I’m joining the Gentle Spectrums challenge for the 6th year and making my goal one book in each category. Any books read after that until the end of the year will be a bonus. I’m trying to decrease my stress and still have fun, so a new plan sounds great. This challenge has the following categories for 2019. Thanks to Carolyn for hosting!
(1) LIMITLESS PALETTE ~ COLOURS!
Since they may repeat, please choose actual colours; i.e. not “cinnamon” or “midnight”. Include: colourful, colour, bright, light, iridescent, iridescence, dark, shade, hue, spectrum, rainbow, prism.
(2) CANADIAN
Books by or about Canadians / Canada and closely-associated attributes. Books set here work great.
(3) CONTINENTS
A new one! Choose titles that mention continents, any books in or from continents other than yours, atlases, geography other than your continent.
(4) FASHION AND DECOR
We needn’t stop at clothing. Include titles containing words that go with fashion or home decor and books about these things as well!
(5) EDUCATIONAL
A new one! We could call all literature informative. Look for words associated with education. Or they can be instructional, whatever their titles: manuals, school readers….
(6) HOPE AND TRIUMPH!
A new one: with our kitty in mind, whom we pray is returned home to us this year! Titles or prominent contents: it is up to you.
(7) ANIMALS
I always include birds, fish, and insects. In the title, or books prominently about them.
(8) NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
Title associations, or books prominently featuring natural environments.
(9) THE ARTS
Fine arts, photography, music, film-making, poetry. Key words in titles, or books about these.
(10) TOYS OR HOBBIES
One could call nearly anything a hobby. Let’s make these well-established toys or hobbies, in title or content.
(11) HEALTHFULNESS!
Happy feelings, drink, food, exercise, medicine, energy: you decide!
