This challenge is hosted by Katie's Book Blog
I remember participating in my local library's kids summer reading programs every year from when I was little up until I was too old. Therefore, when I found this very awesome challenge I couldn't resist. I had to sign up. Not to mention just like those years when I was young, there are prizes to win! :) Its not the only reason I'm participating, but it's a nice benefit.
My Goal is to read 35 books, which would keep me pretty close to staying on track with my 2014 goodreads challenge. I feel like I could read a little more since it's over the span of four months, but I don't want to push it since it is the summer and I have a family vacation among other things going on.
