Summer Book Challenge

So here is a challenge that I needed no excuse to sign up for. I already am reading so why not track them too. LOL. Ok so I signed up now how about you?




When: Friday, June 2oth through Sunday, September 21st, 2008.


Where: The blogosphere. Join up using this Mr. Linky. Post your summer reading list on your blog and backlink here. If you don't have a blog, you can use the one I created last year for this very purpose. Simply e-mail your list and reviews to her and she'll post and link you up, making you eligible for prizes.


Why: To promote literacy around the world.


Because we need a reason not to feel guilty when we choose to read instead of mop the floor.How: Make your list and post it on your blog. Then link to your post using the sign-up Mr. Linky. As you read your books, post a review on your blog and link to the review post using the review Mr. Linky. At the end of the challenge, post a wrap-up and link to the wrap-up Mr. Linky (coming in September).


Prizes: Prizes will be books (new or gently read) or book related items. (If you're an author or publisher and you want to provide a prize, send me an e-mail.) I'll give away one prize each week. To be eligible for prizes, you must have signed up on the Mr. Linky here. Beginning July 20th, you must also have posted one review using the Mr. Linky here.

I really love these seasonal challenges. Now there will be four a year, which is great. I think for the next challenge (Fall Thing), I'll be listing all the books on my shelf that isn't already in a challenge. :)
