A Great Start to Summer Reading!!
Summer didn't officially begin until Monday, June 21st, but our Teen Summer Reading Club began with a bang on Saturday, June 5th. So far, 166 of you have signed up for the Teen Summer Reading Club, also known as the 5/25 Reading Club since each participant who finishes five books or reads for 25 hours receives a $5 Borders or Barnes and Noble gift card AND a 1/2 hour GameWorks play card.
If you're looking for reading suggestions, be sure to click on Comments at the bottom of this post, where you'll find reviews by other Teen Summer Reading Club members. Want even more reviews? Click here, where we've posted 107 of your reviews. Yes, that's right, 107! We've received so many reviews that from this point on we'll post a selection of the reviews rather than every single one so you're not overwhelmed (and so our fingers remain intact)! But keep those reviews coming! They're wonderful and a great resource for teens looking for their next book! And remember, $20 gift cards will be awarded for the best book review by a middle school student and the best by a high school student.
Just a couple reminders:
If you never created a username or you've forgotten your username, stop by the Readers' Services desk on the 3rd floor and we'll add one to the registration form or look it up for you.
You may have noticed that we added the words, "SPOILER ALERT" at the top of some of your reviews. This is to warn readers that the review reveals the ending of the story or some other important part of the story that potential readers might not want to know before reading the book. If you're reviewing a mystery, it's best not to reveal the ending, since most readers like to discover that when they read the book. (That said, keep those mystery reviews coming! We're really enjoying them!)
Finally, if you haven't registered for summer reading yet, it's not too late! You'll find the online registration form and the online entry form at the top of the Blog of Awesome for the rest of the summer. (You only have to register once.)
Happy reading and keep up the great work!!
