order.

Option two - Hard - choose your level and read the required number of books in order (i.e January tasks should be read in January, February tasks in February etc.)
NB: You do not need to read the months tasks in the order they are listed. As long as you do all that months tasks at some point within the month.(i.e you don't need to start January with 'Polar Bear Plunge', you could start with 'National Hug Day' or whichever order you want)

RULES

*To count a book towards a challenge you must read the majority of it after the start date of the challenge.
*Each book may only be used for one task
*For each book that you read please post a link to the book, the author and the date you finished it.
