Summer Reading: Get Booked!

I hope you had a good Memorial Day, stacking up your books on the nightstand or desk, putting them in order for —

Oh, maybe that was just me. 

Anyway, summer reading has begun, so get with the program!

Summer reading means long days and humid nights reading any book you darned well choose. We count books read between the Friday before Memorial Day and the first Sunday in autumn. In 2018, that is Friday, May 25 through Sunday, September 23.

I have an idea of what is going on my list, and I will share my TBR with you soon.

If you still are thinking about how to spend your summer reading, visit your library (public or private), your local bookstores and thrift shops, yard sales and online book suppliers, friends and family, and choose what books look like they need to be read this summer.


Join the Summer Reading Program and put yourself in the running for a new book. Read as much as you wish  — and if you read the most books during the club reading dates, you will win a book of your own. Seriously. I will give you a book.

To get with the program, just contact me directly or leave a message below. 


Then, at the end of the summer reading period, send me an e-mail or include your reading list in a blog comment. If you read the most, congratulations! If not, you still are a winner because you spent your summer reading. And who knows, you may win a book anyway.


I've already had a few e-mails from eager readers, and I can't wait to read your list!


Even if you don't get with the program, I still would love to know: what's on your summer reading list? Tell me!


And a special shout-out to the artists of the 2018 Summer Reading graphic: Beth Wilson and her DoodleCats!
