🖤 Mono Reading Challenge #BTS

25 participants, 41 books

Overview

It's okay to shed the tears, but don't you tear yourself.

Based on the songs from BTS Kim Namjoon's EP titled mono., which was preceded by the mixtape RM. Honoring the duality that runs through the record, each prompt presents three pairs of keywords. You can consider them as one single prompt or divide them into three or even six books. Given the extreme cohesion of the album, the tracks, except for moonchild, can also be grouped in pairs, and all seven of them together feel like a continuous long song. Therefore, it's only natural that one book may count for more than one song. Also note the keywords can be interpreted in many ways, e.g., "angst" is related to any genre, from romances to biographies.

Readers can use this challenge to tackle their TBR whenever and how many times they want (waiting for Storygraph to add a recurring challenge feature). For the same reason, there's no time limit.

For a good commentary on the lyrics, I recommend the site Muish Ramblings.

I'm also hosting challenges for: Indigo, RPWP, Jack In The Box, Everything Everywhere All at Once, mystery/horror, fantasy tropes, Dark Academia, Brazilian Lit, Kafka's works, epic poems, poetry collections, anthologies, audiobooks, big books, standalones, book chains and book covers.
