Lea Ann (buntingla) | 765 comments I'm going to take on the Book-a-Day Challenge during my summer break. I highly doubt I'll be able to rise to this challenge without resorting to picture books and graphic novels, but the rules state those are okay. If anyone wants to join me, feel free, or you can just watch my miserable attempt at this.

I am starting this on Friday, May 20, my first day of summer break and I'll run it through Aug. 1.

Karin | 415 comments Lea, I am going to join you on this challenge. It might be the only way to help me read more books on my Kindle. I am going to start my book a day challenge on May 31st and run it until August 19th. That time frame is the start and end of summer session classes at UMCP. I will have a delay in updating what book read at the beginning as I am going on vacation.

this is an awesome challenge. I will have to dig out some of my short stories


message 7: by Lea Ann (new)

Lea Ann (buntingla) | 765 comments I had to resort to a graphic novel today because there was no way I was going to finish the novel I picked up.

Good luck! I've had to pull some picture books off the shelf!


message 11: by Lea Ann (new)

Lea Ann (buntingla) | 765 comments This is kind of crazy.


message 12: by Karin (new)

I need to work on reading books off my 12+2 list, so I can kill two birds with one stone! lol


message 14: by Lea Ann (new)

I feel like you could have easily done this one, Melissa, with as many books as you read.


message 21: by Lea Ann (new)

message 22: by Karin (last edited Jul 20, 2016 05:08PM) (new)

Karin | 415 comments I feel bad that I cannot seem to keep up with this challenge anymore. I can only manage to finish a book every few days. I seem only to focus on larger books I need to read from my 12 + 2 list. I have updated what days I have read.


message 23: by Lea Ann (new)

Lea Ann (buntingla) | 765 comments It's hard. I've had to resort to many picture books!
