Foreman Paris’ July Challenge




July is National Ice Cream Month and I love ice cream so I figured it would make a great foreman challenge. You can pick however you’d like to do things. You can either spell out your favorite flavor or two or read books that remind you of the flavors. For example: for baseball nut ice cream you could read books about baseball or with baseball players for characters. If you choose to read books that remind you of flavors you can choose one and read a bunch of books for that flavor or read one book for as many flavors as you can get to. Whatever you choose to do.

Re-reads are allowed and there are no page limitations for this challenge. To spell out a word you can use author name, title of the book or the name of the series.
