**Idea from Teen Critic**
In this challenge, you will be reading books from a list put together by the people who signed up!

Here's How It Works:

1. When you sign up, pick out five books you want to be included on the list, or pool.
2. Any book works as long as it follows these simple guidelines:
-YA
-No Duplicates
3. At the beginning of May, you will start reading books from the Book Pool. Pick at least one, but there is no limit on the number of books you read.
4. We will have a bit of a competition; the person who reads the most books in the Book Pool will be the champion for that month!

Ok so what you need to do is add five books into the pool that aren't already in the pool. I can add Opal and Origin in for you so those two count for points. Only books that are in this pool count for points towards this challenge

yup! So give me five books that you want to add to the pool. Any book that you read that is in the pool counts for points in this challenge. Books that you read that ARE NOT in the pool don't count for points. I can add Origin and Opal in as two of your books so you get points.
