Last July I took part in a month long challenge where I had to daily share one book (one I had read) that best fit into a specific category. For example: Day 1: Favorite Book, Day 16: Longest Book you’ve Read.
This week, instead of my usual posts, I will be updating the my choices for the 30 Day Book Challenge, since some are just not as applicable as they were last year. (I will exclude the book I just finished reading and book am currently reading challenges, since that feels silly to do after creating my new page: The List.)
I apologize to everyone wanting to see a Quote of the Week, Artist’s Corner, Visual Artwork, and/or FFR this week. I will continue that normal schedule next week. Ultimately, I think the “challenges” are fun side projects to continue updating every year—-In other words, expect to see a FFB 30 Day Movie Challenge Redux sometime in October too 🙂
The updates will be as follows:
(Monday) Day 2: Least favorite book
(Tuesday) Day 17: Shortest book you’ve read
(Wednesday) Day 20: Book you keep thinking about
(Thursday) Day 21: Favorite picture book from childhood
(Friday) Day 30: Favorite coffee table book

Day 1: Favorite book (Moby-Dick)
