JULY Reading Challenge (COMPLETE)

On GoodReads, I belong to a reading challenge group (which can be viewed here). The July challenge theme is picnics. "Summer is a time for getting out of the house and getting together with friends and family for a picnic. So for July we decided a Picnic in July would be the perfect theme for a challenge." There are a number of ways to go about the challenge:
  • Read books which contain scenes of picnics on the cover
  • Do a traditional spell-it-out challenge spelling out the word(s) associated with picnic (or the word picnic itself) using the first or last letter of a character's or author's first, last, or 'nick' name. Or you can use the first letter of the title. If the title begins with A, An, The, etc then you may use the first letter of the second word of the title.
Levels of Play (choose 1):
Ants in your pants
- Read 1 - 3 Books
Easy Breezy - Read 4 - 6 Book
Dog Days of Summer - Read 7 - 9 Books
Summer Loving - Read 10 - 12 Books
Smarter than your average bear - Read 13 +

I've really been wanting to participate in reading challenges, and so for July, I'm going to try it. Here's my spell-it-out challenge.

Here is my complete book challenge. Since this is my first one, I decided to start out small. There are 4 books total (therefore, I'm at the EASY BREEZY reading level). Do you think I can do it?? July is here. It's a new month, and I'm going to make the very best of it. I've decided to make some changes in my life (for the better), and I know that this is something that I very well can accomplish :) And if you are interested, read along with me!
 
Let's DO this!
