I’m a big fan of Bookshop.org – an alternative way to buy books online and support indie bookshops and this summer they’re running The Big Read. It reminds me of the summer reading challenges my local library ran when I was a kid. Read on for more details straight from bookshop.org

The Big Read, summer reading challenge

Join in #TheBigRead and tell us what you’re reading.

The challenge
This July, we invite you to join us for a summer reading challenge with a difference, where every book you read and recommend on your socials supports independent bookshops.

What’s on your TBR?
Whether you already love to share your recommendations, or if you’re looking to bust your way out of a reading slump, share a Bookshop.org link to a book you’ve read, are reading or want to read and tag @bookshop_org_uk #TheBigRead by 31 July for the chance to win a Bookshop.org gift card worth £50, plus tote bags and other bookish goodies every week.
