There will be a 1 point bonus if you include one of my (Courtney's) favorite books. You can find my favorites on this shelf (if a book is in a series, any book in the series will count): https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
Hm, I guess I'll TRY this. Not saying I'll do well XD.
Well, there is never a guarantee! But I'm sure you'll do better than you think!
Great! Hope you guys have fun with it. Plenty of time for planning!
Luke, Bookbuyer, Ash, and LisaG, you've all been added.:)

I'm excited to get a ton of reading done this month :)

I'm in! Do we have to do the levels in order though, or could we start with level 2 if we wanted to? :)
You can start with what ever level you wish.
I'm in. This one IS madness :)
Bunnita (Worth Reading It?) wrote: "I'm in. This one IS madness :)"It is indeed.:) Added.
I have a question: do you have to go in order of the level? Like if I had a book that fit level one but not level two could I do that or does if have to be a book that fits level one, then two, then three? I hope this makes sense.

Does that answer your question?
Maya wrote: "Also does 
fit for anything?"You can count it for Spirited Away, Level Two: Fantasy Novel.
Natalie, Siobhan, Dawnie, and Mary, you are all added.:)
I have a couple of questions regarding some books I want to read for the challenge. 1. For Jumanji Level Three set in a jungle. Can it be set in the jungle for only about a chapter or does it have to be the whole book?
2. For Jumanji Level One Game Board/Game Pieces. Since there are a variety of games if we can find a specific game with the piece we want to use can we use that 'game piece'? For instance I want to use
which has keys on the cover. I found a game called Locke & Key which has a physical key in the game. It even is the same type of key.3. For West Side Story Level Two and Three. Do retellings count and do you have any example I can see?
Hi, Bookbuyer! Let me try to give you some answers. Sorry for taking so long. 1) It would need to be set in a jungle/wikderness for a large portion of the book.
2) Yes. You can count that.
3) Yes, retellings count. Let me check and come back with some examples, the names aren't coming to my head right now!

TY!
Another few question:1. Would
count for Groundhog Day Level Two: Involves television/news show.2. Would
count Modern interpretation of Romeo and Juliet.
Courtney wrote: "Yes, both of those are fine."TY! :D
I am going to back out of this challenge and just do the page count one. Crazy June.... think I will enjoy better just focusing on the one. :)
No problem! Hope you have fun with that one. If at the end of the month you want to try and fit things to this, feel free.

Courtney wrote: "Maya wrote: "Also does fit for anything?"You can count it for Spirited Away, Level Two: Fantasy Novel."
Alrighty. Thank you! I'll count that for that, but then I have another question: what would
go for? I had that as Spirited Away, Level Two: Fantasy Novel, but I'll use Red Rising for that. Would Darkest Minds work for Jaws, Level One: Frightening/Unnerving? or Finding Nemo, Level One: Orange and White? Although it doesn't have all that much white on it
