Reading Challenge + Giveaway!

Hello friends! Happy start of June! I just love the start of a new month so fresh with possibilities. 😍

My longtime blogging friend, Tarissa hosts an annual Louisa May Alcott reading challenge every June and being a reading enthusiast I just had to share the fun news with you all! The challenge begins today and it's so easy to join in the fun, and you can set your own reading goals for the month.

 

Tarrisa's blog, In The Bookcase is filled with her wonderful book reviews, resources of free books and book sites, giveaways and so much more! I have often found a new book to add to my reading list from her. The reading challenge is a wonderful way to explore the world of Louisa May Alcott's and her writings, from old favorites like Little Women to some many have never even heard of before.


This year Tarissa and I are collaborating and I'm giving away a set of two lovely corner bookmarks from my shop for those joining the challenge! I'm so excited! 😁 


Find these bookmarks in my shop here!


You can find all the details for the reading challenge and the giveaway on Tarrisa's blog. 
And be sure to take a look around her wonderful blog!
 
You do NOT need to enter the reading challenge to enter for the giveaway...however reading along will earn you extra points! 


There are so many stories Louisa wrote that most people have never read before...including myself. And if you have never read Little Women and only seen the films you MUST give it a try. 😘 This challenge is a wonderful way to get some of those classic reads checked off your list (and even add some new books to your to-read list)!

I hope you'll join us!
Happy Reading,
~Rachel~

P.S. - My reading choices for the challenge are two short stories: May Flowers and Marjorie's Three Gifts.

P.P.S ~ I managed to read only May Flowers in June, though I will still read Marjorie's Three Gifts this summer. May Flowers was a charming story and I really enjoyed it! A lovely short story of a group of young Boston girls who challenge each other to do good deeds through the long winter months ahead. Each girl's story of her efforts is than described in her own words of her successes and struggles along the way. I found it charming and inspiring and sweet. A wholesome reminder to be kind and share from our abundance in whatever way we are able to. :) 

Thank you Tarissa for inspiring us to read these beautiful classics!
