Hi Everyone!

It's almost time to roll for your July task! Please roll your dice between June 25th and July 5th for July. I am posting a little early because I may not be near a computer on the 25th. I will post a reminder on that date from my phone :)

Good luck!!

If you forget to roll between that time period or need to use the Alternate Task because your roll doesn't fit anywhere in your challenge, here it is-


-July- Read a book with food on the cover or where food places an important part of the story

[Fran, Moderator]

Just a reminder-

All books used for this challenge need to be 100 pages or longer :)

[Fran, Moderator]

Roll your dice everyone! You have between today and July 5th to roll for your July task.


Good luck!
