As I type this post, I’m sitting in our family room, pretending not to hear my 3-year-old’s requests to “Go OUTside!” Why? Because it is H.O.T. And personally, I’d prefer to enjoy the air conditioning just a little while longer.
It’s clear that spring is taking its leave, and along with it goes Spring Reading Thing 2009. I want to thank all of those who participated. We ended up with 243 participants — fantastic! Thank you for spreading the word, sharing your love of books, and 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 2009 Reviews post up for a few more days. (As I write this, there are 418 reviews posted — unbelievable! If you’re looking for your next book to read, check it out; it’s a terrific resource.)
And…there are still two Amazon.com gift certificates up for grabs — one for $15 and one for $5. To be eligible, please post your wrap-up post (and put it on the Mr. Linky) by midnight EST on June 23rd to get your name in the drawing. I’ll announce the winners on Thursday, June 25th.
Thanks again to all the participants. I’ve enjoyed reading with you! I hope you’ll be back this fall to join me for Fall Into Reading 2009.

Hoping to get another review up today or tomorrow too!

Thanks so much for organizing this and inspiring more reading in my life. It’s been really fun to get back into reading this spring!
This was a fun challenge. Thanks!
Thanks so much for organizing and hosting this challenge, Katrina! It was a lot of fun.
Thanks for a great challenge!
Wow–I didn’t realize how much I would benefit by participating in your challenge. Thanks for all you did to make it happen. I cleared my bookshelves off a little, and learned a whole lot.
thanks again…..I always read more than I think I will!!
Can’t believe Spring is over. Thanks as always for hosting this. Look forward to reading with you in the Fall.
Thanks, once again, for hosting, Katrina. This was such fun!
How are you liking Pride and Prejudice?
Thank you for another fun challenge. I’m already lining books up for the fall challenge, looking like a more series reading lineup.
Thanks for hosting this Challenge it was great to have a goal to work towards. I will definitely be signing up for the fall challenge.
Thanks, I always enjoy it! And this time I made myself read some of my sister Stacy’s books that I borrowed and had way too long; I was glad to take them back to her recently! Of course, she had another big stack for me so I never seem to stay ahead.
I’m hoping the link works. I’m not able to view my blog’s homepage for some reason. Every time I try to view it I get an error message and it says the operation was aborted. There’s nothing wrong with my connection, so I hope you guys are able to view it if you try.
One of these days I’m going to remember to do my post as I go along throughout the challenge so it’s not so overwheming at the end!!
Thanks for always hosting this!
Thank you, as always! I’m looking forward to fall!
Thanks Katrina! Can’t wait until Fall.
Yeah I made it . . . and I even remembered to do the wrap-up post. (Go ahead, ask me what book I didn’t love!)
Thank you so much for hosting Katrina. It was fun!
Thanks so much for organizing this. I’m so glad I found your blog!
Such fun. Thanks for being a gracious hostess, Katrina:)
