Atomic Tangerine's August Challenge

Between the team, we will read:

7 books, one set on each continent
15 books to spell ATOMIC TANGERINE
6 books which are number 6 in the series, have 'six' in the title or series, six letters or words in the title/series/authors/combination as August was the sixth month of the Roman Calendar until it was named after Caesar Augustus.

The remaining 47 books to reach 75 should be spread between the following categories with at least one in each category:

- Books read by other team mates since January 2013
- Books read by people in other teams since the challenge started
- Books featuring different forms of transport on the cover or as a main part of the story
- Summer tales (set mostly in the summer or with either 'summer' or 'sun' in the title)
- Books set in Ancient times as August was a busy month in ancient history, for example, Mount Vesuvius erupted in August 79 AD, the last day of Roman Civilisation was in August,
- Books which inspire you as several inspirational people were born or died in August and famous speeches were made (for example MLK gave his speech in August and Elvis and Marilyn Monroe died in August)
- Crime books as The Great Train Robbery occurred in August.

I read Under the Cajun Moon by Mindy Starns Clark.

This book could work for several categories
Transportation - scenes in boats on the bayou were a major part of the book
Summer - it was set in the summer
Crime - this was a mystery
Spell - M from author's name
