Liz_M's blurb on Summer Reading Challenge

Summer Reading Challenge: Take Your Summer Reading to New Heights | Julie Ann Price

In the US, summer is bookended by two holiday weekends: Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, and Labor Day, the first Monday in September. 14 weeks.

I challenge you to read 14 books between May 26 and Sep 1, which some of you may remember fondly as #14Books14Weeks.

Show me your stacks!

Liz_M @Librarybelle Me too! 4w

Liz_M @Lcsmcat Whatever works for you! 4w

Liz_M @GinaKButler Sounds like a good way to get some extra motivation! 4w

Liz_M @Deblovestoread If it motivates you to read one book that you wanted to get around to, I'd consider it a win. 4w

Liz_M @kspenmoll Looking forward to the end results, then 4w

ChaoticMissAdventures This is perfect timing, I was doing a 25 in 25 and I am currently failing at it. This is great motivation to tackle 14 of those! 4w

CSeydel @Deblovestoread Same! I think I only read about 3 or 4 because I kept getting library books instead 😂 4w

BookmarkTavern Time has no real meaning anymore. I almost put 2020 on a piece of paperwork like an hour ago! 😂😂😂 4w

tpixie I‘ll try! 4w

Amiable Yes! And the mood reader in me is right there with you, @kspenmoll and @Lcsmcat 😀 4w

Liz_M @Mollyanna My pleasure! 4w

Liz_M @BarkingMadRead Looking forward to seeing what you choose! 4w

Liz_M @tpixie Half the fun is choosing the books. Actually reading one is gravy. 😆 4w

Liz_M @BookmarkTavern My workplace is planning things for 2030. I refuse to believe that is a real year. 4w

Liz_M @ChaoticMissAdventures Glad to provide extra motivation! 4w

tpixie @Liz_M lol 😂 Just like buying books and reading them are two different hobbies! 4w

tpixie @Liz_M Wow! I guess a 5 year plan! Weird! 4w

Catsandbooks I'd like to join in on this! I will get my stack ready! And I love the cat too! Your mom did a wonderful job! 💖 4w

Liz_M @Catsandbooks So happy you're on board! 4w

CarolynM There‘s no way I will stick to the books I choose, but I‘m going to make a stack just for the hell of it and see what happens😆 4w

Liz_M @CarolynM I can't even stick to choosing a stack -- I've made three so far.... 🤣 4w

Liz_M @Read4life Woohoo! 3w

Liz_M @CoverToCoverGirl Yay! 3w

Liz_M @vivastory I can't wait to see what you choose! 3w

Liz_M @BarbaraBB Oh good, I'm sure your choices will add to my TBR! 3w

Liz_M @sarahbarnes Join us? Even if you don't, I know you'll read some great stuff over the summer. 3w

sarahbarnes I‘m in! Will post a pic! Also, unrelated I‘ll be back in NYC this summer for a bit and looking forward to checking out your Brooklyn bookstore recs this time - I didn‘t make it there last summer! 3w

Aconight I‘d love to join. My physical tbr has been staring me down 😅 3w

Liz_M @Aconight please do jump in! Make a stack of books so, if nothing else, they can state at you from a new location! 😂 3w

ShananigansReads I am in. Now to decide if I should focus on books I own or arcs 😩🤔 3w

janeycanuck Thank you for resurrecting this! I was so sad when I realized the original host wasn‘t hanging about on Litsy anymore. I‘ve got a good idea of what will be in my stack - will post this weekend! 3w

Leniverse Tricky, since I'll also be doing Big Book Summer, which is about reading long books 😅 But... I can try to add some short ones too to make up the numbers. 🤔 3w

Liz_M @Leniverse Yeah, I try to read big books that don't have digital versions on my summer visit to Mom's house, with lots of backyard reading time. So I'm not entirely sure my stack is doable, but that's what the challenge part is for. 😁

Also, It's your challenge and surely some of those big books were originally published in several volumes and count as multiple books..... 3w

Leniverse I'm my own worst enemy, so if it's in one volume then it counts as one book ? Exceptions made if it's "The Collected Fiction of". But that Kristin Lavransdatter, no... Counts as one ? 3w

Liz_M @Leniverse It's whatever you want - it's supposed to be a fun motivator to work through a section of your TBR 😊 3w

Leniverse If nothing else it will be fun to put together the stack of 14 books! ♥️ 3w

Liz_M @sarahbarnes Excellent! I feel like @Kitta has also posted about some lovely Brooklyn bookstores recently. 3w

Liz_M @janeycanuck My pleasure! I loved this one - it's the perfect time of year so it's manageable and also motivates me to set get to some of the books from my shelves. 3w

Liz_M @ShananigansReads Yay! Maybe half arcs and half owned-books? 3w

Kitta @sarahbarnes @Liz_M Yes! There‘s some great ones in Brooklyn. In my neighbourhood alone there‘s 3 lol. Cafe con libros, Nonbinarian bookstore and Word of mouth! There‘s also a specific ones for romance (The ripped bodice) in park slope! 3w

kelli7990 I want to join. 3w

Liz_M @kelli7990 Everyone welcome! Just create a physical stack, a virtual list, or a combination of both and post it. 3w

sarahbarnes @Kitta thank you! Excited to check some out this summer! 😁 2w
