SWON's 2013 Teen Reading Challenge 

Last year, 200 people read over 3,500 teen-oriented books in the Teen Reading Challenge. Why? To discover new books to recommend and to win the trophy of their names followed by exclamation points!!! 

This year there's even more to love about the Challenge. We've partnered with LibraryThing.com to create team accounts, so you can share your book reviews and see what your team mates have read simply by logging in. Fun, useful, and free. See if you have the speed-reading (and catchy team-naming) skills to top the charts in this year's Challenge. 

Get your team registered now: http://oh.evanced.info/swon/lib/eventsignup.asp?ID=437 . Read as many pages as you can between February 1st and April 30th. Enrobe yourself in book-reading glory!
