BW43: Prime Time Reading Fun

Courtesy of Licor43


It's time for a bit of Prime Time Reading Fun as we begin week 43 of our Adventurous Prime Reading year.  Since 43 is a prime number, let's play. 


  • Find a book with forty three in the title. 
  • Create an anagram from forty-three and read a book with the word in the title.
  • Read book #43 in your bookshelves counting from the left.
  • Read a book set in 1643, 1743, 1843, or 1943.
  • Read a book about a person born in 1943
  • Read a book set in or about Idaho, 43rd state.
  • Read a book about 43rd president
  • Read a book in Dewey Decimal category within 300 or 400 and in  the subsection .43 
  • Read a book set in the country by the scientists who discovered Technetium - Element 43 on the periodic table. 
  • Read a book set in the 43rd city and/or state in any country. 
  • Austria country code 43 allows you  to call Austria from another country so read a book set in Austria or written by an Austrian Author.
  • Go to your current read, find page 43. Count down to line 4, then left to the 3rd word.  Read a book with that word in the title or a book about that word.
  • Count the letters in your name. Did you end up with a prime number?  Read a book with a character with the same name as you. 
  • Are you 43?  Read a book published in your birth year. 
  • 4 + 3 = 7.  4 x 3 = 12.  7 + 12 = 19.  12 - 7 = 5.  4 - 3 = 1.  Plug in any of the resulting prime numbers instead of 43 to the above quests and have fun following rabbit trails.
Kudos to whoever can match it up with a spooktacular read!

BW35: Random Prime Number reading mini challenge

Courtesy of Uhedron


It's time for a Random Prime Number Reading mini challenge.  We are more than halfway through the year and even though this isn't a prime number week, it is the 5th week of the month.  Pick a random prime number, either out of a hat, have a family member choose a number, or use the Random prime number generator.  Find a book with the random number in the title on your shelves, through the library, or support your local indie bookstore and read it.   The number in the title may be in numbers or letters.

Using the generator, my pick is 19 which resulted in some interesting finds.










I've added Department 19 to my stacks and enjoying it so far.
