(ETA: Sorry folks, but I deleted my blog on Sunday and lost all my comments from Saturday.  But there were 56 wonderful entries for this mini-challenge…I’m sorry all of the songs and video links are lost!)

Welcome readers (and cheerleaders!). Are you ready for a little break from your books and pom-poms? It’s time for a mini-challenge!

I know a lot of readers are also fans of music. So for this mini-challenge we’re going to give our eyes a break and focus on our ears. I’d like you to post a song that reminds you of the read-a-thon, or that you love to read to, or that makes you think of a particular book. You can either embed a video of the song, or post the lyrics. And don’t forget to include a sentence or two as to why you’re sharing that particular song! Easy-peasie, right? Originally, I was thinking of making you run a marathon, but I thought this might go over a bit better.

Please leave me a link to your post in the comments. No linkie, no entry. This mini-challenge will continue for three hours, at which time I’ll draw a random winner.

Oh, the prize? Your choice of a $15 online gift card for either barnesandnoble.com or powells.com.
