Sorry!
I've now seen that this challenge taked place during the month of June, so I think that I cannot join into it :/

Will the challenge be repeated in the next months, maybe August or September? :)

[Rachel]

You can still join, Piccolamimi. You can do all challenges that we have whenever. They don't go away. Depending on the type of challenge, it might eventually get moved to a different folder, but you can participate whenever and more than once if you so wish. For this type of challenge since it is a monthly/seasonal challenge it will more than likely stay in this folder. Read away and have fun! Look forward to seeing what books you pick!

[CalledJenny]

Oh, that's great Rachel! ^_^ Thanks for your explanation :)!
So, I'm starting reading one of the most famous Robert L. Stevenson's books: The strange case of dottor Jekyll e Mr Hyde :D!

Happy reading to everyone! =)
