September’s Adult Reading Challenge “Clues”





It is hard to believe there are only 3 months left for this year’s challenge.  There are only 6 more clues to be released.  If you have just joined us, welcome and if you are a regular to our Reading Challenge, thank you for playing our game. Don’t forget to join us, if you can for the Portals Reading Group in the Community Room on Thursday, September 3, 2015 from 12:00 till 2:00 pm. We’d love for you to join us because the more the merrier when discussing books.
The clues for this month are:
Banned Book Banned Book week is September 27th-October 3rd. Help us celebrate the freedom to read by choosing any book that has been banned for any reason.
Pirates On September 18th the library will celebrate all things piratical during our all day Piratical Pursuits Family Day. There will be programs for all ages, games, photo ops, and snacks. Get in the mood by reading a book that features a pirate and then come party with us on the 18th.
Big Apple Read any book set in New York City.
September Author Read any book by an author who celebrates their birthday this month. Some suggestions to get you started are Agatha Christie, Stephen King, Fannie Flagg, or F. Scott Fitzgerald.
The released clues for this month are:
Non-Fiction Read any non-fiction book. Must be catalogued with a Dewey Decimal number to qualify.
Classic Read any book considered to be a “classic”. One definition of classic is a book that expresses some artistic quality and stands the test of time. Most of us have at least one on our personal TBR List. For some suggestions check out:  http://pigfish.hubpages.com/hub/List-of-Classic-Books-to-Read-Before-You-Die  or http://www.listchallenges.com/100-classic-books-challenge. If you just don’t know if the book you want to read will count, ask us. We love to talk books.

Happy Reading!
