I am a few days late on posting this challenge, so lets get to it!
I am making one slight change to the challenge as I’ve gotten a few messages about the book list for the mini challenge. Instead of choosing ALL the books you read for this challenge from the Rory Gilmore Reading List, I am now allowing you to choose 3 books that are not on the Rory Gilmore Reading List, and adding one additional task.
There will now be a total of 6 tasks in the mini challenge
3 books must come from the Rory Gilmore Reading List (either revival or original series)
3 books can come from wherever you choose
When you’ve completed a task be sure to make a new post in this thread with your competed entry.
——> Example: Sept 1, completed task one, Great Gatsby
Be sure to use the Rory Gilmore reading list that can be found in the “How It Works” thread from Black, White and Read Books blog, and you can also use the list of books featured in the revival which can also be found in the How it Works thread. I’ll try to keep up to date with a score board and post the winner at the end of the challenge!
