Duration: July 1st, 2015 - June 31st, 2016
For this Challenge, you will be reading books that revolve around each month’s traditional birthstone. You will be given the option to choose a book based either on its color, or the first letter of the title (no authors this time around).
Depending on the difficulty level you select, you may choose to read a book based either on color, title, or both.
If you choose to read a book based on the title, you may only read one book per letter. For example, if the gemstone only has one A in it, you may only read one title that begins with A. If the gemstone has two T’s in it, you may read two titles that begin with T.
Please ignore The, A, and An when selecting titles
If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to ask!
Challenge Rules:
→ When you sign up for the challenge, please post some kind of a place saver so that I can link you up under the participants. You will be updating this first post as you finish your books.
→ For each book you read, please update your original post and somehow indicate which book you read, and the date you finished reading it.
→ You may only use each book once in this challenge, but feel free to use the same titles in other challenges!
→ If you decide that you've bitten off more than you can chew, feel free to let me know you'd like to downgrade, or even back out of the challenge. However, please do not delete your posts. It will mess up the links to other participants' postings if you do.
→ Books must be started on or after July 1st, 2015. Books started before this date will not be counted for this challenge.
