July Challenge

[Zakiya]

It's been a while since I've picked direct challenges, but it's still as fun as I remembered!

1. I Forgot Day*: Read a book that you have forgotten about.
2. National Chocolate Day: Read a book with a dark brown cover, a white cover, or a mix of the two.
3. Amelia Earhart Day: Read a book where the author's last name starts with either A or E. Then read a book that has a title starting with the other letter (whichever one your author did not have). A or An will not count for the title.
4. Summer Olympics 2012: Read a book where the main character is an athlete or where the setting is England.

Happy Reading!


* You can use the book you read for this number for one other number as well.

Can we use the same book for more than 1 part of this Challenge?

[Zakiya]

I will allow you to overlap the book that you use for "I Forgot Day." But you can only use it for that and one more challenge, does that make sense?

I guess it does. However, in my case I wanted to use a title for National Chocolate Day (Book has a white cover) and Summer Olympics (The main character is a former Yankee player).

But as you are the moderator, you set the criteria.

What I had in mind possibly

[Zakiya]

Just need to stumble across a book with an athlete!

Leverage! I've been wanting to read this young adult book for a while.
