April 2024 Keyword Reading Challenge

APRIL 2024 KEYWORDS

darling, funny, familiar, somewhere, list, meet, never, word

This challenge was created in 2013 by Kim of @chapter_adventure and Tanya of Girlxoxo.com.  Find more challenges at https://www.chapteradventure.com/  

Your task is simple. Read a book each month with one of the keywords in the title. "Bonus points" if you find a title that has more than one of the month's keywords.

We love this challenge because it's easy to find books to fulfill the monthly keyword requirement and we can create wonderfully eclectic booklists!  You are sure to read out of your comfort zone if you conquer this task each month

Get started with our librarian-curated list of books where you'll find both nonfiction and novels as well as new bestsellers and older well-reviewed books. No worries if you don't like our suggestions. Simply use one of the keywords to find matching titles in the BCCLS catalog or the new BCCLS catalog (in testing right now!)
