I guess I'll give it a try ;)
Do I have to give the word now? And what number are you referring to? (Sorry for being a bit spazzy, this is my first reading challenge)

You don't have to list anything now. In fact, you can make it all up as you go. You just have to have your final stats posted by July 31st.

You can use ANYTHING you want to spell the word. Author's first name, last name, name of book, any word from the title of the book... just list how it made you think of July :)

Oh, this is the Spell it Out! Challenge, Steffi. Is yours a 5 letter word or did you mean to post in the BYOC challenge?
"Rootless Tree (CJ) wrote: "I'm nervous!""
You know, you should take a look at the June challenges in this folder and see what others have chosen to do. There are some great ideas!
I'll participate again. :D I'm going to spell out the word 'Family' because we have so many birthdays, anniversaries and family BBQ's and get togethers during July.

I'm jealous!!!!!!!!
I'm in although I'm not sure what i want to spell yet.
We're glad to have you, Sheery! Post when you're ready, or as you go!
Oh, I thought of the perfect word. Stars. :) My youngest daughter says fireworks remind her of the stars. Plus, we are going to be camping (in the yard, but still) and there are stars (hopefully) when you camp. The only letter I don't know yet is the 'A' but I'll find something.0/5 completed
S - See, Lisa Dreams of Joy
T - A Table for Three by Lainey Reese

R - Robertson, Michael - The Brothers of Baker Street

ETA: I guess the 'A' could be used with 'A Table for Three' but then I still need a 'T'. LOL I'm over thinking this at the moment.

Can this be contemporary romance or historical romance or both? No PNR, right?

There is very little restriction to these challenges! I suppose some people might think they don't qualify as challenges because they're so easy, but I think they are because we set our own goals and then read to achieve them!
I'm going to try to stay on the romance train as a challenge to me ;)

During the All Things Spring Challenge, I created my Spring Cleaning challenge and restricted myself to books that were part of a series that needed to be "cleaned up" or books that had been sitting on my shelves "collecting dust."For the All Things Summer Challenge, I'm too lazy to make a list, so in keeping with the Lazy Days of Summer, I'm NOT making a list. I'll read what I want, when I want, because I'm too lazy to work any harder on my challenge than that :)
