Today begins our annual Summer Reading Challenge. This year we are doing something different. I will present a top ten monthly list of my choices, a daily spotlight of a great book for the summer, and weekly three book cluster that fits either a series or theme. You can choose from either stacks of choices.
The catch is I want us to get together and talk about these books online. In fact, I want to talk about these books online with the author. So, in order to do this I need to know which author you most want to talk to for the month of June and when, and I will try my best to hook that up. We will host our online bookclub via Christian Fiction's Twitter Bookgroup. We will chat in both Tweet chat and BlogTalkRadio or Ustream TV. This would depend on the author's digital capabilities. Sounds like fun?
Wait a minute. It don't stop there. I'm giving away books. I'm giving away three to five of the same book to a bookclub that needs a makeover. I'm also giving away copies to my best readers at Christian Fiction Blog. Because this month we have our 5 year Birthday. We're starting Kindergarten folks. We're learning how to ride bikes. And we're going up a notch, more focused Christian book contest, less pr and book marketing(you can find that on my other site) But CFB is going back to its roots and growing at the same time. So I'm looking for bloggers, book reviewers, and vloggers. Hit me up.
Let's make this summer reading challenge the Best.

Try "One If By Heaven, Two If By Hell" a gritty "horror" novel with a Christian message. This is an "alternative" or "cool" approach to getting the message across, especially to the younger 18-30 year old male demographic who love science fiction, music, etc....
Hey, Zack let's chat about your novel. I want to read it. you know how to get in touch with me offloop.
Hey Dee, this top ten list is fantastic, Shame is a really good book, unfortunately the only on on your list that I have had time to read, but I have added a couple of your recommendations to my 'to read' list. I read that you intend to write a top ten list every month and want to let you know that you can post this and any of your top ten lists to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/ and link back to your site. We are trying to create a directory for top ten lists where people can find your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.
Hi, Vince. Yeah! I think Shame is fantastic! I'm a David C. Cooke fan so there you go. Thanks so much for the invite. :)
