READ and then BRAG: July Book Blowout

by Annie Mueller

When I was a kid, every summer we signed up for the Pizza Hut Book-It summer reading program. I read constantly (I didn’t learn my way around my hometown until I actually started driving because I read in the car) so reading the required number of books was no real challenge. And at the end of the summer, we had a party with all the other kids and we got free personal pan pizzas. I liked pineapple on mine. (Still do.)

There’s no pizza promise with this summer reading program, but you do get to join and read and list your books and one winner will get an Amazon gift certificate! I read about it over at The Book Stacks first; it is brought to you by Blue Archipelago.

So get over there and sign up! If you’re in the Missouri region, maybe we can organize our own party at the end… I could still go for a pineapple pizza.
