Welcome to July, and the seventh month of the Read with MLC 2025 Reading Challenge! This month’s goal is to read a book that celebrates the United States. What exactly does that mean? Well, that’s up to you! You could:
- Choose a book about a trailblazing American or someone who fought to uphold the rights and privileges afforded us of our nation.
- Select a book that features American culture, identity, or tradition.
- Read a book you think qualifies as a “great American novel” or something that you consider a classic of American literature.
- Snuggle up with a book about an iconic American person, town, or event.
- Settle in with a book that covers the history of our nation, either of the nation as a whole, or a small micro-history of special interest to you.
- Pick a book set in your favorite state or the state where you were born or live.
The possibilities are infinite. Tell us which book you chose in the comments!
