As part of the book blogger summer reading program I promised you guys some mini challenges and giveaways! Here’s the first!
It wouldn’t be summer without those fun beach/poolside reads. I don’t know about you guys but I love reading books set during the summertime actually during the summertime. So here’s my challenge to you. You have one month to read at least one book set during the summertime. That gives you until June 13! Shouldn’t be too hard and it should be pretty fun.
Want some suggestions?
-The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares
-Along for the Ride by Dessen
-The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
-Two Way Street by Lauren Barnholdt
-Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols
-The Au Pairs by Melissa de la Cruz
-Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler
-Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour by Morgan Matson
-Endless Summer by Jennifer Echols
These are just some suggestions. You can read any book set in the summertime. And at least 75% of the book must take place over the summer for it to qualify. That’s the only rule though. It doesn’t matter what genre and it doesn’t matter if it’s a re-read.
What can you win?
A book of choice (under $15) from The Book Depository.
What a great idea for a mini challenge! I love reading summer themed books in summer, actually, I really don’t like reading them in the winter. I think because it just upsets me that I’m cold. haha Now I’m off to pick out my summer book. 🙂
I will read The Summer I Turned Pretty. I love Jenny Han. I also love stories taken place in the summer. Makes me wish for my childhood summers. Thank you for this challenge and the giveaway.
I read The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I cried, but I loved it! Awesome challenge idea, thanks for the giveaway!
What if I already read a summer book? My first book was set in the summer. Does that count or do I have to read another one?
That definitely counts. As long as it was read after May 1, you’re good to go!
Awesome then I read Compulsion by Martina Boone! 🙂
Catch a Falling Star by Kim Culbertson! It’s a cute story. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway! What a fun mini challenge idea. 🙂

I read The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen at the beginning of May (and I have many more planned summer books in my summer TBR).
Any Sarah Dessen book would qualify. I have some summer books coming up in my to be read so this should be a fun goal.

Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson. It’s the perfect summer-reading in the hammock book. Technically, I haven’t finished it yet, but I got a good chunk read this weekend and being at work right now (instead of home reading) is killing me! Should be done within the next day or two though 😀
Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour by Morgan Matson !!! Love it!
I’ve just read the first two books in the The Summer I turned Pretty trilogy by Jenny Han. And currently on the third.
I read Second Star by Alyssa B. Sheinmel. It was a great book to read during the summer. It made me feel like I should just be in the water right now. My review won’t be up until June 18th.
