Does this not sound like fun ??!!??  Perfect excuse to let family members know that they are on their own for cooking, cleaning, etc etc.  Saw this in my GoogleReader via Caroline Bookbinder’s Blog.  Thank you Caroline.  Tomorrow is the 1st of 2 for 2010,  Do Nothing But Read Day.  I’m signed up, books are in my pile,  plan on getting a good night’s sleep, coffee pot set on automatic and ready to go.

Why do I need your information? Well, like last time, I’m going to do a drawing of everyone who officially signs up and give you a fantastic prize of books and other goodies. I promise I won’t give away anything you put in the form.
Bottom line: sign up and you could win stuff!
About DNBRD

In December of 2009, Amanda Lanyon-LeSage said something on Facebook that could possibly change the world. She merely wished that she could take a day off and do nothing but read. Her idea was seconded–and thirded and fourthed–and then it happened for real.
The first Do Nothing But Read Day was held on Sunday, December 20, 2009.
In 2010, there will be two editions of Do Nothing But Read Day:
June 27 and December 19.

Have you heard??  Julie from My Book Retreat is hosting a Summer Reading Challenge.  I remember that I was probably the only kid who looked forward to Summer Reading when I was in school a few, many, many many, ok…in the days when the only transportation to school was one’s feet  lol.  So I had to join in.  How about you?  Criteria from Julie’s blog and link provided below along with my list of books. 

Here’s how you can participate in this Summer Reading Challenge, which will take place from June 21 – September 21.
  Create a list of the books you’d like to read or finish during this summer season. There’s no minimum and no requirements as to the type of books you put on your list ~ it’s all up to you how many you include, and whether they’re beach reads or classics or something in between.
  Write a blog post with the list of books you want to read ~ and any other summer reading goals ~ and post it on your blog.
  Come back here on June 21st to sign up. I’ll have a Linky set up that morning, so you can link up to your own Summer Reading Challenge post.
  Read! Work through your list of books throughout the summer. Write reviews if you’d like. Have fun!
  Write a wrap-up post at the end of summer to report on your results.
  Come back here on September 21st to link your wrap-up post to the Linky I’ll post that day.
If you’re joining this Summer Reading Challenge, I encourage you to visit other participants to see what they’re reading. You may find some new books to add to your own TBR list. If you think you’d like to participate, leave a comment below so I can get an idea of how many people might want to join. Also, if you do plan to join, let me know if you’d like me to set up a Linky for keeping track of review posts as well. I’d be happy to do so if people are going to use it!
My List:
   1.  Still Missing by Chevy Stevens
   2.  Dare To Die by Carolyn Hart
   3.  I Can See You by Karen Rose
   4.  Never Let You Go by Erin Healy
   5.  Returning Injury by Becky Due
   6.  Through Hazel Eyes by  Heather Hummel
   7.  Muffins & Mayhem by Suzanne Beecher
   8.  Living In The Hope Of My Imagination by William D. Simpson
   9.  Finding Marco by Kenneth C. Cancellara
 10.  Damaged by Pamela Callow
 11.  Grace Under Pressure by Julie Hyzy
 12.  Revenge Served Cold by Jackie Fullerton
I will probably add more to the list depending on how much I get read.  But isn’t this great?  It is bringing back memories of when I used to sit under the shade of a big tree we had in our yard, with my pile of books and a big glass of lemonade. 

The Challenge is over as of 12 midnight last night.  I didn’t quite make it but came pretty darn close.  I finished 2 books and wrote reviews for both.  I want to thank Kristen for hosting and hoping she does another Read-A-Thon.  My final tally is:
