Note, for this challenge when you finish a book is the dates we are counting. When you start it is irrelevant. Also, one book that you read half of, but didn’t finish due to disinterest or distaste can count in the challenge. You must have read half though, and that reading must have happened or at least partially took place and ended during our timeframe. For me the idea is to try new and challenging books, and I don’t want fear of it not counting on any of my challenges to mar my choices (given I am a challenge a holic).
Have fun and Happy Summer.
Summer is full of all types of fun. So this challenge is going to be based on something I think is fun, TV series!
