Please comment on this post in the following format to check in. Please do not forget page numbers! Remember all books must be at least 200 pages long unless otherwise specified. You may also link to your reviews or own check-in post if you wish, but that is not required. We operate on the honor code here, but I would love to read your posts and/or reviews if you have them! I also ask that you put a simple rating next to each book in your check-in post (on a scale of 1 to 5). Past participants have requested this feature to help them decide what to read next. :)
10 points: Read a book that has been on your TBR list for at least two years. — The Lightning Thief, Rick Riordan (on my TBR list since November 2011, 377 pages, 2 stars)
25 points: Read a book that is part of a series with at least four books. — A Dance with Dragons, George R.R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire Book 5, 1019 pages, 4 stars)
PREVIOUS POINTS: 135
TOTAL POINTS: 170
My final category is the alliterative title, and I just picked up Lost Lake yesterday for my trip to Colorado this weekend. I may actually finish it before August 1, but I'm getting this post set up in advance so I don't have to lug my laptop around. :) So I should definitely be finished by the final check-in! Woohoo!

Please record your progress thus far by August 7 in order to be included in the next scoreboard, which will be posted with the final check-in on September 1. Good luck during the final month!

*Technically, I only promise a future category to the first five finishers of each challenge, but because we had six this time, I would love for each of you to submit a category for the winter challenge! Please leave your category suggestion in a comment on this post or email me before October 1, if you have not done so already.

The featured Instagram photo this month is from Amber of mr. thomas & me. I mean, really—is that not the most coordinated TBR pile ever?! ;) Keep sharing your photos on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #SCSBC15! I love seeing what y'all are reading.
