★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments All right this month you will read as many books for each different task. You don't necessarily have to do one from each but see how many book you can read that will fit the tasks listed below

You get one point for each category that your book fits under. Therefore you may count if your book fits under three of the challenges you get three points.

Challenge 1:
Read a book that can be found on the following shelves: young-adult, school, college, or high-school

Challenge 2:
Read a book with a setting that is mostly in a school.

Challenge 3:
Read a book where that mostly takes place on the job

Challenge 4:
Read a book where a profession can be found in either the title or author name.

Challenge 5:
Read a chunkster (500+ pages).

Challenge 6:
Re-read a book that you have at one point had to read for school.


message 2: by Lori (new)

Lori Goldstein Love the variety in this month's challenge. Can any of them be combined or must each challenge be done with a different title?

Also with Challenge # 6 does "school" include college if you went?


message 3: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments You can combine any of them. So if you have a book that fits 1,3, &5. You get three points. Does that make sense?

Also yes college does count for 6

Margot (margot-livingtoreadfantasy) | 32 comments Okay #6 is going to be difficult, because I am still in 10th grade and I haven't had to read any books for school yet... But we're reading one at the moment. Can I use that one?
