Duration: 1st October – 31st October
Number of books: 10
Hosted by: Crazy Challenge Connection
October is National Pizza Month! So let’s build our pizzas to enjoy while we read.
This challenge is slightly different than our usual monthly format. You may choose 6-10 tasks, depending how hungry you are. 🙂 One of your tasks must be for CRUST and one of your tasks must be for SAUCE. After that choose as many toppings as you desire! If you would like “extra” on any topping, you may choose to complete both options within one task. i.e. Extra Pepperoni – you would read a book that takes place in Italy AND a book that has a spicy character.
You must specify your pizza size and build (crust/sauce/toppings) before starting!!
