Summer is over! Sniffel! The warm shiny sun is off to somewhere else. It also means the Summer Lovin' Challenge is coming to a close! Sigh! It was a fun challenge for me, although I failed (my own challenge!), I still enjoyed reliving some of my favourite books over the summer.
I want to thank all of you for joining in my first challenge, I haven't been the best host as I'd like to be, but real life got in my way, but thank you for making it a fun one, I read some great posts, and glad you were able to revisit some of your favourite reads. Post your wrap up reviews in the comments section of this post, and thank you again for a great challenge. And have a great fall!
Again congrats to the participants and anyone who finished the challenge!

The Challenge!
Welcome all, to the Summer Lovin' Challenge 2009!
I'm Bookworm Jules, also know as Jules from Jules' Book Reviews.
This is my first attempt at hosting a challenge, so bare with me a little. But I hope to bring you a fun challenge!
What this challenge is:
If you are like me, then you have a lot of book sitting on your shelves that you absoluetly loved, and keep telling your self, you should read it again. But that ever growing TBR list keeps getting in your way.
NOW, here's your chance, this challenge is made just for that! Go to your bookshelves or library and pick some of your most loved books you've already read and grab your favourite cold drink, and dive into those great stories!
The Rules
1) Pick a number of your favourite books to read over the summer (if you can't pick, try 3, 7, 14, or 21)
2) Create a list and blog post, then post it on here using Mr. Link! (Book choices do not have to be set in stone, you can change your choices at any time)Please post to the list you created for the challenge, not just the blog.
3) Books can be in any format and can be used with other challenges. Books can also be any reading level, from children's books, young adults to dictionaries. If it was one of your favourite books then read it!
4) Read (or listen) to your books and write a review about it. If you already reviewed the book on your blog, write a quick post about why you chose to re-read it. Link to your original review.
5) Choose three blogger friends to recommend your reads to. You can do this for all of them or just a few. It's up to you. But make sure to let them know!
6) Enjoy your reads and the summer.
7) Challenge starts June 21, 2009 and Ends September 21, 2009. (Books started or read before that date don't count. Although if one of your favourite reads was in May and you want to re-read it then do it!)
