Sisters' Summer Reading Challenge

 A new season means a new reading challenge! We are keeping this list a bit lighter and fun for summer. 

This post contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you.

1. Reread a classic you enjoyed as a teen. 

Examples: 

    Little Women by Lousia May Alcott

    The Secret Garden by Francese Burnett

    Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

    Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain


2. Read a portion of a book of essays or poetry.

Examples: 

    Essays by E.B. White or Dorcas Smucker

    Endless Feasts compiled from Gourmet magazine

    Keep a Quiet Heart by Elisabeth Elliot

    Poetry by Malcolm Guite

    Habitation of Wonder by Abigail Carroll


3. Read a book with a beautiful cover. 

This may be an old book, a new modern design, or whatever says beauty to you.


4. Read a book by an author you've enjoyed.

This can be any genre and any category.


5. Read a book about someone on a journey.

This could be a literal physical journey or a spiritual journey. 

Examples: 

    Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne

    Three Weeks With my Brother by Nicholas Sparks and Micah Sparks

    Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by Nabeel Qureshi


6. Read a love story (fiction or nonficiton). 

Charity's wedding planned for this summer is putting love on our minds! 

Examples:

    The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery

    Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

    Passion and Purity by Elisabeth Elliot


7. Choose a Psalm and read it every day for a month (or as often as possible.) 


8. Take a photo of a book you are reading.


We will be back next week with a report on our reading this spring.

  2. Hi Gina,
    I’d love to send you a copy of my favorite book that I read last year which has now made my top 3 list. It’s “ Saving My Assassin” by Virginia Prodan. If you haven’t read it and would like to send me your address I’ll send you one.
    Sincerely,
    Gail
