Summer “Beach Reads” Reading Challenge

Welcome, welcome to the

2010 Summer “Beach Reads” Challenge
*throws confetti*

I’m sure you’re asking yourself, but Jessica, what exactly is a “beach read”? A beach read by my definition is any book you’d choose to take with you to a day at the beach. Think something light, airy, perhaps a romance or two? It’s really all up to you! Beach reads are what you make them! I’ve been known to take a vampire novel with me to the beach…. vampires and sand? Yes!

This challenge is being hosted by myself, Raila of Books Out of the Bookshelves, Linna of 21 Pages, and Heather of A Bibliophile’s Paradise
Since we are all hosting this challenge, my blog will be the headquarters (i.e. you’ll sign up here, post reviews here, check in here) but interviews, giveaways, contests and more will be going on at the other blogs during the month! I’ll keep you all updated on what’s happening for the week each Sunday, and the festivities start right here!
