July ~ 'Folks in Uniform' ~ read a book where the main character is 'in uniform' . . . this can include military, but does not need to . . . for instance, a police officer, a doctor, or a chef . . . anyone whose profession brings to mind a specific uniform!

(For those who would like to keep track, a thread for all the year's monthly focus challenges can be found here.)

also, the characters don't need to be IN uniform for most of the book for it to 'count' . . . just as long as it is mentioned that they have a profession/volunteer position that brings to mind a particular uniform 🙂
