Challenge rules:
*No graphic novels, poetry or cookbooks allowed.
*Follow your own time zone. If you finish the book between the theme dates in your time zone, it counts.
*You must be able to justify how your book fits the theme. Example: If the theme is cats, then your book can have a cat on the cover, a cat in the book, can be all about cats, etc. If you can justify it, then it will work. Let's keep this easy and you may be creative with your links to the themes.
Standard Rules Apply
Themes
August 1-7 Asia
August 8-14 Africa
August 15-21 Americas (North & South)
August 22-31 Europe
*Theme Start & End times are based on your time zone. So the Asia theme will end on August 7th at midnight in the time zone that you live in.*

Guess what! Both of our formal buddy reads would fit the week 3 sub-theme (setting-wise). So, I am offering a way to get extra points for your team. Anyone who participates in one or both of the formal buddy reads can earn 2 points for each book. The more people on your team that participate in the buddy reads, the more bonus points that you can rack up. That is up to 4 bonus points per person! That is in addition to your page count points. Just add the bonus points to your completion post.
You can find the buddy reads here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...
