1. Books must be at least 100 pages long, except for graphic novels or poetry, which must be at least 200 pages long. For audiobooks, you can either use the printed version to determine the equivalent page length or we will convert at a rate of 1 minute = 1 page.
2. Picture books or any other books where illustrations make up most of the book can’t be used.
3. You must read the whole of a book between June 1 and August 31 to count it for this challenge. Books started before June 1st must have at least 100 pages left before beginning on June 1st.
