June Challenge 2120 - All Aboard the TBR train

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

June Challenge 2021. ALL ABOARD THE TBR TRAIN



This month is about all those many books that you have sitting around waiting to be read.

You can choose :-
Easy: 3 carriages - 3 books (at least 1 Aussie author)
Medium: 6 carriages - 6 books (at least 2 Aussie authors)
Hard: 9 carriages - 9 books (at least 3 Aussie authors)

BUT in order to make your train you will need to link your engine and each pair of carriages together using something that is common to both of them.
For example both written by a male author, both have the same colour cover, both are set in America etc. Be creative:)

The Engine is JUNE so your first link must be something to do with June.

All books to be chosen from your TBR list!

Here is a simple example of a 3 car train..

Engine -June
Link 1 : Read a book where the title starts with one of the letters in J-U-N-E
Carriage 1. Just Like Heaven by Julia Quinn

Link 2: Read another book with a female author.
Carriage 2. The Darkest Shore by Karen Brooks AA

Link 3: Read another book set in Australia
Carriage 3. Song of the Crocodile AA

Copy and paste the template below and change and add of course if you are going to do a longer train.
Have fun!!!
