Read 9/10
I think I'm calling it on this challenge. I didn't get around to the Canadian author because nothing I've read this year is by a Canadian author and there weren't any to choose from on my current TBR. I just don't want to force myself to read a book I'm not in the mood for or don't own to complete it. I'll take 9/10!

Rules
Duration: June 1, 2016 – August 31, 2016
We are a YA Book Club, so most books should be young adult (unless otherwise noted).
You have 3 months to read 10 YA books that satisfy following requirements:
1) Read a book that is a new release published in June, July or August of 2016. Goodreads offers lists of the most popular new releases by month; they might help you to make your choices - June, July, August . (If you have difficulties obtaining these new books, you can read a release from the same months 2015).
2) Read a book whose title starts with one of the letters of the word SUMMER.
3) June 3 is Repeat Day. Re-read a book of your choosing!
4) June 23 is Pink Day. Read a book with your favourite colour on the cover!
5) June 24 is FAIRY DAY!!!!!! Read a book about fairies, fae or a fairy tale retelling. Some ideas here: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...,
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4..., https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2..., https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...
6) July 1 is Canada Day! As a Canadian I'm super proud of my country and would love if you would read a book written by a Canadian author. Some ideas here: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4...
7) July 2 is I Forgot Day and since I forgot two do it for the second year in a row it's belated Spring Cleaning Day! Read a book from the bottom of your TBR pile!
8) August is Romance Awareness Month. Read a book that either has a great romance or my choice, has no romance!
9) August 9 is Book Lovers Day. Read any book of your choosing or a book recommended by a friend!
10) August 27 is Franchise Appreciation Day. Read a book that is part of a series. (Thanks to my friend Claire who came up with this idea >.<) Some ideas here: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4...
I will be adding ideas to this later but feel free to start planning now.
Everything should be done on this thread - your questions, your plans and your progress.
Happy reading!
