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 you have never heard of before. — Until You're Mine, Samantha Hayes (picked it up purely for its purple spine for the #rainbowthon, 368 pages, 4 stars)
10 points: Read a book that won a Goodreads “Best Book” award in 2014. — The Opposite of Loneliness, Marina Keegan ("Best Nonfiction of 2014," 240 pages, 4 stars)
20 points: Read a book with the name of a city, state or country in the title. — Tehran at Twilight, Salar Abdoh (240 pages, 2 stars)

PREVIOUS POINTS: 75
TOTAL POINTS: 135

I'm headed out of town for the upcoming long weekend, and I've already downloaded about eight library ebooks to my Kindle. I think that should be enough. ;) None of them actually count for this challenge, but I'm still pretty confident I can finish by August 31!

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

Also, the featured Instagram photo from June is by Kalyn from Geez Louise! Obviously, I'm a sucker for animal friends. :) Keep sharing your photos on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #SCSBC15! I love seeing what y'all are reading.

Sweet boy helping mama read #Voyager before bed; also, score on being in bed before 9. #kalynreads #scsbc15 #parkerkittiez
