Young Readers Challenge Month One:

The Young Readers Challenge has officially started. While it isn't a rule that the twelve required books be read one per month, that is a good a way as any for spacing out these round-up posts.

First off, let me say...that there is still time to join in the challenge. There is no official deadline. So don't think you're out of luck if this is your first time hearing about the challenge. The more the merrier.

In this round-up post, you have the opportunity to share with others what you've been reading. You may do this in one or two ways.

1) Leave a comment with a link to your review.
2) Leave a review or mini-review as a comment. So even if you don't have a blog of your own, you can still participate.

Some of you may be wondering how "long" or "short" a review would need to be. Really, it doesn't matter. I would say at least two sentences. :) Unless you use a lot of semicolons. :)

So leave me a comment anytime in the month of January, and I'll *eventually* round them up here in the body of this post with a snazzy little summary or intro of some sort. (Unless I'm still sick. In which case I take back the snazz.)

So enjoy your month of reading...I look forward to the reviews.

Nan is bringing us a review of My Senator and Me by Senator Edward Kennedy. It is illustrated by David Small.

Becky is bringing us a review of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis.
