mishall ✧ (incandescentglow) hello everyone!
since pride month (june) is coming up, sophie and i decided it would be fun to do a pride month reading challenge with the roygbiv rainbow flag.

your goal is to read a book for each prompt given for every colour of the rainbow.


here are the prompts -

red - book with a gay mc
orange - book with a bi/pan mc
yellow - book with a trans mc
green - book with an a-spec mc
blue - book with a nonbinary mc
indigo - book with a poc queer mc
violet - historical/classic book by a queer author (eg. oscar wilde, virginia woolf, etc.)


-----------------------------------

rules:

1. the challenge only lasts for the month of june 2022 (june 1st - june 30th)

2. to sign up, list your name and state that you are participating underneath this post.

3. you are required to read ONE book for each prompt.

4. you are allowed to read more than one book for a particular prompt, but it will not count towards the challenge.

5. you cannot submit one book for two or more prompts. a separate book is required for each prompt to complete the challenge.

6. you cannot submit books you have read prior to june. reread DO count, however if you have not read the book during the challenge, the book isn't valid.

7. the book is required to be at least 50 or more pages long.

8. we are keeping the challenge casual and simple, so there will be no points system.

9. this is an individual challenge, meaning you cannot team up with someone else to finish all the prompts.

10. you will submit all the books you have at the same time once you have finished the challenge. to submit your books, you will list your name and the books you have read for each prompt/colour in the 'SUBMISSIONS - pride month reading challenge!' discussion in this folder.

11. even if you have not fully completed the challenge, feel free to submit the books you HAVE read for any of the prompts as well.

12. you are not required to read a book for each prompt in the order of the prompts (eg. you can read a book for blue's prompt first if you want). however, do list all your books in the order of the colours when submitting.

------------------------


there will also be a 'GENERAL CHAT - pride month reading challenge!' discussion in this folder for you all to talk about the challenge and even share your tbrs for the challenge :)


if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or sophie!
good luck everyone, and we hope you have fun <3
