Because this is the first challenge I’ve ever facilitated (and I don’t know what I’m doing), I’m going to dub this challenge “The Free For All.”

Basically, I’m giving a plethora of options (50 in total) for participants to choose from and you’re only required to select three of the book descriptions. Individual books might fall into multiple categories, but the point is to select at least three books in total.

For the month of August, we’re just going to keep it fun and stress free. Enjoy this final month of summer and grab a few good books to keep you company!
