November's Adult Reading Challenge "Clues"



While we love the feeling of accomplishment that comes from completing a major project, we are a little sad to see the end of this year's Adult Reading Challenge. We met new people and had some wonderful conversations about books. Some of the players have read a book for every clue and are just waiting for the last two clues to be released. While others are reading only what appeals to them. Either option is okay, that's why we make it with different levels. Having said that, you can now turn in logs if you are ready to be done. We will be checking to make sure which level you completed and then entering your name in the correct box for the prize drawings. At the bottom of this blog are posted the days and hours we are scheduled to be in the library. If you can't get by during our posted hours please call 256-353-2993 ext. 125 or email StephRhonda@decatur.lib.al.us and we will try to set up a time to meet you. You can also drop off your log anytime you are in the library and we will get back to you once we have entered you in the drawing. The last day to turn in logs will be Thursday, December 3, 2015 at the last Portals Meeting in the Community Room from 12:00-2:00 pm.
Thanks so much for you participation.

November posted "clues" are:
Foodie- Book must be centered on food or chefs/cooks.

Winter Holiday-Book must have one of the winter holidays in it (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, Diwali, or Chinese New Year).

Vampires-Book must contain a vampire.

November Author-Book must be written by an author born in the month of November. Neil Gaiman, Mark Twain, Lee Smith, and Rita Mae Brown were born this month.

The last two released clues are:

December Author- Book must be written by an author born in the month of December. A few examples are Catherine Coulter, David Sedaris, Arthur C. Clarke, and Jane Austen.

The last clue is found on the map of the library and is the Isthmus of Inspiration. Any book with the inspirational sticker on the spine will work for this clue.

Happy Reading!
