Stephany ... Great that one book fits so many tasks ... BUT ...
I'm going to revise the rules to specify that you can only use a book for ONE task per month, though you are welcome to use one book for multiple challenges .. for example another group's challenges. Or if we have more than one challenge going at the same time.
That's been our intention all along, just never explicitly stated.
Something Borrowed: Approval Junkie by Faith Saile. I borrowed it from my local library. San Mateo County Library Something Blue: Tomboy by Liz Prince
this is so much. fun. I'm getting new ideas for future books and my book is about a new bride and is borrowed.

Rules of the challenge
Books must be at least 100 pages in length
A book counts for only ONE task per challenge (but feel free to use it for other challenges ... in the past or in another group).
Re-reads are fine, as long as you actually read the entire book
Book should be finished within the time-frame of the challenge.
Any format ("dead tree," e-book, audio...) is fine.
If you want acknowledgement that you have completed the challenge you MUST include the date you finished reading each book.
As always, have fun!
