Yesterday was the Grand Prize drawing for Provo City Library's Adult Summer Reading Program, and although, I didn't win the wii, like I had been hoping, I still am grateful that Provo has an adult summer reading program. Thanks, Provo Library.
I did win:
free frozen yogurt,
free pass to Comedy Sports (improve comedy center),
free meal at Lon's Cooking Shack,

You can tell that I read a lot of Newbery Award books. Here is why: 1. I have a goal to read all of the Newbery Award books, 2. they are typically short and easy to read, which means I can read more books and get more chances to win prizes!

That's amazing that you won so many things!! I wish I had won more but hey, at least i won something at the final drawing. Congrats to you!! And again, thanks for telling me about it!
A lot of fun prizes and an amazing amount of books that you read! Wow!
What a great idea - an adult reading program. I would love to do that! Looks like you read some great books! I think I'll do a post like yours with the books that I've read this summer (or year) also.
How fun. I had to add some of your books to my growing "I want to read someday" list.
Enjoy those prizes. I like the little post dividers.
