I will be honest with you guys. I will try to complete the smallest word possible for this challenge: SIX.S
I
X
I am really sick right now, I have exams, an university admission exam, and my birthday this month. Besides, I'm reading Games of Thrones and I like to read these books really slowly.
I really feel like choosing this word is cheating somehow, though. I promise I will read the longest words for July.
Good luck with your reading,
Michelle
