Challenge duration: April 1st - June 30th

Pick a level with the amount of books you hope to read in the next 3 months!

Level 1: 1-5 books
Level 2: 6-10 books
Level 3: 11-15 books
Level 4: 16-20 books
Level 5: 21+ books

And here are some fun prompts to help you out:

Spell out the word! You can pick one or all the words, but each letter of your word must correspond with the first letter of the title or the first/last initial of the author's name. (It's up to you whether you count 'The' or 'A' as the first word in the title).
