I've enjoyed so many other people's reading challenges that I've been playing around with one of my own. I like challenges that trigger the imagination and are non-prescriptive. If you think it fits the prompt - it does! So your #woolgathering book might be about a daydreamer, or about boredom leading to productivity, or maybe it's a shearer romance, or a how-to on spinning your own yarn. I generated a bunch of 4 syllable words - and here we are.
Lauredhel Also, whatthehell, if people decide to join in i will send a little prize to a random finisher who tags me. It might be very little if you are outside Australia - shipping is terrible!- but you will get something if you are chosen. (edited) 4y
VeganCleopatra I'm intrigued! Does 21 mean next year? And are you planning on people reading one book per word and each section over three months? (That's how I've seen other setups.) 4y
Lauredhel @VeganCleopatra yes, it's 2021 (and I'll post it closer to the time!). In the spirit of non prescriptivity, a seasonal setup is doable but optional. So it's sixteen books total. (How you define "book" is up to you, too.) 4y

Lcsmcat Cool idea! Sounds like fun. 4y
Lauredhel @4thhouseontheleft lol yes, I'm just choosing to believe that 2021 will come, by force of will! 4y
Lauredhel @Lcsmcat look out for a post at the end of December, may we all make it that far. 4y
Clare-Dragonfly Very interesting words! I will have to keep this challenge in mind. 4y
Lauredhel @Clare-Dragonfly I keep coming up with new interpretations for each one! Will post more ideas once we start, and I'm looking forward to other people's takes. 4y
