June ~ ‘Summer Holidays’ ~ read a holiday themed book . . . ANY holiday will do! (even a personal vacation holiday)

(For those who would like to keep track, a thread for all the year's monthly focus challenges can be found here.)

Linda Nielson | 133 comments Do you consider a wedding a holiday?
I was going to read A Bride’s Guide to Marriage and Murder (Countess of Harleigh Mystery, #5) by Dianne Freeman if it counts.


message 37: by Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor (new)

Kate (liahonagirl) | 3535 comments Mod
Oooh . . . interesting question, Linda. I hadn't thought about it. I did say that it was open to interpretation, such that a personal holiday would 'count', so I think that a wedding would count, as you're likely taking time off out of your normal schedule to attend, even if you're just a guest . . .
Go for it! 😊
