This should be fun!

For August, read books with author names (first, middle or last) that begin with a vowel (A, E, I, O or U).

Here's a few examples:
Against the Tide by Elizabeth Camden The Lines Between Us by Amy Lynn Green The View from Coral Cove by Amy Clipston

Levels:
1-3 Making a Short Vowel Sound
4-6 Loving Long Vowels
7-9 Going for Double Vowels
10+ Triple Vowels!

Who's in?

For this challenge, only books read in August are counted.


Jamie  (The Kansan Reader) (thekansanreader) I'm in.

Level 4-6

I'll try. I have August off from two jobs (yay for a staycation!), and I want to read 1-2 Eason books, if they fit into the challenges I'm trying to finish out.
