If you do lots of challenges, you know there are some fairly universal rules everyone uses in setting up the parameters for their challenges. We're gunna break them cause its summer and it sounds fun. If you want to be more philosophical, those who hold with earth-based spirituality have had to flow against the stream historically, and so we are just gunna follow that tradtion.
In this challenge, instead of having to read the book during the timeframe, you can have read it at any time; you just need to finish it within our timeframe.
Don’t care how many pages it is.
And in honor of breaking rules, we will break our own, and say you can include one book that you don’t finish. You must have read a quarter of it.
You can take one of this challenges categories, and replace it with your own. (Name it).
Lastly, if one book fits more then one catagory, you can use it for tthem both. If amazingly you can get one book to fit all the catagories, then you only need one book!

1. In Honor of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” song, read a book that has a music playlist or music is performed or listened to in the book.
