Summer Book Trek 2014 was a whopping success! We read 172 books during the month of July and gave away 88 books as prizes! I think we are freaking awesome!!!
I want to thank our awesome sponsors for providing the prizes! Most of the sponsors were individual authors, but I want to give a big shout out to Cedar Fort, Trifecta Books, and Zarahemla Books who provided multiple titles from their current and backlist publications as prizes.
I also want to thank our Trek participants, who not only took the time to read the books, but who wrote and posted reviews for the titles they loved. Yay, you! You’re an author’s dream come true. Keep up the good work!
And mark your calendars! Next Trek is July 2015!
