2021 Literary Escapes Challenge by dollycas

 Here's another reading challenge for 2021.  Read a book set in each state.  See if you can read through the US in 2021.

Want a wider challenge?  Add different countries to your reading repertoire. See how far around the world you can "go" in 2021.

Any genre.


It's Walt Disney Day

It's officially Walt Disney Day even though his birthday was Dec 5.  Fortunately, there are plenty of Disney options to help you celebrate.  

What's your favorite Disney movie?  I actually prefer Pixar movies to cartoon animation but real people are the best.

This time of year, my favorite Disney movie is The Santa Clause.

It's National Microwave Oven Day

It's amazing how dependent I've become on my microwave.  It's hard to believe there was once a time when we didn't have one.  Many of you probably can't believe that but it's true.  I remember, in the early years of my marriage, there were no microwave ovens.

It's National Blue Jeans Day

Used to be we only had casual Fridays but now everyday working remotely is jeans day.

It's also Walt Disney's birthday.  Lots of movie choices there that will appeal to the whole family.

 Sign up for the 2021 Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge that escapewithdollycas.com is putting on!

Follow the link for the rules and a link to the sign-up doc.  There's also a Facebook page for the challenge.

Dolly's post (from 11/28/2020) says:

You can join anytime.

Read books between 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2021 with titles that begin with each letter of the alphabet.

Drop the "A" and "The" from titles.  The letter that counts is the first main word of the title.

For Q, X, and Z, that letter needs to be somewhere in the title.

How much fun will this be for those of us who are bookworms?

Let's share what we're reading next year!
