Welcome to 2012 Summer Book Trek!
Look at that artwork?
<——— Isn’t it cute?? (And guys, don’t feel left out. I have buttons for boys, too!)
Who: Calling all fiction readers!!! (If you’re under 18, you have to have your parent’s permission.) You do not have to be LDS to participate.
What: A summer reading challenge! Read books by LDS authors. (Need ideas? See the list in the sidebar or hover over the LDS Fiction tab at the top.)
Set your goals and track your progress. No goal is too small; no ambition too great. Feeling overwhelmed? Make a short list. Finish early? Add more books (or not). Change your mind on a title? Drop it. No pressure, no minimums. Make changes to your list as desired.
Earn points throughout the month. More points = more chances to win books!

Okay, that’s it. Go post your list and let’s get reading!
*Don’t have a blog? I twisted the arm of a friend of mine and she created a blog that you can use to play. Simply e-mail your list to her and she’ll post it and link you up, making you eligible for prizes.
I love your givaways.
Woo-hoo! I’m first on the list!
Oops, my son started finishing his books before August. Will he have to read them again to collect the points?
T, if he started the book after I posted about the contest (7/23), I’ll accept them for the points. If he started before then, no.
I love how flexible this reading challenge is. It’s going to be lots of fun!
I’m excited for this challenge! I had several books by LDS authors on my to-read list, and they just got bumped to the front. I added a few more that looked fun and am ready to get started. Luckily I already have one in audiobook format.
Yea! I am so excited!
Umm, I’m not suppose to be on there twice. Sorry about that. Feel free to remove one of my entries. (;
