OK, so unfortunately due to a lot going on in our lives the past month, we missed the May challenge :(

But we will be doing a June challenge which I will be coming back to update tomorrow and it will most likely be patriotic :)

But here we go :D

Welcome to June's Challenge, this month's theme is...... "Patriots"

So this month we have both the 4th of July (US) and The Diamond Jubilee (UK)

Again we are going to have a few different categories.

This Challenge will run from June 1st until June 30th

The rules are:

*The books you add are your choice and you are free to change them as you like :)

*Feel free to mix and match again

*It is not a problem if you do not reach your goal

*The amount of books you aim to read is entirely up to you

*Have Fun!!!

Now the rules are out of the way, let's get on :D

Princess: 1 - 5 books

Queen: 6 - 10 books

President: 11 - 15 books

Denae  (denae3) | 250 comments Well I never finished my March challenge and I didn't participate in the April one :( .....I know, I know...I'm slacking and I have been absent. I have been rather busy it seems and haven't had much time to read. I have read three books though in this past week/weekend so I may just be getting back in to the swing of it! **YAY** I have a lot of catching up to do again :o( ...but by golly I will try my darndest! lol
PS I'm going to Vegas next month! So excited for some much needed Vacay time! lol (even though I just went home for two weeks, but this one is without the kiddos!) Ok enough talking and back to reading! Much love to all my reading buddies! lol
