The August Reading Rainbow!

Hello fellow bookworms!

Molly here to announce/invite you to join us in this month's Badger Bookclub pick. Honestly I've been itching all year to get my preferred genre in, and what with school starting in the near future, there couldn't be a better time. And so, for this month, let's read books from the

Young Adult section of your local library. My all-time favorite ever is this one:

It is an amazing story- one that I never tire of laughing and crying through (you know it's a good book when they happen simultaneously!),

and if you've never read it you simply MUST get a copy asap!

Seriously.

Since we're going with the Young Adult theme that means fairly short, easy reads. So let's see just how many each of us can tuck under his or her belt over the next few weeks.

We had a good time with the patriotic competition, and I'm feeling like spreading the love.

Any takers? :)

Whoever reads the most WINS!

(Can't guarantee prizes at this point, but bragging rights will definitely be included)
