On your marks, get set, READ! It’s time again to lace up your sneakers and speed into summer. Take the month to read as many books as you can while enjoying some sun. Pick a nice over-500-page book, a stack of books under 100 pages, or those books that have been on your TBR list for way too long. Anything you choose is fair game!
This is not a sprint, but a way to spend June in the pages! Pick the number of pages or books you would like to read in June and post them below. The goal is to make another dent in your TBR. Who would have thought that by hurrying up and sitting with a book that you could do a marathon? Let’s see how many books we can read and pages we can turn.
I’ll be cheering you along as always!
