I know, you would think I came up with this theme all on my own - but it was actually a suggestion from the theme poll I ran late last year. It's very on-brand for Wendy, so of course I thought it was a great suggestion! You can define "unusual" how you see fit, but here at the Bat Cave "the Royal We" like to focus mainly on setting, time period, and/or occupation.
That being said, remember that the themes are completely optional. Maybe you don't read historicals? Maybe you've hit a rough patch and your comfort reading of choice are Regency historicals featuring Duke heroes? It's OK! Remember the goal of the challenge has been, and always will be, to read something (anything!) that's been languishing in your mountain range of unread books.
It's never too late to join the Challenge! To learn more about it and to see a list of folks participating head on over to the information page .
