I have been mischaracterizing this as the Summer Reading Challenge, but it really was the Summer Reading Program. Why is it more of a challenge in the winter? Because you have to pick five books from predetermined categories? Don’t know. But this involved activities as well, which is why I have not participated in the past (as I mentioned when I started the program).
Well, five books and five activities are not a lot for me given 1) I read a lot of books anyway and 2) I’ve got a lot of time on my hands these days.
So, without further ado, here is my completed board. Instead of just Xing off the activities, I used Microsoft Publisher to paste selfies and the covers of the books on the board.
I might consider doing all the activities as I try to read books in all fifteen categories in the Winter Reading Challenge, but many of the activities are not destinations but instead are doing things like downloading the library app, attending a book discussion, and so on. Things I’m not interested in doing.
I will, however, continue to look for things to do whilst my youngest son and I have free time this summer.
Oh, and the prize for the summer reading program? A window decal saying you love the library and a pen. So: Not exactly worth $70 in mulch and phlox. Fortunately, though, they look decent yet.
