• DHASG June 2014 Challenge

LEVEL -> Welcome to June: Read 4-5 books

PROGRESS: 5 books

STATUS: COMPLETED

• An Invitation to a Wedding: June is the biggest month for weddings, so let's read a book which heavily features a wedding in its storyline, even if it's not the main couple's wedding:
• Let's Flip a Coin!: On June 1st, you are allowed to make a decision using a flip of a coin. I don't know if that's the best way to make life decisions, but how about you use this method to decide your next book, and the book you read will count for this challenge.
• ✔ Repeat Repeat Day: June 3rd is Repeat Day. In honor, read a book you've read before, or read the same author two books in a row this month. The repeat book counts for this challenge: Tall, Dark & Lonely by R.L. Mathewson
• ✔ Old Maid's Day: Read a book where the lead is an old maid/spinster or seems like the only one who hasn't gotten married or is in a serious relationship amongst their friends. Historical or contemporary counts: Soulless by Gail Carriger
• Best Friend Day: June 8th is the day to celebrate best friends. Read a book where the lead has a strong friendship with another character that survives the test of time, or a book that features the POV of best friends:
• ✔ Blame Someone Else Day: June 13th is the holiday where you're not responsible for any mistakes made. For this challenge, read a book with external conflict, aka, a villain or antagonist, who is the reason everything goes wrong for the hero. : Perfect by Judith McNaught
• Friday the 13th: Oh no! Read a book to ward off the bad luck of the 13th falling on a Friday this month. The book must be scary, weird, or eerie or have a really freaky villain or character. If you can find a book where the lead is superstitious, that will count. Or you can read the 13th book in your tbr pile or a book with thirteen letters in its title. Please let us know which one you choose in parentheses.
• ✔ Your Love is Better than Ice Cream!: National Chocolate Ice Cream Day celebrated on June 7th, let's celebrate the comfort of diving into a scoop of chocolatey goodness ice cream. How? By reading a book that has a supremely satisfying romance. Love is like chocolate, get it?: Paradise by Judith McNaught
• Daddy Love!: For Father's Day, June 15th, read a book which celebrates fatherhood in any significant way.
• National Splurge Day: Treat yourself to a new book in honor of June 18th (the day to treat yourself to a luxury). To count for this challenge, you must buy yourself a new book and read it this month. You can use a free book so long as you purchased/acquired it this month. Library books and previously owned books don't count.
• Talk Back to that Book!: In honor of National Hollerin Day on the third Saturday of the month, you can count a book that makes you talk back to it or yell at it. If you don't normally do that, use a book that inspired strong emotions in you as you read it this month.:
• ✔ Pick One!: Choose one of the holidays and read a book for it--National Pink Day (Pink book or character loves pink); Log Cabin Day (book with a 'rustic setting'); Forgiveness Day (your choice); Sun Glasses Day (bright cover, or someone wears sunglasses in book); International Panic Day (your choice): Playing for Keeps by R.L. Mathewson
