Time has gotten away from me. I usually like to put up a post one full week before the closing of a reading challenge, but the end of Spring Reading Thing 2009 has apparently been sneaking up on me without my noticing.
In other words… We only have 5 more days in this challenge!
Saturday, June 20th is the last day of spring, and therefore, the last day of Spring Reading Thing 2009. My goal this week is to somehow finish the three books I’m currently reading, but I honestly don’t know if that’s going to happen.
Either way, when Saturday arrives, I’ll be putting up a Mr. Linky where participants can link to their own wrap-up posts. The post will go live at 8:00 a.m. EST on Saturday. Remember, you must post a wrap-up post on your blog (and enter it on the Mr. Linky I’ll have up Saturday) by midnight on June 23rd in order to be eligible to win one of the two Amazon.com gift certificates I’ll be giving away.
Not sure what to include in your wrap-up post? There are no official rules — we’d just like to see how the challenge went for you! But if you are someone who likes a little more structure, here are some questions you can answer as part of your wrap-up. Pick and choose whatever works for you!
- Did you finish reading all the books on your spring reading list? If not, why not?
- Did you stick to your original goals or did you change your list as you went along?
- What was your favorite book that you read this spring? Least favorite? Why?
- Did you discover a new author or genre this spring? Did you love them? Not love them?
- Did you learn something new because of Spring Reading Thing 2009 — something about reading, or yourself, or a topic you read about?
- What was your favorite thing about the challenge?
That should be enough to get your started, but remember — make it work for you.
See you back here on Saturday, June 20th!
I was just telling my daughter Amanda, who is participating this year for the first time, that she needed to work on her list. We’re ready!
yikes.. well my list is done.. but I can’t believe how fast the challenge went this year!!
I’m pulling my list together and working on the post.
That went fast!
Wow. I knew this was coming, but it always sneaks up. And writing the post is going to be like climbing a mountain! LOL
(BTW – you might want to update your 3rd bullet point from fall to spring.
)
I. cannot. believe. the challenge is over already! Quick….off to see how well I did (or didn’t do)! ;D
ugh. didn’t do as well as i wanted, but . . . working on my post.
Woo Hoo! I made it through. I’ll have my post up and linked by the 23rd. It may not be on Saturday as I’m leaving first thing in the morning and not returning until almost midnight.
