message 1: by Angelique (new)

Angelique Anderson | 167 comments Hey guys, I'm so sorry I'm late. I just completed finals week, my sister's been in and out of the hospital, and my house is being remodeled. On top of that I'm just naturally forgetful.

My email address is angeliqueanderson@hotmail.com. If I haven't gotten Septembers challenge posted by the 26th of this month, feel free to harass me.


1. Eighth Month: Read the book that is eighth on your to-read list, or a number on your to-read list that consists of all eights & zeros(i.e. 8, 80, 88, 800, 808, 880).
2. National Mustard Day: Red a book with yellow on the cover.
3. August themed read: Read a book on your to-read list by an author whose first or last name ends with A-U-G-S-T. If there isn't one, read a book whose title starts with one of those letters.
4. National Relaxation Day: Pick an easy read.
5. Bill Clinton's Birthday: Read a book that involves some kind of scandal, or a character with a questionable reputation. Anything goes for this one, use your imagination.
6. Kiss & Makeup day: Read a book where the antagonist and protagonist were once in a relationship or good friends. If you enjoy romance, read a book were the love interests constantly butt heads.
7. International Homeless Animal Day: Read a book with an animal on the cover, a animal that plays a role in the plot, or a book written by an author who adopted their pet.
8. Your pick.

BONUS: In honor of national peach pie day, read a book set in Georgia, with a character from Georgia, or a author who was born or currently resides there.
