The Bookworm Challenge discussion

Changing things up a bit and trying something new. The summer challenge will run for July and August and will encompass 2 challenges.
1) Place name in the title - Any book read in July/August that has a place name in the title. It may be a real place or a fictional place such as Narnia or The Shire. Must be a proper noun i.e. Pacific Ocean not just ocean,
2) Reread - Any book read in July or August that you have read at least once previous to 2023.
You do not have to choose one challenge or the other. Your total points will be all books read for the 2 months that fit either challenge. It is probably easier for Stephanie to wait until the end of August to add points for these challenges.
Hopefully I have explained this so everyone understands but if there are any questions, please ask.

Artificial Condition by Martha Wells

Connie, I am really enjoying having the two months for the two challenges. It was a fun and inspired idea. However, your monthly challenge reveal is my reminder to give my dog her heartworm and flea and tick medication. I won't allow myself to do any planning for the month until I give her the medication. So without my reminder, I didn't thing of it until today. :)
