Lol...my strategy is working then, Tari?
I'm going to try and keep carrying them over. If I have an open end date, I'm likely to start forgetting about the challenge again, just like I did with the original challenge. Hope that's okay, jingles.AUGUST 2020 READING CHALLENGE CLEAN UP

Okay...a little bit of a switch-up here...instead of carrying unfinished work over into the next month, what I've done is eliminate the end date. So the start date will stay in place, meaning you won't start this challenge until August 1st. However, the end date is left open. That way, no worrying about carrying anything forward, when you finish the challenge, you will just come back here to post your completion. Clear as mud?
So...take a look at your challenges and decide what needs to be cleaned up and marked off your list next. This is kind of like a read-a-thon...with a twist. The goal is to help us complete a difficult challenge - or one that has been lingering for a while :)
To Start: You will need to pick a specific "target" to work on...a challenge that is proving difficult to finish, a challenge that needs just a few books to complete....any reading challenge you've been working on for some time, but haven't been able to finish.
Please Note: You are welcome to use just a section of a specific challenge if you prefer. For example: If you are working on the Ben & Jerry's Challenge, and you have just a letter or two (or more) to complete a certain flavor, you are welcome to use that as your challenge clean up goal.
Next: Post your specific target or goal below, and you are ready to get started.
