leisure reading | Musings of the Monster Librarian

I have wanted to do this for SO LONG…

Jon Scieszka, who I mentioned in my last post, writes a very funny series for elementary students called The Time Warp Trio. I bet you can guess what it’s about. And one of the books in the series is called Summer Reading Is Killing Me!

I have wanted to give a copy of this book away as part of a summer reading program for a LONG time. And now, I’m going to do just that. I think it’s great that I can do it as part of a summer reading program that promotes scary books.

Leave me a post below sharing what you are reading (or plan to read) this summer. I don’t care what it is. It can be anything, for any age. I’ll randomly pick a post at the end of June and post the name of the winner. To qualify for the contest, you must reside in the United States, but anyone can post!

So… what are you reading this summer?

Summer Scares is here!

Perhaps you’ve used “I have no time” as your excuse for skipping over leisure reading this year. Well, it’s time for summer vacation (surely you have at least one day of leisure between now and Labor Day), so you can’t use that as an excuse now!

“But I’m out of touch,” you say. ” I don’t even know what’s out right now”! Lucky for you, MonsterLibrarian.com has teamed up with Spooky Reads, Horror World, Hellnotes, and the Horror Fiction Review to provide you with reviews of a whole bunch of possibilities as part of our Summer Scares project. Check it out, please- some awesome people put a lot of work into putting this project together.

So, find yourself a good book and do what our reviewer Sheila Shedd recommends. Find yourself an ocean view (or a mountain view), order a pizza, and kick back for some leisurely leisure reading.

Check back here later for some of our staff’s personal recommendations!
