Calling All Summer Reading Challenge Participants

Well? Well? How did you do? For those who may be wondering what in the world is the Summer Reading Challenge you can read here for a quick recap.

Remember this was NOT a contest nor a race. This was just about trying to read more. So all you challenge participants, did you meet your goal? What was your favorite book? Would you participate in a reading challenge again?

My goal was to read 21 books. I finished 22 books.

1. Daddy Needs A Drink by Robert Wilder
2. Nine Months in August by Adriana Bourgoin
3. The 6th Target by James Patterson
4. A Sister's Secret by Wanda Brunstetter
5. Lean Mean 13 by Janet Evanovich
6. Home Again by Kristin Hannah
7. The Last Summer (of You and Me) by Ann Brashares
8. Second Chance by Jane Green
9. Bygones by Kim Vogel Sawyer
10. The Knitting Circle by Ann Hood
11. Sanibel Flats by Randy Wayne White
12. How To Be Cool by Johanna Edwards
13. Cocktails for Three by Madeline Wickham
14. Summer by the Sea by Susan Wiggs
15. The Yummy Mummy by Polly Williams
16. The Note - Angela Hunt
17. Saving Alice - David Lewis
18. Summer - Karen Kingsbury
19. Going Home by Wanda Brunstetter
20. The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus
21. Just Beyond The Clouds - Karen Kingsbury
22. Mommy Tracked - Whitney Gaskell

As far as my favorite, I don't really have one. I read so many different types of books that I can say something good about each one. I recommend reading all of them! (Yes I am an indecisive person)

Can't wait to hear how everyone did! And stay tuned. There will be more challenges in the future.

Join the Challenge

Come join the Summer Reading Challenge sponsored by Ramblings From Life (hey that's me!)

This will be so fun! Here are the guidelines:

This is not a contest. This is not a race. This is simply encouragement to READ more. It's not about quality or quantity so much. After all, when our kids see us read, we encourage them to read. And exercising our brains is good too. It's really just about celebrating your love of reading and trying to read more.

The challenge starts June 1 and will end on Labor Day (September 3). Respond to this post with the number of books you plan to read. Then post on your own blog about this challenge and invite others to join. I will post weekly or bi-weekly my own progress and what books I have read. Feel free to do the same. And late joiners are always welcome so do not feel you have to be married to the June 1 start date.

Again, remember this is NOT a contest nor a race. This is just about trying to read more.

Have fun!!
