It’s book challenge time again! Let’s skip over the part where I tell you how bad I am at completing the challenges. Instead, let’s just talk about the books I hope to read in the near future. Today I am making my selections for the summer Book Challenge by Erin 5.0.

(I’m skipping Megan’s Semi-Charmed Summer 2016 Book Challenge this time, but if you want to participate you can find the rules here.)

Someday I really, really hope that I finish a challenge- specifically Erin’s. Until then all I can do is pick my titles and try 🙂 If you like reading, please join us! You don’t have to devour books at a super human pace (obviously)- It’s all just for fun!

Erin 5.0’s Book Challenge runs from July 1st to October 31st. (Rules are here.) Here are my picks:

| 5 points | Freebie – Read a book that is at least 200 pages: Cress by Marissa Meyer *
| 10 points | Read a book that starts with the letter “R”: The Royal We by Heather Cocks
| 10 points | Read a book with five words in the title: The Taming of The Queen by Philippa Gregory
| 15 points | Read a book that has a (mostly) blue cover: The Selection by Kiera Cass
| 20 points | Read a book with twins as characters: The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis
| 20 points | Read a book from this list of books made into movies: Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda *
| 25 points | Read a book set in a country you have always wanted to visit: Death Wears a Mask by Ashley Weaver (England)
| 30 points | Read a historical fiction book: March by Geraldine Brooks *
| 30 points | Read a music related book: Wicked by Gregory Maguire *
| 35 points | Read a book originally published over 100 years ago: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott *

In addition to Erin’s Challenge, I’m currently participating in a reading competition with friends from Arizona. (We’re keeping track via spreadsheet on Google Drive.) Five of my books (*) match up with that challenge and will have to be read in July & August because that’s when the challenges overlap.

I’m so glad to have these lists and categories to push me to read more. Thank YOU to Erin (and Amanda & John in Arizona)!!

There’s still plenty of time to join the challenge with me! What books do you plan to read this summer?
