1. 'A' is for August: Read a book that starts with 'A' or a book whose author's first or last name starts with 'A'

2. Member of the Month - Katharina: Katharina has been a member of the RRRC since December 2010. Here is the link to Katharina's shelves. Please read a book from any of Katharina's shelves, a book published in 2010 or a book published in December of any year.

3. Geography - Sweden: Read a book whose author, character or setting is from Sweden.

Fun Facts about Sweden:
