The Summer Reading Challenge: June 1st to September 1st


Hi, everyone! Time for a 2013 Reading Challenge!!


This challenge is being hosted by Jen at Momma Blogs A Lot!

Here are the details copied from Jen's blog:
The Summer Reading Challenge

I’d love it if you would join me and challenge yourself this summer to read the books (or magazines or newspapers, etc) that you have been meaning to read. Nothing complicated – pick some books or pick a number or any other reading related goal that you want to tackle this summer and go for it! We can check in with each other over the course of the summer and cheer each other on as we reach our goal!

I know the summer season is a little different for everyone, depending on when your kids get out of school, so feel free to hop in on the challenge whenever you like. I’ll plan to officially start the challenge June 1st (a Saturday) and finish on September 1st. I’ll post a linky on June 1st where you can share your summer reading goals and another linky on September 2nd where you can submit posts about how your challenge went.
If you would like to join me in the challenge, click on the challenge badge at the beginning of this post.
