Summer heat has been slipping into our days for a while now, and Summer officially makes its entrance tomorrow. Which means, of course, that Spring Reading Thing 2008 has come to an end. I want to thank all of those who participated. We ended up with 226 participants — a great turn-out! Thanks for your enthusiasm about books, for spreading the word, and for reading along with me this spring.
I’d love to hear how the challenge went for each of you. I hope you’ll take the time to write a wrap-up post and link to it using the Mr. Linky below.
Feel free to work from the questions I listed in this post, or just write about your experiences, thoughts, and results in any way you please. Once your post is up, come back 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 2008 Reviews post up for a few more days. (As I write this, there are 473 reviews posted — wow! What a great resource, especially if you’re looking for the next book to read.)
And…there’s still a $10 Amazon.com gift certificate up for grabs. To be eligible, please post your wrap-up post (and put it on the Mr. Linky) by midnight EST on June 24th to get your name in the drawing.
Oh - one more thing. Let me know, either in your post or in a comment here, if you’re interested in another Fall Into Reading Challenge when September rolls around.
Thanks again to all the participants. I’ve enjoyed reading with you!

Thanks for the challenge, Katrina! For once, I actually finished as many books as I said I would — and then some!
Whoohoo!

I did much better getting reviews up this time. (Although I did backdate a bunch this morning.)
And YES, I want a Fall Into Reading.
For anyone interested, I’m doing a summer reading challenge starting tomorrow, hosted on my blog. Come check it out.
Thanks for hosting Katrina! I would love to participate in the Fall Reading Challenge!

Thanks so much Katrina for hosting this challenge was really fun!!
I didn’t do as well this time, but I still read more than I usually do. And I am DEFINITELY interested in another challenge!
Fun stuff! I’m definitely in for fall!
Thank you for hosting and I can’t wait for the Fall Reading Challenge. Lots more good books coming out.
Thanks Katrina! Because of Spring Reading Thing I was able to read a book I normally would’ve kept putting off. Can’t wait until the next challenge.

I finished all my books early but only reviewed one. oh well.
It was a great motivator. I’m looking forward to the fall challenge.
I just posted mine, I had fun reading! If I have time in the fall I would love to do this again, depends on how much time I can find with a newborn and two crazy ones running around
Thanks for the reading challenge Katrina. This is my first year of challenges and I really enjoyed this one – helped me reduce that TBR stack and read a lot of “new to me books.”
Would definitely be interested in a Fall Reading Challenge.

Thanks Katrina! Really enjoyed being a part of SRT 2008 – can’t wait ’til September!
Thanks for hosting another Reading Challenge. While I didn’t finish my list, I did get a good start on the pile. Count me in for the Fall Challenge if you decide to do it.
I just noticed that you’re reading “The Dogs OF Babel”; my bookclub had the most fascinating discussion over this book!
I’
This was a great challenge and really made me think about what I wanted to read. I enjoyed it so much that I sat down and considered what books I’d be reading over the NEXT three months!
Thanks Katrina! Can’t wait to Fall Into Reading. I have to figure out which books to read this summer and which to save for September!
Didn’t do great but I had lots of fun.
I’d be interested in a Fall challenge.
This looks like so much fun! I totally want to participate in the fall. Even though that’s my slowest reading time with PTA, scouts, school, etc. I still manage to carve out time for great books.
i’m very slow getting my wrap-up posted, but it’s up now. thanks, Katrina, for another fun challenge! and i’d definitely love to particpate in “Fall into Reading” again.
