Back to Books Blog Hop

We always start the summer so good.  So well-intentioned.  So optimistic. 

And then we just...stop. 

I'm talking abouut reading books here people, and with a 1st grader and a 3rd grader at our house this year, we are definitley getting back to the books this fall.  "I mean it, go get your book and sit down and read."  (See? I make it fun for them.)  It's such a critical time for them to be reading.  I just can't, in good conscience, let this time slide by, though with busy evenings of homework and friends and piano (yes, my children WILL learn to play the piano) and dinner, and occasionally baths, it slides by much more than I would like, and we neglect reading in all the chaos.

And it's not just the kids that need to get back to the books.  I have a ginormous to-read stack that I meant to get to over the summer.  How do these things get away from me?

SO, if you're here for the Back to Books blog hop (and even if you're not) go ahead and enter to win a signed copy of Daughter of Helaman by Yours Truly.  I know, I'm abounding in tact and goodwill.

Entry is simple.  Just be a follower of this blog on both GFC and Networked Blogs and leave a comment saying you want to be entered, making sure to include your email so I can contact you if you've won.

Lots of people like to do extra entries, so here's what you can do if you want more.

Stopping in from the campaign to say hi. My kids can outread me on a good week, but they do tend to slow down in summer (something to do with the sunny weather, swimming, etc??)
Cannot agree with you more about the importance of reading, I'm a firm believer that reading covers 9/10 ths of education.

This summer, I successfully introduced my 9 year old reluctant reader (picture tears and pleading) to audio books. He just finished the 3rd Harry Potter book by reading along with the audio and I am THRILLED! Good luck getting your kids back to the books! Thanks for the chance to win!

I'm a follower, a fan and found you on Goodreads. I know I've been a slacker about reading lately, but I'm working on getting back to it, along with other important things (like the piano, oddly enough--I'm the only one of five sisters who doesn't play an instrument). I wish you much luck with your book!
