The Reading Challenge - the Wrappers Recommend

The Reading Challenge is on now for all readers aged 13-99 who would like to be involved in an easy library run challenge that simply involves choosing, reading and reviewing books. Even the reviewing part is optional but you could win a basket of goodies if you submit a review. 

The Wrappers are encouraging readers of all ages to read teen books and there are many that appeal to adults as well as teens.
