  2. Wizard of Time - G.L. Breedon
  3. The Moon Dwellers - David Estes (Audio review - given by the Publisher)
I did participate in a Book Photo Challenge, but only made it through I believe the 14th due to the fact that my motivation simply flew away and I spent the rest of the month having the urge to do nothing more than sit on my behind and read.  However, if I attempt another one in August, hopefully it will be more successful!  You can find the link to the photos that I did complete in the sidebar to your right!
