Copia-di-July-challenge

This reading challenge will start on August 1st, 2019, and end on August 31st, 2019. Books used for this challenge MUST be read during this time frame.

The reader with the most points at the end of the month will go into the draw to win a surprise ebook. If there are multiple readers on the same winning point tally, a winner will be chosen randomly.
All books must be New Adult (NA) and a minimum of 120 pages.

***********************

NOTE: The lucky winner will be contacted via private message and will have 48 hours to reply and claim the prize. If he/she doesn't reply on time, a new winner will be chosen randomly.
Since Amazon restricts gifting to some countries, the selected winner must have an account on amazon.com in order to receive the gift. While we are looking into this, to find other solutions, unfortunately at the moment there is nothing we can do about it.

Hi Hailey! To participate in the challenge, you simply write a post copying all the threads for the challenge, then choose books that you think will fulfill the threads. Once you've finished reading a book, you update your post indicating the date you've completed the book and how many stars you've rated it.
