Allison (rainy-day-reads) How many books can you tag in July?

Book Tag was new in June, so I'm still tweaking it a little bit. This month the rules are simpler, since I found myself having trouble counting up all my points last month. :D

Book Tag

*Each book you tag earns 5 points. (Completed books.)
*Add to that 5 points for each group activity that you participate in with that book. Tag it with as many as you can - challenges, games, group reads, buddy reads, readathons - to get the most out of it.

*25 bonus points if you meet your personal monthly goal.
*10 bonus points for each challenge or game for which you complete a level during the month.

Post how many books you plan to read this month. List the books you plan to read, or just state a number. Then check back in and see how much you've accomplished!
