Remember you didn’t need to sign up for this challenge you can just join in as you see you have five connections.
When you have five that connect in whatever way you are able to group them then link up. How might you do this? One of these ways is good.
- Write and link up a blog post
- Share the five books on Instagram and link up
- Have a Goodreads shelf and link that up – this may be a little different but maybe use it in combination with a comment would be helpful.
- Or… if you belong to none of these places, share five books in a comment.
What’s the Challenge?
To look for connections between books you read. There will be many connections that just float over our awareness. Let’s see can we raise that a bit, whether its fairly surface level or something deeper.
If you need some guidelines for this then see the original post. Connect Five Books.
Remember:
- A book can only be used once for this challenge in the year.
- The books must be read in 2019.
- Books can be carried over until you have five of something. It may take a few months to gather five of something.
- You may have many connections of five to link up . So if you have two groups of five then you can link up twice and so on within a month.
- You may just link one group of five during the year, or many each month. It depends on how many connections you come across!
- Use the hashtag #connect5books2019 if sharing on social media.
When?
Every second month I will post a link up on the last Wednesday of the month. This one will finish on the last Wednesday of October.

Congratulations, Nicole! Thank you for another fun pair of months; truly my highlight during a hard spring and summer, Kathryn! If curious, my review for the fastest book I have ever received and read – the same day – is here!
Prayers for safety: to people, animals, and homes off the American eastern coast and possibly our Canadian coast of Nova Scotia, hoping to avoid oceanic storms. Sincerely, Carolyn. https://www.amazon.ca/review/R1MZ8SM6L8ZLGT/ref=cm_rv_eml_rv0_rv
