One of the silver linings of the past year in lockdown is that we were able to cross quite a few books off of our TBR lists. But even though we're looking forward to dinners out and spending time with friends, one of the things we don't want to give up from quarantine is our reading goals.
Our solution? Join the 2021 Summer Reading Challenge and just keep reading new books!
This summer, we're challenging you to read six books between now and September. Everyone picks their own books based on the themes we select. Sharing your recommendations and reviews is highly encouraged.
Plus, one lucky winner will receive a grand prize of more than 50 books from our partners! And you can double your chances to win by signing up for The Reader newsletter, too.
Note: This giveaway is now closed.
By entering your email address you agree to receive emails from Early Bird Books, Algonquin Books, Kensington Books, Legend Books, Simon & Schuster, and WildBlue Press.
