June's Spell it Out! Challenge

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

June's Spell it Out! Challenge

Duration - June 1st through 30th

As with all our Not Too Challenging Challenges, you get to decide how to make this one work for you. The idea is to spell the name of the month, June, or choose a word that you think of when you think of June, and spell it out.

Some Ideas -

You might want to spell out the word, June, or Summer, or Last Day Of School... whatever word comes to mind when you think of June. It's up to you.

Example -

June is National Rose Month, so you might choose to spell "Just Joey" (a type of rose bush).

J - Just the Sexiest Man Alive
U -
S - Suzanne Brockmann - Breaking the Rules
T -

J - James, Eloisa - A Duke of Her Own
O -
E -
Y - Until You - Judith McNaught

So you see, it's pretty easy to come up with books that will fit into this category.

Please post your status updates including the number of books you plan to read, if you know, and the number you've actually completed, like this -

3/14, 2/10, 4 down, etc...

The only restriction is that you can't begin reading before June 1st and must be finished by June 30th. Books can be listed and changed at anytime up until June 30th.

If interested, please sign up below.

My family owns a flower shop and June is the start of the wedding season. I thought to do something different I would pick a heart which is part of most weddings.

[Mslvoe]

Yes, I will. UniquelyMoi, can I add few books in this challenge? Thanks :-))
