Welcome to Summer Reading Online 2015! This year there are three ways to participate. First, you can set yourself a reading goal -- how many books you want to finish reading by the end of the summer -- and write little summaries/reviews of what you read. Second, you can attempt my Challenge and read from our challenges. Pick the number of challenges you would like to attempt and then choose from my category list. Or third, some combination of the two! You decide.
The method is the same for all three options. You pick whatever books you want, post a blog entry stating your reading goals, and then post your write ups after each book. If you want you can even wait to post the write ups 'til near the end of the Summer Reading Program, but I don't recommend it because you have to have everything "turned in" by the last day. Reviews can be as simple or as detailed as you want. List the number of stars you'd give the book or write up a full review. Your choice.
If you're interested, leave a comment here along with the url for whatever site/blog you plan on posting your write ups so we can all read them & see what you're reading. You never know -- someone else might be doing the same book as you, or you might even discover a great new book to check out! I’ll post a link on the side of this blog with your information so everyone can see what you’re reading (and you can see what everyone else is reading!) If you plan on using Facebook as your review spot just make sure any posts you use are marked "public" so we can all see them.
Don’t have a somewhere to post reviews? Comment on the blog with your name, email and goal and I’ll post your reviews for you or add you as an author! Specify your choice in the comments.
You can sign up anytime, and start reviewing your books beginning May 30! Summer Reading Online will run through August 29. That'll give us about 12 full weeks of reading.
Prizes. Yes, prizes. There will be at least two prizes this summer, and if you would like to donate something as a prize please comment and I will be in touch with you. I would love some fun local items from where ever you are- things from your library, from your state, etc. All of the prizes will be funded by me or by other participants, so any contributions you can make are very much appreciated.
Please feel free to share this with anyone and everyone! The more participants we get the better! A badge for your site will be forthcoming soon.

All you really have to do is three things: Set yourself a reading goal, read, and review books! That’s it. Really. We’ve got both a Myspace and a Blogger account set up, so there’s a way for everyone to participate!Just set yourself a reading goal -- how many books you want to finish reading by the end of the summer -- and write little summaries/reviews of what you read.

I'm setting my goal at 25 books. I'll probably read more, but won't review them. That's the part I'm really really bad at. :P I read them and don't bother to add them to anything. I'm just lazy. I am also going to abstain from the drawing, since I help Samantha host a Blogger account for people who don't have a place to add their reviews: http://summerreadingonline.blogspot.com. To be added to the author list just send me a message! (Hopefully I'll be better at keeping up with it this year!)
