Summer Reading Challenge

A group on my Shelfari page issued a Summer Reading Challenge, and you know I had to take it on! Here it is:

A reading challenge has been created to keeps us entertained this summer. Here's the challenge:
1. Read 3 books that are BOTMs from June-August.
2. Read a book that has a summer theme on the title (For example, The Beach by Alex Garland)
3. Read a book that has at least 400 pages.
4. Read a book that starts with the letter of your first name or last name.
5. Read a book that has at least one of the summer colors on the cover: red, yellow, and orange.

This equals 7 books for the summer!

The challenge begins June 1st and ends August 31st. Those that complete the challenge will be entered into a raffle to win a $25 gift card from Amazon. In order to get credit for the books read, the participant must write a review under this thread and indicate which number of the challenge was read. I will keep track of everyone who participates.

Also, mini challenges will be randomly given throughout the summer. For each mini challenge completed, the participant will receive an extra entry to the raffle. *Note* The main challenge must be completed by August 31st in order to receive the extra entries.

Here are the mini challenges so far:

Mini Challenge #1:
Read a book that is between 150-250 pages long.
