forum challenge - august

[lostinthelightss]

hello hello! we are back for another monthly challenge!

the rules are simple - each of these tasks must be completed during this month - that means starting July 1 and ending July 31 in your time zone. reviews can be from anything (review swaps, review thread, review tag, review event, literally any reviews you leave), review responses can be left on any reviews regardless of when they were posted (but you have to respond to the reviews this month, they cannot be reviews you've already responded to), and recommendations should be posted as a blog (if you already have a rec blog, just yeet those right in there!). as we are halfway through the year, it's time to step it up! every month we're adding an extra piece to the regular challenge, and this month, we are asking for an extra recommendation!

the challenge:

• leave 5 reviews
• respond to 10 reviews
• post 2 recommendations
• nominate 1 story for story of the month

the prize: ... the glory of completing a challenge? we'll be working behind the scenes to see what we can come up with, but likely a shoutout in the next bulletin, and maybe some extras as the months progress. if you complete all 12 challenges for every month this year, there may be something extra in it for you as well...  

as always, you can use the following to keep track of your progress, but this exact formatting is not required:

Pardon me, but a bit of confusion here.  The title of this thread is "Forum challenge - August," but the body of the instructions text speaks of tasks being completed between July 1 and July 31.  Is that an error (text copy-pasted from last month without changing 'July' to 'August')?
