It's finally summer time!
Well almost anyway; June 20th marks the first day of summer, and we're going to celebrate with a reading challenge! Let's see what else we can learn about this month as we complete tasks based on different facts focused on the month of June.

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. Once you have decided on your books, just edit that post so that the link under the Participants List will go to your list!

→ When you finish reading a book, please edit your post and add the date completed.

→ You may only use each book once in the challenge, but feel free to use the same titles in other challenges!

→ When you complete the challenge, please copy and paste your entire, completed list as a brand new message to make it easier for everyone to see what you've read, and to have your name marked as "completed".

→ 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. Please do not delete the post. It will mess up the links to other participants' postings if you do.

Way to go, Iris! That's great! I'm working on my 4th book, so soon I hope to halfway done. lol ;-)

Congratulations to all who have finished! And good luck to all who are still working towards completion! :-)

Would a proposal count for the "wedding" task?

Ashley wrote: "Would a proposal count for the "wedding" task?"

If there is a proposal, is the book a "paranormal romance"? That would also fit that task...

If you don't have a better fit then yes, a proposal will be fine.

there is a proposal and an engagement party, but it's a Chicagoland vampire book, which I consider more UF....

Ashley wrote: "there is a proposal and an engagement party, but it's a Chicagoland vampire book, which I consider more UF...."

If that's your last slot you need filled, yes...use the proposal/engagement party.

I just chose 2 books this time, but I finished!

Thanks for the challenge!

Done..just in time

Much to my surprise, I managed to finish this one, too! :-)

At least, I finished it if The Raven Boys can count for the "wedding, or paranormal romance" task. lol There was sort of a romance in it. I'm counting it, anyway. ;-)

Congratulations to everyone else who finished, too! :-)

Jen, on the Goodreads page it has "romance" listed under the genres options...so count it!
