More clarifications
Month things are going to start in August and go with calendar months.
Proof will be posted if possible or reasonable.
The books have to be chapter books that I haven't read before (no Cat in the Hat) but I can count books I started prior to the challenge as long as I finish them after today. Ebooks are fine too.
Also: if anyone wants to help with things (which is as easy as coming to a tea party or gingerbread decorating or book lending) you would be most welcome
