2011 Beach Reads Summer Challenge!

It’s that time of year again….SUMMER! The time in which we all worship the sun god, and read copious amounts of books, hopefully at the beach.
This means it’s also time for the 2011 Beach Reads Summer Challenge!
I hosted this last year with a few other awesome bloggers. They were busy this year, so it’s all me. However I have been working hard and I’m hoping that you’ll enjoy the lineup of games, prizes and awesome guest posts I have scheduled for the next two months!
**********
Now, down to the details.

Timeline: 
The challenge will run from July 1st – August 31st. Calendars will be put up weekly so show what is coming up in terms of games, guest posts and giveaways. It’s important to note that all posts related to this event will feature the banner you see above.
