Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

Read-the-Month Italian Edition
G-I-U-G-N-O (June)
Duration: June 1, 2011 - June 30, 2011

The challenge lasts the entire month of June, starting on the first and ending on the thirtieth.

Using the letters of the month, you may read a book by an author whose first or last name starts with that letter or you may read a book whose title starts with that letter. Feel free to disregard articles: a, an, the, etc.

With the abundance of vowels and the double G, this may be an interesting month! Happy reading and best of luck!
