Summer Reading Challenge Concludes
It's over. I finally have to admit that summer is over for our family. I hope that the Summer Reading Challenge was fun and beneficial (for something other than keeping you from needed housework ::wink::).

The randomly selected Winner of a $10 gift certificate from Amazon goes to Gilda. Thanks for the fun ladies.

Katrina will begin her Fall Into Reading 2007 challenge on September 23rd. She's already got info up if you'd like to hop on over to her blog for details.

DeEtta,
I am so excited! I was just thinking yesterday how I did not get very much read this summer but more than I would have had I not done the challenge. I just got on you blog to read the update on Destinee. Imagine my surprise when I read about the reading challenge. What fun!

I'll figure out how to send that certificate tomorrow. LOL I figure if I get totally stuck, Lisa can help unstick me. LOL

Now I'm knitting lol and schooling. School is getting in the way of my life!!

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

LOL Kelly! Don't forget the fall challenge. LOL

De'Etta, thanks for having the Summer Reading challenge. I read much more than I thought time would allow.

I just got six more books from bookmooch.com to add to my fall challenge.

Oh, and thanks for recommending the Yada Yada Prayer Group books. I read the first one and loved it!

Thanks to your challenge I read more than I would have read this summer... even if my list is still quite long I'm still happy to have marked some things off the list!

Glad the challenge helped. I find the fall to be my biggest challenge for finding time to read. I am going to participate in Katrina because I've found that it's good for me to make time to read...

DeEtta--
Thanks for hosting the summer challenge. I didn't quite make my goal, but I DID come close. :) I wrote a wrap up post on my blog. I am going to try to post a link to it.
