Thank you for being impressed but it's simply dumb luck.
I picked the books for the June readathon based on a combination of reading preference, book length, and readathon prompt fit.

Just serendipity that they fit so many of this summer challenge's prompts. 😊

I don't know.
Oh, who am I kidding? Of course, I'm going to enter the drawing. :D
But first, I want to try and finish the last two prompts. Or maybe just one more because "published before 1922" is a pain, haha.
