This challenge is a celebration of the number of the month. There will be no levels and no page requirements, and the idea is to mix and match among the prompts for as many as your books will fit. However, a book may only be used for one prompt at a time, not multiple prompts! Duration will be from July 1st to July 31st, 2021.

Your challenge is to read as many books as you can that correspond to these listed prompts. Your sign up post is the post you should keep updated. DO NOT copy your sign up post to announce you are finished with the challenge! Books listed should also have completion dates to count as participating in the challenge! Here are the prompts:

Seventh book in a series
Author's Seventh Book
Seventh Book on your TBR pile
A book published in July 2021
A book published in 2007
The seventh book you purchase in this month
Read a book for the seventh time
