When we were young, summer reading was a chore. Nowadays, we try to find the quickest reads to devour while lounging on the beach. But what if we could get more from those book picks?
Here at Early Bird Books, we decided that we want to be inspired by our summer reading this year. So we're challenging ourselves to read three (or six) great books between Memorial Day and Labor Day ... and we want to invite YOU along for the ride. The rules: Everyone picks their own books based on the themes we select, and sharing recommendations and reviews is highly encouraged.
Accept our challenge by entering your email below!
