Summer Reading Challenge ~ Number Two (Optional Theme Provided)

[Kate]

It seems that most of you liked the first summer reading challenge (which is still going on), so hopefully you like this one!

This challenge is a lot like the first challenge. However, there are a few alterations.

Time: 2 weeks (June 16-June 30)
Partners: optional (which means you may pick your own books if you would like)
Goal: 1-10 books (your choice)

And . . .

Suggested Themes: Read Free Books! OR Mythology

(You don't need to choose a theme to be a part of the challenge. However, it may be more fun to have one to go by.)

Read Free Books!
Read any book that you have received for free. Most of those will come in one of three ways:
-Free on Amazon or Barnes&Noble
-Received for giveaway
-Gifted directly by an author

**This is the theme I'll be participating in because I signed up for a few Read and Reviews yesterday, and I have received a few ebooks from authors on Goodreads. This challenge will help me get through them.

Mythology
Read books to submit for the Mythology Themed Challenge.

This challenge will begin on June 16. If you would like to participate, please post your reading goal and whether or not you'll be participating in a theme. Also, if you want a partner to choose your books, please request one and post a list of books for he or she to pick from.

Have fun!

Me:
Goal: not sure yet
Theme Read Free Books!
My Want-to-Read list:

@Hannelore It's awesome. That story is something. And the whole idea of creating A Shade was so innovative. And yes I genuinely adored Derek Novak and the relationship between him and Sofia.
