I hope you are all having fun reading and working on your OAS Reading Olympics Challenge. I know I am! I've read a mystery from my favorite mystery series, the Faith Fairchild Mysteries. I've also read a few magazines and a guidebook for where I'm going on vacation at the end of the month. Right now, I'm reading a realistic fiction book called Love Walked In. I've read in a few different places too - in bed, on the couch, and at the beach. Soon, I'm going to start reading this year's Nutmeg Book Award nominees. Check out our Summer Reading Lists online. Have lots of fun in the summer sun and read great books!
