Please comment on this post in the following format to check in. Please do not forget page numbers and to rate your books. Remember all books must be at least 200 pages long unless otherwise specified. Also, you don't get any points for the antonym challenge until you finish both books for that category. (If your points look a little off above than what you reported, that's probably why.) Here's what I read during the month of June:
10 points: Read a book from the children’s section of the library or bookstore. — The Phantom Tollbooth, Norton Juster (256 pages, 5 stars)
20: Read a book with “son(s),” “daughter(s)” or “child(ren)” in the title. — The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edwards (401 pages, 2 stars)
PREVIOUS POINTS: 45
TOTAL POINTS: 75
I'm currently reading Code Name Verity, which I don't think I can even use for this challenge, but I've been hearing about it everywhere, so I just had to try it!

Please record your progress thus far by July 10 in order to be included in the next scoreboard, which will be posted with the third check-in on August 1. Also, please let me know if you would like to change the way I listed your name and/or blog name above, and I will update my spreadsheet before posting the next scoreboard. :) Good luck!
