Trisha | 30284 comments Hello!!

I'm helping Jacquelyn this month with the Book Pool Challenge.

If you've never played, here are the rules:

Directions:

1. When you sign up pick 3 books you want to be included in the "book pool."

2. You can pick any book as long as they are YA. Please no duplicates.

3. Once the challenge starts you will read books from the "pool."

4. At the end of the month whoever read the most books from the pool is the champion of that month!

Have fun!

Challenge Begins August 1st.
To claim points, please don't start your books from the pool until then!

You can sign up and add books until July 31st. After that, you can join in anytime (just without adding books)

You can't count them unless you reread them during the month.

No. It won't count. Books need to be started and finished during the month of the challenge.
