2/10


1. 'J' is for July: We liked it so much in June, lets do it again!! Read a book that starts with 'J' or by an author whose first or last name begins with 'J'.

2. Happy Birthday!: Read a book from a July birthday celebrant's GR bookshelf whose name/nickname starts with the same letter as yours. If no one has the same letter, choose someone with the closest letter to yours alphabetically. RRRC July Birthday List

3. Geography: Read a book whose author, character or setting is from Saudi Arabia (Middle East). Or because Saudi Arabia has all of these, read a book about a monarchy (royal family), oil, or desert.

4. 7th Month: Lets face it, not a lot of series are seven books long. Since seven is a prime number, read a book that is a prime number in a series or has a prime number of words in the title. For those of you aren't math geeks like me, a prime number is a number greater than one divisible only by itself and one - 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13... (Yeah, this is practically a freebie!)

5. Fourth of July: Read a book with a Firecracker Heroine or a red, white and/or blue cover.
A Case of Kiss and Tell - Katherine Garbera (HD #2177 - Aug 2012) (firecracker heroine) 07/02/2012

6. Tour de France/Summer Olympics: Read a book that features athletes or an athletic event, takes place outdoors or is set in France or England.

7. All or Nothing Day, July 26th: Read a stand alone book, one that is not part of a series or connected to any other book.

8. I Forgot Day, July 2nd: Read a book that has been on your to-read list so long you forgot about it.

9. Ugly Truck Day, July 20th: Read a book about a cowboy, construction worker, mechanic, set on a ranch, involves cars/trucks, or one that just has a cover with a guy that looks like he was out working on his truck. ~sigh~
A Baby on the Ranch - Marie Ferrarella (HAR #1410 - July 2012) (cowboy/ranch) 07/03/2012

10. Reader's Choice: Read any book of your choice.

Hey Sarah - go to where you posted your list and select 'edit' on the bottom right had corner. This will let you update your list. You can then copy that list (right-click mouse) and repost it, if you like :) Hope this answers your question...

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are asking about updating your progress here, it is best to repost your list with the date you finished reading the books.

If you are asking about creating a personal thread in the member reading list section, click on the title of the section and on the upper right side it should say "new topic". Click that and it will open a new thread for you. Hope that helped!

Thanks Jane for answering!
