Summer Reading Challenge

Summer-Reading-Thumbnail.jpgI’m taking part in the Transworld Dan Brown Summer Reading Challenge!

Between the Lines (Transworld Publishers) are having a summer reading challenge which should give me the opportunity to read and review some books for free! (My favourite price.)

I've picked the following four (the first I've wanted to read for a while, the others I picked at random):

  1. The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
  2. Assassin by Tom Cain
  3. Lockdown by Sean Black
  4. 61 Hours by Lee Child

If you're EU-based and taking part, let me know what books you're reading. If and when you post the reviews let me know and we can get some inter-linking review fun going on. :D
