Lovely readers, do not forget, Monday is the last day to enter books into the G form so they can be counted as entries for the prize drawing.
Books you've only shared by posting with the #PirateReadingClub hashtag aren't counted as entries.
Thank you!!!🏴‍☠️📚💚

417 books have been submitted! Most of them are on the blog (remember, you can always opt out of your reviews being posted publicly). You all are SUCH great readers & your reviews are THE BEST. This is my hardest season so thank you for making me happy during a rough time. #PirateSummerReading

Graphic of four flags against a sunny, blue sky. Three of the flags have pink numbers over crossed bones, 1, 5 and 10. The biggest flag has a pink crown over crossed bones. Below each flag is a spot for Your Name. Words on the graphic read: Read books to earn flag badges! The pirate who reads the most books by the end of summer will receive the special flag and be crowned pirate royalty!
