Birthday Month Challenge

Birthday Month Reading Challenge 

Hosted by Lois at You, Me, & a Cup of Tea

• How this challenge works is that each month you read a book by an author who has his or her birthday in that month. So for example in December you could read a book by Jane Austen because her birthday is December 16th and in July you could read a book by J.K. Rowling because her birthday is July 31st. So you will end up reading twelve books all together for this challenge.
