Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Another two months has already gone by. Crazy! Good luck everyone!

1. National Hot Dog Month - Read one book with a sun on the cover, and a second with either a dog on the cover or a dog as the main character's pet.

2. Work-a-holics/Work Like a Dog Day - I'm sure everyone would like to take a break. So let's do just that. Forget about everything else, and read anything that will take the stress away.

3. Ugly Truck Day - Read a book with any type of vehicle onthe cover. (This includes boats, bikes, motorcycles, scooters, and wheelchairs if you happen to stumble across one.)

4. Hammock Day - Read another relaxing book! Read it in a hammock if you have one :)

5. National Lasagna/Watermelon Day - Read two books with either a coloured cover (red, brown, or pink) or where the authors' names contain Red, Brown, or Green.
------Ex: CJ Redwine, Jennifer Brown, John Green.

6. US Coast Guard Day - Read a book where any character was/is in the military (or some time of army if it's historical fiction).

7. National Eye Exam Month - Read a book that has two eyes on the cover (preferably on the same face, but different faces will work work as well).

*9 books total*

Sorry I didn't see this comment sooner. I thought Will Grayson was an excellent novel. I simply adore John Green's style of writing, so my opinion may be a little biased. I think you will most likely enjoy it. It really is a heartwarming tale... sort of.


message 14: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) That's okay! And that's definitely good to know. John Green is one of my favorite male authors, so my opinion will be biased as well :)
