The summer is perfect for book a day. Well, all summers are, but I want an excuse to read a lot. Anyway, Donalyn Miller, an amazing reading advocate, has an annual challenge for people to live their best lives in the summer.
My summer is being defined as June-August. I hope to finish a book on each day, but if I finish two I'll list them and use them for any days I don't finish anything. Some days are like that! I have no idea how to use hashtags on Goodreads, but I'll try to put weekly updates on Facebook or something. I already post a book a day on twitter, so maybe I'll remember there sometimes.

Wow, a book a day! That's impressive! Will those be mostly picture books or longer ones, too? Either way, it's an impressive goal and. great way to spend the summer!
