And away we go



Today officially begins the competition between my nine-year-old "niece" and myself to see who can be the first to read ten books by the end of the summer.

Sshh! Don't tell her I artfully manipulated her. ::grin::

She loves to read but is easily distracted by her neighbor friends, so this was my way of keeping her on track for her summer reading program.

Iz be sneaky like that.

Oh cool, reading competitions - I recommend Rangers' Apprentice to your neice, from an 11 to me to Cheryl and to her. All who have read the series have enjoyed. Can I join in? When does summer end?

Beth -- Of course you can join in! As far as the competition goes, summer ends when she goes back to school -- sometime in August.
