Challenges
Day 3: Literary Villain: Who are your favorite literary bad guys? Can be a villain, a not-so-good-guy, or anti-hero.
Can’t really think about anyone but I didn’t like Imogen from Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart.
Finished reading
Day 4: Book Trip: Share books set in places you want to visit. Make a road trip of settings in the US or a dream vacation. Or you can think outside the box and choose fantasy, paranormal, historical, or sci-fi setting. Like Hogwarts!
Day 5: Bookish Playlist: What’s a song that always reminds you of a certain book? Is it something the characters listen to? Do the lyrics remind you of the plot? Make a list of at least three songs and match them each with a book.

Day 7: Stretch Goal: Look at the goals you set for the week and decide a) how you can stretch yourself to complete them or b) how you can revise them so you can meet them.
Gonna try to read half of my second book if not all. Today being a major festival, this might be a bit of a stretch.
