Bermuda Onion is Hosting a Shelf Discovery Mini-Challenge!

My good friend Kathy (aka Bermuda Onion) had a wonderful idea for a Shelf Discovery mini-challenge! For the month of February, she is challenging us to read the Judy Blume books that were referenced in SHELF DISCOVERY! I absolutely love this mini-challenge because Judy Blume is one of my all-time favorite authors! I can't wait to dig in!

Here's the scoop on the challenge straight from Kathy's website:

I’ve been having so much fun looking through Shelf Discovery: The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading by Lizzie Skurnick, I asked Booking Mama if I could host a mini-challenge for The Shelf Discovery Challenge. I read Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret, my first Judy Blume book ever, for this challenge and I just loved it, so I thought Judy Blume books would be a great mini-challenge.

In order to participate in this challenge, you must be registered for The Shelf Discovery Challenge on Booking Mama’s blog
– it’s not too late to sign up. For this mini-challenge, all you have to do is read any (or all) of the Judy Blume books listed in Shelf Discovery. Titles listed are:
  • STARRING SALLY J. FREEDMAN
  • ARE YOU THERE, GOD? IT’S ME, MARGARET.
  • BLUBBER
  • TIGER EYES
  • THEN AGAIN, MAYBE I WON’T
  • DEENIE
  • IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
  • FOREVER
  • WIFEY
Once you’ve written your “book report”, come back here and add it to Mr. Linky. Past “book reports” count, as long as you read the book for The Shelf Discovery Challenge, so link those on here as well. Since there are nine Judy Blume books listed, you can get up to nine entries!! This mini-challenge will run for the month of February, and on March 1, I will use random.org to pick two different winners. If you read all of the books, you can get nine entries, but you can only win one time. Each winner will receive a $10.00 gift certificate to the bookstore of their choice (I must be able to buy the gift certificate on the internet.) Good luck and happy reading!

I sure hope you'll join us in the fun. I've already read and reviewed ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET, but I'm looking forward to reading a few more during the month of February.

P.S. - Any Judy Blume books from the list above that you read also count towards your six books minimum for this challenge!
