Summer Book Trek


Where was this last month when I read a bazillion LDS titles!? I decided to accept a challenge this summer and thought I would let you in on it too in case you want to win some prizes! Now that I think about it I probably shouldn't let you in on this so there's more prizes for me! hahaha Okay, okay...I'll let you in on it!

The basic info

What: A summer reading challenge! Read novels by LDS authors.
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.
