This is the location that you'll need to post your books for the June/July 7% Solution Challenge.

Please take all discussion and/or questions into the other 7% thread, and ONLY post your books here.

Please post the TITLE, AUTHOR, SERIES, PAGE COUNT, BOOKCOVER OF THE CORRECT EDITION, and CATEGORY for which you're reading the book.

Thanks :)

I'm adding the books as we post them to a tab on the main Mango Tango team spreadsheet here and then assigning them on this new Tracking Spreadsheet:

I don't know if any of Sallie's books work for Behind the Lines, but here's what I came up with:

Option #3: Color behind (purple) - if there's enough to count?
Option #5: S (title), D or H (author)

Option #7: 7 letters in author's last name

[Jane]

I am quite sure that Shadow of Night work for Behind Enemy Lines I will just take a wee look around and find a name or two or three. Shadow of Night BEL: Carol from Blast Off Bronze.
I think we might need a moderator vote on that colour, I am not sure there is enough purple

I haven't seen the other two BEL. (but that doesn't mean they are not there)

[Barb]

I snuck around BEL before this started, but I only kept track of the books I thought I might read during this beast, and none of those are on that list.

[Jane]

I completely forgot to add my book because I went BEL. LOL.

Will you remove Athena the Brain from Behind Enemy Lines and Persephone the Phony from colour behind as these two books has been ruled too short.

I am not surprised so it is okay, and they still work for the other challenge I have them Down for.
