Debuting in the summer of 2017, PBHOT62 is a reading challenge created for picture books writers by Ms. Rena, a librarian with a passion for children's literature.

Read someplace delicious (I threw a picture book party in the garden).

Read on you tippy toes (I tiptoed down this path).

Read someplace new (I picked the dentist chair).

This is a laid back challenge designed to get you reading, writing and working your creative muscles. If you have five minutes you have time for this challenge! Picture this by the end of summer you will have read 62 picture books, created a reading habit, experienced new things (if you’re like me, your introverted-self could use a push), and maybe even penned a picture book or two.  Sharing online is completely optional (Ms. Rena will share her reads online).

PBHOT62 registrations will open in early June and continue to July 4th. 
2017 is in progress and closed to new registrants. To read all about 2017 please click Summer Reading Challenge for Picture Books Writers

Writers who register and complete the challenge will be eligible for prizes (2018 prizes are TBD but will most definitely include picture books).

This challenge is created at no charge to you and will remain free and open to anyone that wants to join by the July 4th deadline. I just ask that you support the authors serving as guest bloggers by sharing their posts, reviewing and/or buying their books.

**If you would like to take part or donate a prize (books, critiques etc.) for the summer of 2018 please shoot Rena a line (contact form)
