Welcome to the A+ Giveaway Hop, hosted by MamatheFox!
And welcome to my second blog hop of the week. I’m on vacation, so you have more chances to win either a $10 Amazon Gift Card or a $10 Book from the Book Depository.
This is a back-to-school themed hop. I don’t have children, so it seems weird to me that we’re already talking about back to school and we’re not that far into August. In my mind, and admittedly a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, school didn’t start until after Labor Day. Even college. Lots of my friends went to colleges that started the fall semester in mid-to-late-August, but mine didn’t start until mid-September or thereabouts.
The Gwinnett County Schools, the system where I live now, have already started! That just seems much too early. And too hot. But then I’m remembering schools that were not air conditioned, which I presume is no longer the case. Both June and September in Cincinnati could be pretty beastly hot. Being there in August would have been unrealistic unless they were air conditioned, which they most definitely were not at the time. But undoubtedly are now. Time marches on.
And now it’s time to march into the rafflecopter for your chance at the prize!
For more fabulous prizes be sure to visit the other stops on this hop!

I love to read and I would read books that were more fiction but it would be at night. During the day it was camp or outdoors.
Back then we weren’t required to read like they are today! My summers were about forgetting school until fall!
I read! Lots. But I also played lots.
We played outside rode bikes and I loved reading all year.
When you were in school was summer a time to read more or to forget about books until fall?
well,in the summer i was mostly in the beach or playing whit friend’s…..but on occasion i would stop a bit to read!!!
We didn’t have any required reading, but sometimes teachers would encourage the parents to give books to their kids. I only remember fondly a couple of those, because the rest were very generic stuff that didn’t grab my attention, like for example Un Trou Dans Le Grillage (town with a secret), and another one about a very clumsy pirate.
Summer was a time to read – I had my own curriculum:)
Read more! I loved joining all the summer reading programs!

I would read a little in the summer, but only on rainy days.
I liked to read in the summer because I got to read “fun” books vs textbooks.
“When you were in school was summer a time to read more or to forget about books until fall?” I was a big reader, so I guess I read all the time, also, but I just remember watching nothing but TV, TV, TV.
I liked learning so I read more in the summer. Haha! You know, give and take.

I read very little in the summer. Winters are long and cold so that’s when I read.

Summer was a time to read more books, both from the reading list and other books.

Summer was to read more books, since during school/college time i barely have time to read 🙂
I was always reading. Living in the country we had no TV so it was gardening, canning & reading all sumner.

Summer for me was a time to read fun things and novels. I was a bit on the nerd side so that actually meant real classics like Crime and Punishment.

When I was in school, the local library was excellent and I read all summer long.
I read more.
I have to admit I didn’t read much when I was on summer break when I was in school. I guess I was too worried about going to the beach with a boy!!(HA)
I have read everyday as long as I can remember.
I always read more, and relished rainy days! (I still do!)
For me, Summer was a way to recover from another hectic school year.
I always loved to read, whether it was summer or during the school year.
I’d read more because I could read whatever I wanted and had time to.
When I was a kid we swam and played outside all day and read in the evenings all summer.
When I was younger when school let out it was time to be outside all summer. We lived on a farm so there was a lot of fun things to do
Summers have always been the time I get to read what I WANT!

When I was younger, I didn’t think much about reading in the summer, but as I got older I really enjoyed reading books.

Thanks for the great giveaway!
I read many book during summer as well 🙂
It was a time to read!
It depends. I went through phases. Some years I’d read constantly, and other years I thought of reading as boring. Probably typical kid indecision. Lol
Summer was a time to read. Grab a good book and read it in the hammock or under a tree by the water!
I read all year round. During the summer if I wasn’t napping I was reading. It was a cycle. LOL
I did read books in the summer months
Summer was always a time to read more. I’m a librarian now so I guess I am true to myself!
A time to read at the beach.
We had a summer reading program at the library when I was in school — we read and had fun too.
Summer meant I could read for hours on end! Some days I basically only stopped reading to eat meals and get a few hours of sleep.
I would occasionally read during the summer.
I started reading at the age of three and have never stopped!
My sister and I would spend out summers reading outdoors, in our beds, sprawled out down stairs in the basement, in the car, in our tent while camping, on the boat with our parents, at camp, etc. We always had a book in our hands. Our family and friends knew that gifts to us should be either books we like or gift cards to buy more books!
I definitely read more.
I loved to read any time and still do. Summer time (especially rainy days) were a time to read. Now I do it on the beach.
I read more books!
i read a lot when i was a kid, we didn’t get to watch tv much so we read for entertainment.
When I was in school, schools did not require summer reading but I loved to do the summer reading program through the library.
Both. Some years I had summer reading lists. Some I didn’t.
Thanks for the chance.
I read a lot in the summer. I still remember losing myself in books on those hot days.
Summer was the time for more reading.
i’d read more in the summer
I don’t remember reading as much when I was younger as I do now. Thanks and God bless!
I loved reading so any time of the year was big for reading.
I have always been a voracious reader, so summer vacations allowed me to have some extra time just for that.
For me summer was a time to read.
Every day was a day to read more. I’d check out library books and read two a day if I could.
I love to read for leisure in the summer.
As a child I loved reading by choice, as an adult it’s the same.
I probably did not read as much as I should have over the summer when I was a kid. I did play outside a lot though.
When I was in school- I seem to remember reading all year round. I enjoyed good books.
To read more!
When I was a kid, I loved to read! Summer was for reading as much as I could.
Forget about books until fall. I wasn’t much of a reader until I was in my 30’s.
I have always loved to read so I would read year round, but definitely more in the summer. I did play with my friends but I’ve always been an introvert so I needed the quiet “me” time that I would usually spend reading.
Only if I was in the mood.
I didnt read nuch too busy swimming and playing in water
We always loved to read during the summer
I read a lot during the summer.

I read more in the summer but the difference was that I read what I wanted to read and it was not assigned to me by someone else.
I rarely read in the summer as a child. I was too busy playing outside with friends.
I loved reading for leisure during the summer breaks.
