Believe it or not, today is the first day of summer. So put down your pencils books, pick up your computer mouse, and type up a post letting us know how the Spring Reading Thing went for you!
A week ago, I listed some suggested questions that you might want to answer in your wrap-up post, so feel free to check those out and use them as an outline for your post. Or just write whatever you’d like, as long as you share your experience and results. Once your post is up, come here and sign up on the Mr. Linky below. Don’t forget — include the URL to your wrap-up post, not just your general blog web address, to make it easy for people to find your post.
Also, if you have any final book reviews you’d like to post, I’ll leave the Mr. Linky on the Spring Reading Thing reviews post up for a few more days. (And if you haven’t been by that post lately, check it out. There are a ton of book reviews — you’re sure to find some books to add to your own to-read-soon list!) I’ll also be picking the winner of the book How Reading Changed My Life tonight, chosen from those who have posted at least one book review from their Spring Reading Thing list (and told me about it).
And…there’s still a $10 Amazon.com gift certificate up for grabs. All you have to do is post your wrap-up post (and put it on the Mr. Linky) by midnight on June 24th to get your name in the drawing.
To everyone who participated in the Spring Reading Thing — Thank you so much! You are the ones that made this challenge a success!
Okay, enough of my blabbing. Here’s Mr. Linky. I can’t wait to read everyone’s wrap-ups!

Thanks so much, Katrina for hosting this. It has been fun and challenging, and I’ve even learned a little about myself. Can’t beat that!!
My first challenge completed this year … thanks for hosting!
This was a great challenge for me – thanks again for all the work you put into this one!
Katrina,
Thanks so much for hosting the spring reading challenge. You are a marvelous host! Blessings….
Thanks, Katrina, it’s been lots of fun! Here’s to fall!
Thanks Katrina. My wrap up is posted.
Katrina, I will miss not having you host the summer read but fall is just around the corner! Thanks so much for being the hostess with the mostest!
Thanks so much for hosting, Katrina – I loved the challenge and can’t wait until the Fall challenge!
Yay – I finished 16 books. Half not on my list but come on over and see my weird justification!
thanks for this! I love keeping track of the books I read, even if I end up reading an embarrassing amount (*cough* 80 *cough*)!
I’ll be keeping track on my own this summer, but look forward to fall!
Hello, I came here from Baseballs and Bows blog – I wish I would have found your blog when this all started, it sounds like something I would have REALLY loved to do. Will you be doing it again sometime?
Great blog, I’ll be back again!
God bless
Carrie – yes, I’ll be doing another reading challenge this fall. Hope you can join in!
Thanks for challenging us this Spring! It has been fun!!! I will be checking back in September to join the Fall Reading Thing for sure . . . I’ll probably check back before then, too
Have a great summer!
I was afraid I didn’t do a good job reading, but I realized I read almost all of my list. Thanks for hosting and I’m looking forward to fall!
Thanks again so much for hosting this! It has been fun. I will enjoy reading others’ wrap-ups, though it may take me several days.
Oh, I wish you were doing one this summer, Katrina, since this is my prime reading time!
Anyway, thanks again…I posted mine late last night!
Thank you so much for hosting!! This was a lot of fun!
Can’t wait to get around and read everyone reports.
Thanks for hosting and all the hard work you did with the book giveaways.
Thanks so much for doing this again, so inspiring. When I get a chance I’ll be back to check out all the reviews! have a great summer.
Hi! I am new to blogging and would love to join the reading in the fall. I will keep checking your site. I love your blog name!
Thanks for hosting, Katrina! You did a great job with everything, especially the giveaways!
I’m doing a relatively easy contest at West of Mars, if anyone would like to check it out. Read and review and be entered for a prize. It’s that easy.
Thanks for a great challenge!
Thanks for the challenge! I needed the “nudge” to get reading again.
Thank you so much for the Challenge and the book give-aways. I actually won one of the books and can’t wait to get started on it. (After I read all of these wonderful book reviews.) I finally posted all of my reviews and my response to the challenge–and it’s still the 21st! (I’m a procrastinator, so this is a BIG thing.) Thank you again for the challenge–it forced me to sit and read books for me rather than just for work or other people.
I posted my wrap up this morning and forgot to sign the Mr. Linky. Thanks for hosting this challenge. It was fun!
Thanks for being a wonderful host! I am already working on my list for the fall!

Looking forwards to September – see you then
Mine’s up, thanks for doing this, Katrina-it was fun!

I just wrote my wrap-up post. Thanks for hosting the challenge! I lost track of time but I enjoyed the two I read.
Thanks, Katrina. This was so much fun! I’ll see y’all this fall.
It was a wonderful challenge, Katrina. Thank you, and see you in the fall!
A little late, but here I am. I didn’t finish all the books on my list (in fact *gasp* I lost one!), but I added a couple as well.

Katrina, this was great and I’m already putting together my fall list! Chrissy
I wasn’t sure if I would complete the challenge, but I finished the last book yesterday. Great challenge and I look forward to participating in the fall!
Thanks so much for hosting this, Kristina. Silly me, I forgot to comment when I added my name to your Mister Linky yesterday. I hope you’re feeling a better soon. {{{Hugs}}}
Thanks Katrina! It was fun.
Better late than never — at least I’m still in time to win the prize! Thank you Katrina, for hosting. This was so much fun, and I can’t wait to jump into the fall challenge! (After a relaxing summer, of course!) So many books, so little time…

Thanks Katrina
Thanks, Katrina for this wonderful opportunity to participate! I definitely look forward to the fall challenge. Have a wonderful weekend!
My SRT wrap-up post.
Just remembered to do the wrap up. I think I’m a day ahead of things this time instead of a few hours too late, right? Right?
My first reading thing! My first blog contest win! My first book reviews! I’ll plan on doing it again in the fall.
Thanks for all of the work you put into this. You are a great hostess!
Thanks for hosting this challenge. =) It was my first and definitely won’t be my last.
I loved being a part of the Spring Reading Thing. Thanks for organizing this.
Becky
