March Themes

Here are the themes for the MAD Book Challenge this March:

  1. (Mar. 2-Mar.8) Vampire Novel
    Defined as a novel where, if the vampires were removed from the plot, it would no longer make sense. Bonus Points for all you creative people who don't read Twilight.
  2. (Mar.9-Mar.15) Movie Book
    Meaning a book that has a movie based off of it (not the other way around). Bonus Points if you read the book first and then watch the movie (only applicable if you have not watched the movie before.)
  3. (Mar.16-Mar.22) Horror
    No debating this one: you must be able to find it in the horror section of a library. Bonus Points if you read all of it during the nighttime (I'm choosing to define this is after nine o'clock).
  4. (Mar. 23-Mar.29) Title Contains Food
    Means exactly what it sounds like. Examples include "Just Desserts" by Mary Daheim and "Just Plain Pickled to Death" by Tamar Myers. (In other words, names of meals and food words used to mean other things--in this case, 'pickled'--work as well). Bonus Points, however, if you read one with an actual food item in the title--an example would be "War and Peas" by Jill Churchill.

By March 29th you're due to have 12 books read (assuming you started the Challenge with us at the beginning of the year). If not, welcome to the Challenge--and for everybody, Good Luck!

Happy reading!
