Hi guys 👋🏼
Happy Summer Holiday’s. This year’s is very much needed.
Now, every year, I volunteer for the Library’s ‘Summer Reading Challenge’ for Children. I volunteer for a day at my local library, and I love it.
I love seeing the children come in and excitedly tell me all about the book that has captured their imagination that week, what happened, what they liked about it, their favourite part. Fostering, encouraging, and indulging a love of reading in children is just magical.
This year is my 11th year volunteering (10th if you don’t count Covid 2020 as the challenge was only online) so I thought that I would set myself a little reading challenge too.
The premise of the Summer Reading Challenge is to complete six books over the Six Week holiday. Over the last few months, I have definitely picked up my reading speed, so I thought, why not choose six books of my own to try and read over the six weeks.
It’s a little daunting, but I thought it would be a good challenge and a bit of fun too. I do get to do some reading in-between people at the library and obviously I have a bit more free time as it’s the school holidays.
So, Here are my Summer Reading Challenge Picks:
- Fairy Tales by Stephen King
- Confess by Colleen Hoover
- The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
- The Summer Job by Lizzy Dent
- The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell
- + one other tbc
I tried to go for a variety of books – obviously, a couple had to be my Book Club books, as this still takes place during the summer hols, which made choosing a lot easier. I still have one spot left that I am planning on being another Book Club book, depending on when our next meeting falls (I do have a backup if not)
Here goes! Wish me luck.
What’s on your reading list this Summer?
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
