Link Love: World Watecolor Month or One Book July?

I consistently forget about all the monthly challenges that happen throughout the year (Letter Writing Month in February, Inktober, etc) until someone else posts about it and I think to myself, “When am I going to remember to put these events on my calendar so I don’t forget?”

So, even though it’s the 6th of July, I say pick a monthly challenge and start today. Starting a few days late mean you and I only have to do 25 days of the chosen challenge. Will you pick the ink swatch-a-day (ongoing challenge) or World Watercolor Month or even One Book July? Maybe you will pick something completely different?
