⚜️XAR the Bookwyrm (xar-the-bookwyrm) description

This challenge is a celebration of the number of the month. There will be no levels and no page requirements, and the idea is to mix and match among the prompts for as many as your books will fit. However, a book may only be used for one prompt at a time, not multiple prompts! Duration will be from July 1st to July 31st, 2017.

Your challenge is to read as many books as you can that correspond to these listed prompts. Your sign up post is the post you should keep updated. DO NOT copy your sign up post to announce you are finished with the challenge! Books listed should also have completion dates to count as participating in the challenge! If you can come up with additional prompts that fit the theme of the month, let us all know! Here are the prompts:

Seventh book in a series

Beth | 459 comments How about Author's Name has 7 Letters?
Page count is divisible by 7?

I'll see how I do this July!

1. A book with a 7 letter word in the title OR Author's First/Last Name (When using name it can only be one of the two, it can't be across both names!) Book Scavenger by Jennifer BERTMAN 7/1/17 (author 7 letters) , Captain Vorpatril's Alliance, Lois McMaster Bujold 7/5/17 (captain = 7 letters)

2. Book Published in July 2017: Chasing Down a Dream: A Blessings Novel, Beverly Jenkins 7/10/17 (notice that author's name has 7 letters for first and last!)

3. A book with title or author name that starts with the seventh letter of the alphabet (G) Marry in Haste, Anne Gracie 7/10/17

4. A book with a page count that has a 7 anywhere in it Black Butler, Vol. 8, Yana Toboso 7/22/17 (174 pp)

5. A book published in 2007 Miss Spitfire, Sarah Miller 7/24/17


It is very sad that my page count suggestion was rejected, as my last book had 210 pages :-)

I think your page count suggestion may be a little difficult to accomplish, especially as we go into the later months like November and December. Likewise, your Author Name suggestion might be hard to accomplish in those later months, not to mention I already have an entry that does a 7 letter word in the title, so I'm hesitant to duplicate it with Author's Name. I can, however, change the entry to be title OR Author's Name, so it can be the participant's choice. Thanks for your suggestions!
