Stay tunes to find out the announced challenge for June.

The announced June Challenge.

June is around the corner. June is a big milestone for C&B. We started as a group of one, myself. And we have grown so large. But never underestimate the power of ONE.

This month's challenge is the Singular challenge. Read books that have a single word as their title. No more, no less (if that is possible....). Books can be hyphenated, but they still must remain as a single word/title. "A," "The," "If," etc counts as a word. So, no you cannot exclude the "little" words to make up a single!

Happy Reading!

Love the idea!

Loot 6/15/14

1. Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand Completed 06/02
2. Juliet by Anne Fortier Completed 06/03
3. Betrayal - Danielle Steel completed 06/24

I'll join. Not sure what they will be but i have a month to find as many as i can lol!!!

Question?!? We aren't including books that has "The" and "A" as part of the title for example, The Giver would be considered a singular title. Correct?

I'll read the Legend trilogy for this challenge!

Glancing through my book stacks I found several books with singular titles. I probably won't read all of them this month but have these to choose from: Dragonwings by Yep; Rascal by North; Inferno by R. M. Allen; and Brazil by Updike. I decided to start with Rex by Joyce Stranger.

Am I the only one who can't get excited about finishing Insurgent? :)

Message #2 from Rachel Skye "Books can be hyphenated, but they still must remain as a single word/title. "A," "The," "If," etc counts as a word. So, no you cannot exclude the "little" words to make up a single!"

Stardust by Neil Gaiman, finished 6/5/14

Oh, I love this challenge. I have a couple on my to-read shelf that I'm considering: Disneywar by James B. Stewart and Serena by Ron Rash.

Thank you Amber for clarifying! So that means for you, Rachel, "The Giver" would count as two, not one :)

Gotta get creative on this one! Weed out those pesky little Singulars!

You're welcome Rachel!
Congratulations on your graduation!!!!!!

Thank you!! You are the sweetest :)

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, finished 6/6/14

good book, but ew. lol

I finished my first book. Rex may be a book about the devotion between a boy and his dog but it is not a children's story. I could relate so much to Moira, Johnny's mother. The people living on the Scottish fells were interesting.
Now on to Rascal. I think this one is a children's animal story. I may have read it years ago but don't remember.

I've only got one so far....

Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse

So far all I've managed is a one word title play Loot

Witness � � 15June14

Panic by Lauren Oliver finished 6/16/14

Unwind by Neal Shusterman

Let me suggest my book, Rage, book 2 in my AJ Garrison Crime Novels series. The judge orders Garrison to represent/defend a high school student charged with murdering his English teacher. A powerful book.

finished Insurgent on 6/10

I just read Hexe, which was an interesting look at post-war Germany in a small town.

Pinocchio - 6/10/14

Just finished Unwind by Neal shusterman.

I forgot to post here!
I just finished Siddhartha on 6/21/14.
