SA Book & Challenge Lovers discussion

This month we're reading QUIP or READ in English.

Use the books you finish in August to fill out the word, using the first letter of the first word in the title (excluding 'the', 'a' or 'an') or the first letter of the author's name, middle name or surname.

You are allowed to read one or both of the words. You may the same book in both words if you choose to read both.

Books must be at least 120 pages long.
