3. If she threw a party, she would have people dress as their favorite author. - Read a book by your favorite author

4. She got carried away naming her 3 favorite authors; she named 4! - What do YOU get "carried away" by?

5. Melissa used to watch NASCAR racing - Read a book with a car on cover


---------------------------------------------------------

Rules of the challenge
Books must be at least 100 pages in length
Re-reads are fine, as long as you actually read the entire book
Book should be finished within the time-frame of the challenge.
Any format ("dead tree," e-book, audio...) is fine.

As always, have fun!
