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 May 1st to May 31st, 2020.
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.
