This challenge is a celebration of the number of the month. There will be no levels and no page requirements, and the idea is to mix and match among the prompts for as many as your books will fit. However, a book may only be used for one prompt at a time, not multiple prompts! Duration will be from August 1st to August 31st, 2017.

Your challenge is to read as many books as you can that correspond to these listed prompts. Your sign up post is the post you should keep updated. DO NOT copy your sign up post to announce you are finished with the challenge! Books listed should also have completion dates to count as participating in the challenge! If you can come up with additional prompts that fit the theme of the month, let us all know! Here are the prompts:

Attention in the thread!

I've added a new prompt to the list of tasks if you wish to take advantage of it: "A book that you finish on a date that has an 8 in it (8, 18, 28, etc)". I hope that helps when you're working on the challenge this month!
