Week 24- Summer Reading Challenge

[Joanna]

There was no fooling you all. Dame Agatha Christie made front page headlines when she disappeared for 10 days and was later found at a hotel. No explanation was ever given.

Do you know where the oldest bookstore in the world is located? Take a guess here.

The Summer Reading Challenge has begun! Have you all signed up yet? If not, head over to this link to sign up. Even if you signed up last year, you will still need to create a new account.

Of course, with Summer Reading, comes prizes! We're changing things up a bit this year. You get a total of 10 raffle tickets - one for signing up and one for each week you read at least one book. You can pick up your raffle ticket at any branch where there will be a list of the prize baskets. Fill out the ticket with the number of the prize basket you want to be entered for. At the end of the summer, we will draw for all the baskets.

We have some really great prizes this year so make sure you come in and fill out those tickets each week.

What is everyone reading this week? I finished two books over the weekend: And Then There Were None and Sun, Moon, Earth, which was about eclipses. This week, I'm working on rereading A Countess Below Stairs and Jane Austen, the Secret Radical.

Happy Summer Weather!

I am reading a few this week. Right now I am about midway through Killers of the Flower Moon which is pretty good. Also making my way through The Horse Dancer. I usually love her books but this one is dragging. I picked up The Ministry of Utmost Happiness which I will try to get to this week. On my kindle I have The End We Start From ready to go for those wake up at 2am and can't fall back to sleep nights.

I have to stop at CPL as my library card is expiring. Can't let that happen!

Happy Reading Weather!
I'm still reading Night Embrace by Sherrilyn Kenyon and The Orchid Affair by Lauren Willig. I think I'm in a reading slump. Although I'm also still binge watching Glee, and listening to songs from musicals (mostly Rent, and Wicked, and Hamilton), and trying to find a place in my bookcases for the mountain of books that has taken over my coffee table (I must clear it off before I go to Orlando and come home with another mountain of books). :)
