#ThisIsTucson & Why I Love Where I Live 2024 Summer Reading Challenge


2024 Summer Reading Challenge

We've teamed up with #ThisIsTucson to bring you the 2024 Summer Reading Challenge! While you can find physical copies of our Summer Reading Challenge at the locations listed below, you can also download the PDF if you prefer printing it from home. Visit our online shop to see what books we already have in stock to start your reading journey!

Where to pick up books

The bookstores might not have all the Summer Reading Challenge books on their shelves, but they'll have some of them — if they don't have the book you're looking for, they may be able to order it if you ask! For more info on each book, check out #ThisIsTucson's full article.

Win prizes for the books you read

Throughout the month of August, you'll have the chance to win some fun prizes for the books you check off the list:

  • If you read one book on the list, you'll get a free bookish sticker from #ThisIsTucson and 10% off any in-store purchase at Why I Love Where I Live.
  • If you read 2-4 books on the list, you'll get a free bookish sticker from #ThisIsTucson, 10% off any in-store purchase at Why I Love Where I Live and a free bookish sticker from local artist Turtle's Soup.
  • If you read five or more books on the list, you'll get a free bookish sticker from #ThisIsTucson, 20% off any in-store purchase at Why I Love Where I Live, a free bookish sticker from Turtle's Soup and a free bookmark from Turtle's Soup.

Here's how to redeem your prize:

  • Bring one of the books (e-books are acceptable!) on our list to Why I Love Where I Live in the MSA Annex, 267 S. Avenida del Convento, during the month of August. Show the book to an employee and let them know how many books you've read from the list. Just like that, the prize is yours! (Your Why I Love Where I Love discount is only redeemable the same day you show your book.)

No matter which milestone you hit, you can leave your email with a store employee and be entered into a raffle to win goodies like bookstore gift cards and tickets to local attractions. We'll pick winners in September. 

Also in September, we plan to host an informal happy hour where book lovers can gather to chat about their summer reads. More info on that to come! 

Special thanks to Walter Trujillo & Barrio Books for sharing a book recommendation in loving memory of Syrena Arevalo-Trujillo (September 9, 1990 - April 1, 2024). 

Pick up a FREE bookmark in-store while supplies last. No purchase necessary.
