My daughter was the one really into doing the summer reading challenge this year, and convinced me to sign up. I wasn’t sure if I was going to quite have the energy for it, honestly. But I’ve already crossed off (with squiggles) the items I decided to skip and just count thirty minutes’ reading time for, and completed two books that fit the actual criteria. So well on my way. Looking back at last year and the year before, some of the items are exactly the same, and this year the list is a bit shorter. I don’t mind at all! Summer seems to get shorter every year too, anyway. As far as being bracketed by school attendance, that is. The heat doesn’t leave us here until well into fall!
