Yesterday, I took the kids to ride bikes on some nearby trails, and then introduced L. (4) to his very first Italian Ice. It was a perfect and refreshing end to the bike ride because all three of us were hot and sweaty. Why? Because it was almost 90 degrees — a sure sign that summer is moving into town.
As summer moves in and spring takes its leave, we also have to say goodbye to Spring Reading Thing 2010. I want to thank all of those who participated. We ended up with 156 participants — a great turn-out! 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, there are still two Amazon.com gift certificates up for grabs — one for $15 and one for $10. 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. I’ll announce the winners on Friday, June 25th.
Thanks again to all the participants. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading with you!

Thanks so much for the challenge. Happy summer reading.
Thanks again. It was helpful to have some external motivation to keep reading when I got bogged down. Will look forward to next time.
I’m actually in the middle of the last book on my original list, but that’s because I just now got the book.
Fun as always. Thanks!
Thanks Katrina ! I’ve enjoyed my spring reading. Hope to see you in the fall.
Katrina, you did spring me into reading more books than I might have completed during this season. Thanks for the challenge. I learned new things through reading and enjoyed several of my books too. I have posted on my blog which I linked to above. http://beingwoven.blogspot.com/2010/06/wrapping-up-spring-reading-thing-2010.html

I enjoyed being part of SRT 2010…thanks for being such a great hostess, Katrina. See you in the fall.
Thanks for hosting the SRT 2010 again! While I didn’t finish all of my books, I think I made wonderful progress with the books I did complete. (I also have some wonderful ideas for other books I want to read from all of the participants.) Thank you again Katrina!

Thanks for hosting Karina, I love taking part in your challenges. I’ll be reading a few books over the summer and will look forward to your Fall Reading Challenge. Happy Summer
Thank you for hosting Katrina. I loved it and cannot picture Spring or Fall without your reading challenges.
I think if I hadn’t read my “extra” books I would’ve finished my other books! I’m glad I got through most of them.
