Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

Welcome to the second read-a-thon of 2019. The read-a-thon starts from when you wake up on Friday, June 7 until when you go to sleep on Sunday, June 16, and the goal is to read as much as you can and to have tons of fun.

We’ll be posting a game every day, and there is a Team Challenge. It’s not too late to sign up for the team challenge if you wand.
