The contest is open to USA participants only. The contest ends at 11:59 pm on September 2nd. The winner will be chosen by an online giveaway picker and notified via direct message. The giveaway is not affiliated with Instagram or Bookshop.org.
What Makes the 2024 Summer Reading Challenge Special?
This year, Jackie an I are pleased to partner with Our Closet in Your Neighborhood. Our August reading challenge prompt is to read a book about fashion — the perfect tie-in for this year’s philanthropic partner. With this partnership, we hope to expand your reading life and also inspire a feeling of gratitude and giving.
Since the prompt is also part of our year-long Reading Challenge, Beyond the Bookends will be hosting an in-person event and virtual giving opportunity to raise funds all summer long. We truly hope this partnership inspires you to give back to the community.
