Summer Reading Challenge -- 2nd Post

I'm now officially back from my vacation.  I was in a place that had no internet coverage (Gasp! Shocking! Astounding! How did he survive?).  I will make sure I keep up on comments and book updates for the summer.  Make sure you read new books this summer and leave a message each time.

Need ideas?  Check out these book lists from the American Library Association:
ALA grades 3-5 summer reading list
ALA grades 6-8 summer reading list

Don't forget to track your status on the Summer Reading Challenge list.

Happy Reading!
