For me the start of summer meant I could read whatever I wanted, no more boring assigned reading. Even though I am far past the days of assigned reading there is still something about summer and reading. Maybe it's because I have fond memories of participating in the library's
Summer Reading Program. This year I was excited to learn that a feature of the Summer Reading Program is an
online quest component. It sounds like a lot of fun and that got me thinking about how many of my favorite stories are actually adventure quests. I think the top spot would have to go to
The Hobbit by J R R Tolkien. There are dwarves and magic, treasure and dragons, and Bilbo the Hobbit who never planned on having any adventures but found himself on one anyway. Yes, that summer was definitely an adventure. So here is to finding great books to keep you entertained over the hot Tucson summer.
