*CLOSED* Borders $100 Gift Card Giveaway

by Heather on June 24, 2010 9:34 am

Borders wants your kids to join the Double-Dog Dare Summer Reading Challenge to encourage reading over the summer.  And thanks to Borders sponsorship, I’m giving away a $100 Borders Gift Card to one lucky reader!

Double-Dog Dare Summer Reading Challenge

I dare you to encourage your kids (ages 12 and under) to read 10 books!  If they do they will receive a free book!  This summer reading program starts May 4 and ends August 26.  Just download the form, read 10 books, then take the completed form to Borders for your kids to pick out one of these 10 books as your free book.

Reading Tip

Thanks to Jon Scieszka, author of Robot Zot and Knucklehead: Tall Tales and Almost True Stories of Growing up Scieszka

“If you want to inspire your boy reader, expand your definition of reading to include non-fiction, graphic novels, funny books, wordless books, audio books and magazines. Summer reading is a great time to explore texts that aren’t covered/allowed in school reading.”

    I would use it to buy new books for school. We home school and I really want the book on learning the French language. “French for Dummies” would be a great book for me.

    I have been wanting to get a nice lap desk. Oh, and I’m always up for more good books, maybe even a family tree organizer since I’m working on one right now.

    Thanks for the holding this giveaway, Heather!

    My answer was:
    I would love to pick up a couple new books by Dorothy Koomson for myself. I just ordered the first Looking Glass Wars book for my son so adding to them would be great too! I’d also like to get each of my 4 little cousins a new book since my Aunt is having them read for 15 minutes each day this summer. 4 books swapped between the 4 boys would help her out a lot!! Even better if I take them to pick them out themselves!

  • Jessica

    My grandmother is stuck in the hospital with a broken back, hip & arm so I would get her some audio books to keep her entertained when we can’t be there!

  • Michelle

    We’d buy books for the whole family! Thanks for this giveaway!

    There are 4 books on my “to read” list. I haven’t read a book for a few years now… except for children books to my kids. They are: “My Life Outside the Ring” by Terry Hogan, “25 Chickens and a Pig for a Bride” by Vangie Canonizado Buell, “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man” by Steve Harvey and “Stuff Every Woman Should Know” by Alana Kalb. I would have to at least get 2 of those. Then a Good Morning Maisy dvd for the baby and maybe some music for my 6yr old, 16yr old and my hubby. :}
