The 10th Annual Bellamy Family Summer Reading Contest

The Goal : Read as many NEW books as possible in the prescribed amount of time
The Contenders : Professional Bookworm Kaitlin (yours truly) and Little Brother Jonathan (who is technically the reigning champ, but this year he's going DOWN!)

The Rules :

• Contenders shall begin counting pages toward their final tally on the "start date," and not a day earlier!
• Every third book completed entitles the reader to a prize, to be decided upon by the Contest Referee, Kathleen (aka Mom)
• A full and complete page count shall be turned in NO LATER than midnight on the "end date." The contestant with the most total pages shall be deemed the winner, thereby receiving a Grand Prize as well as bragging rights
• No book that has already been read may count toward the final page tally

The Obstacles : Each contender has a full agenda off summer activities demanding their time and attention. They must use their free time wisely, while still fulfilling all previously scheduled summer engagements.

Start Date : June 20th, Summer Solstice

End Date : September 22nd, Autumn Equinox

Let the games begin!
