Because of the amazingly underwhelming response to the Just-Write Summer Reading Contest I’m extending the deadline to June 30th, 2007. Maybe you’re wondering what it is, or why I’m doing it. Well, here are some answers:
What is it? Do you have a particular favorite summer book–a book you like to take to the beach, or wherever you go for the summer? Are you reading anything interesting this summer? Share it with the rest of us!
Why are you doing this? Reading is a solitary activity, while blogs (like this one) seek to create a community and correspondence between writers and readers. I’d like to help foster this particular community by finding out who’s reading this and what else they’re reading. Reviews, advertisements, and just browsing are all great ways to find something interesting to read, but word of mouth (or word of blog) is also a great way to find new books that might interest you.
I don’t want to win the free book. That’s understandable. You can opt out of the contest part and simply share what you’re reading. Or if you do win the book, hand it on to someone else.
E-mail your Summer reading book to justwrite@contentquake.com.
