Summer Reading: Join the Club!
Oh, maybe that was just me.
Anyway, summer reading has begun, so join the club!
Summer reading means long days and humid nights reading any book you darned well choose. The club counts books read between the Friday before Memorial Day and the first weekend in autumn. This year, that is Friday, May 25 through Sunday, September 23.
I am still trying to decide what's on my reading list. After reviewing last year's list and realizing how many of those books remain in my TBR pile, I may skip the list and just wait for the Fall for the Book participant list. (Please note; I always welcome suggestions.)
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 Club 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 join the club, just send me an e-mail or leave a message below. Then, at the end of the summer reading period, send me n 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!

I make sure summer reading is beneficial to my community. I will donate to Main Street Child Development Center, and I will buy new books for the Fairfax County Public Library from its Amazon Wish List.
Hopefully, reading club members also will find a way to help their communities through their reading, or to help share the love of reading with their communities. It's not a requirement, of course, but it certainly is a worthy effort. It doesn't have to be financial support, either — think of what the community wants and needs. Every reader can determine what is within her or his power to bestow.
Even if you don't join the reading club, I still would love to know: what's on your summer reading list? Tell me!
Oh, and if you're like me and adore reading cat cartoons, check out Doodlecats. It's adorable!
