Off The Deep End: My Summer Reading Challenge

May 27, 2009 By

It’s official: I’m finally doing a challenge!  Thanks to everyone who suggested titles–I’m still accepting suggestions (until I have 35 books)–for my first Reading Challenge.  Clearly I won’t be mistaken for a graphic artist, but I tried my best!  I may tweak it a bit before it’s finally ‘done’.

    I’m curious! Other than getting a 35 book lists from blogger, what will your “rules” be? Will you try to read them all, or only part of them? (Meanwhile, I’m gonna try to think of a book for you!)

          rules? i have to have rules? how about these:

          1. books must be read between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend.

          2. i will link to and thank bloggers for their suggestions on either my sidebar or on a new page dedicated to my challenge.

          3. i won’t write reviews of the books, but will rate them on my bookmark scale.

          are those enough rules? hee hee.

            i’m going to try my best! i don’t work in the summer, so i have some extra time on my hands. i can ride my bike to the beach and fill my basket with books!!! without the pressure of reviewing the books, this challenge should be a bit easier.

              Good luck with the challenge! I’m already in over my head, but this does sound tempting!

                I love the button you created. There is no way that I can read so many books during the summer though. I’ll stop by to cheer you on though!

                    Question: Will you thank the bloggers if you hate the book? ;)

                      Good luck with the challenge! I’m excited to hear all about it. I’m also going to suggest The Power of Now if you haven’t read that one already. :)

                        yes, i’ll thank them for taking the time to suggest. whether or not i like the book is another story. i saw this quote on a book blog and it’s SO true: we never read the same book.
