Riya In this challenge, you will be reading books from a list put together by the people who signed up!

Here's How It Works:

1. When you sign up, pick out five books you want to be included on the list, or pool.
2. Any book works as long as it follows these simple guidelines:
-YA
-No Duplicates
3. At the beginning of August, you will start reading books from the Book Pool. Pick at least one, but there is no limit on the number of books you read.
4. We will have a bit of a competition; the person who reads the most books in the Book Pool will be the champion for that month!

Okay! That's it, have fun!

Also how do we submit a book as read?


message 23: by Riya (new)

Riya Yes you do have to read them in August, and all you do is create a post in this discussion to keep track of your progress and add them to that post by editing, or you can just keep posting as you read them!!!
