Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

This is where to post your completed summer reading challenges!

Find the challenge and FAQs here: /topic/show/...
And here's a place to discuss ideas: /topic/show/...

Reminders of rules:

1. Books have to be >=100 pages long. Graphic novels and poetry need to be >=200 pages long. For audiobooks, check the length of the printed version.
2. No picture books.
3. You have to read it between June 1 and August 31. If you started it before then, you must have at least 100 pages left to go.
4. You can only earn 3 entries, 1 for each month.
5. Books can only be used once, and each prompt can only be used once.

You don't need to finish the months in order or in that month, so long as you finish by August 31. I will give you all a couple days after that to post your entries.

Things that make your mods' lives easier:

1. Please say which prompt you are using for each book.
2. Please include a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ link to the book and author. To add a link to the book click on “add book/authorâ€� above the comment field. This can be done using a browser, but not the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ app.
3. If it’s not obvious, please say how the book meets the task requirements - for example, you may need to tell us that a book was banned since they don't usually put that on the cover.
4. If you’ve chosen a task that relates to the book cover, please include the cover in your post (sometimes Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ defaults to an edition of the book with a different cover so this will make sure we can see the right cover).
5. If we have any questions about how a book you read fulfills the prompt then we’ll reply to your post asking you to explain it for us, so please do check back after posting. We’re a pretty relaxed group so this is just to make sure everyone has an equal chance to earn draw entries. :-)
6. Please post here only once you have completed your entry; we tend to miss stuff if you edit your post as you go. If you’re looking for a place to keep track of what prompts you’re working on, make a post in the Summer Reading Challenge Folder.
7. Please give a last initial with your name because sometimes other people also have that name. You'd be surprised which names are common.

Example Entry:
