so are we running 2 challenges in august...lol!
LOL! Looks like it! I already had this one set up, but I think it'll be cool to have both. That way people sort of have a choice as to which they wanna do.
Hehehe...most of my books come from the library, so this challenge will be a good one for me! :)
on the bright side I have a pile of about 15 library books that I need to tackle...let's see how many I can get done
Awesome! My mom doesn't take me to the library a lot because I have so many here to read, and I never get around to reading the books I checked out. So I'm just going to stick to reading the books with B/O/Y covers :)
My Reading List for This Challenge!!! --2/8 completed
1.
2. Ian and the Pirates (B/O/Y)
3. Eragon (Y)
4. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (O/Y)
5. The Girl Who Played With Fire (O/Y)
6. The Help (O/Y)
7. Tower of Parlen Min (B/Y)
8.
I am going to attempt both the challenges this month, this second challenge will be an easy one for me though because I get most of my books from the library anyhow. I'm a bit of a nerd and have always loved libraries, lol.
Awesome :) LOL I love nerdy things in general!

i feel like i'm slacking..haven't finished anything yet this month
I am reading
which I got from the library.
Jencey - you'll have to let me know how that one is - I have it on the kindle - KH has done no wrong by me so far in books

I found this one to be a little darker than her others. Still a good book. I am part of a group that is discussing it with Kristin Hannah. I agree you can't do wrong with KH.
I feel the same way you do Dee! I feel like I should have finished at least one book
i mean, i have 2 that are almost done - in the 80% range, so i will soon, but yeah, its weird that I haven't finished at least one book by now
Dee-- you aren't behind if you haven't finished something. i've only got one book so far. Not very happy with it actually lol. Working on 2, 3, and 4.
listened to Mercy Kill this week on the drive which I borrowed from the library and read Killer's Tears also from the library
I have read two books already this month.
and
both of which I borrowed from the library.
That means I have completed this challenge.
finished up listening to Cannons at Dawn: The Second Diary of Abigail Jane Stewart, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, 1779 - a YA written in diary form of a 15 yo girl who was a camp follower during the last years of the American revolution - I borrowed this from the libraryCompleted

Undead and Unpopular - I borrowed the CD's of this from the library a while back, and loaded them to my computer - so they count as being borrowed ;) - a better installment than the last year - Sinclair was starting to act more like himself - not sure if I will continue the series unless my library gets them as audiobooks - not really interested in readingCompleted

Zakiya wrote: "Yes there is! :D"Thought so, but I was not sure.
Meghan-- How was it!? I'm on like Chapter 18 or 19 right now.Amy-- Yepps :)
Haha Yeah I couldn't stop reading it...just kind of kept going even though it was part of the Buddy Read! I thought it was pretty amazing.
LOL! I've done that several times before :) I'm glad you liked it! I'm glued to it right now.

The challenge for August is:
~Read a book with orange, brown, or yellow on the cover! As long as it's at least a speck of these colours, it counts!
AND/OR
Read a book that you borrowed from the library! Whether you checked it out recently or ages ago (although I'd hope you wouldn't still have them), read them :).
Share what book/s you are going to try to read for this month; or, you can post as you finish them. At the end of the month, I will post a summary of everything that was read!! :D
If you would like to start reading early for this challenge, you can start on the 30th, and the book/s will still count!
Happy Reading!
