Another great challenge, yay!!
Molly at My Cozy Book Nook is hosting her first challenge. The goal is to read either 3 or 6 books between May 22 (just prior to Memorial Day) and September 7 (Labor Day). You can read books from any genre, but they must allow you to "travel" to a locale that you would like to visit.
The levels are participation are:
Beach Bum: read 3 books; cross-over book selections from other challenges may count; and you do not have to list books in advance.
Globe Trotter: commit to reading 6 pre-selected books during this time frame, but you may substitute up to 3 books due to changes in travel plans. Cross-overs for 5 out of the 6 books are allowed, but ideally one book will be read for this challenge alone.
And there are prizes! There'll be a prize for participants signing up before May 15 and a grand prize for finishing the challenge (1 each, to be drawn randomly).
I'm choosing the Globe Trotter option. The books I'm selecting are:
