Olympics Book Challege!

The Olympics started today! If you are looking for more information, the official websites are:

and

The online knitting community is sponsoring an Olympic event of starting a new project during the Olympics and trying to finish it before the Olympics conclude in 17 days. This gave me the idea to start a book today and try to finish it before the Olympics conclude on August 24th, 2008. Or, you could also keep track of how many books you read in the next few weeks. Challenge your mind like an athlete challenges his or her body! The book I'm starting was recommended to me at the poolside this summer by a fourth grader. It is a children's book titled The Secret Order of the Gumm Street Girls by Elise Primavera.

Happy Reading! Julie Owen
