LDS Publisher is hosting a Summer Book Trek and anyone can participate and be entered to win prizes. Basically, you make a list of book(s) to read in August. All books must be by LDS authors. They don’t have to be LDS fiction, just written by an LDS author. Here’s an example or four: Janitors by Tyler Whitesides, The Guardians of Elijah’s Fire by Frank Cole, Variant by Robison Wells, Kiss of a Stranger by Sarah M. Eden. All of these books are written by LDS authors but the characters are not LDS.

So here’s my list that will probably change. I like to make a big list and then pick what I’m in the mood to read. So here goes:

Janitors by Tyler Whitesides
The Guardians of the Hidden Scepter by Frank Cole
The Guardians of Elijah’s Fire by Frank Cole
No Angel by Theresa Sneed
Billy: Messenger of Powers by Michaelbrent Collings
The Key of Kileyna by Andrea Pearson (Wow, the Kindle edition was up for free when I made this link!)
Song of the Summer King by Jesse E. Owen
The Switch (Blank Slate) by Heather Justesen
Friends and Foes by Sarah M. Eden
The Secret Sisters Club by Monique Bucheger 

First you have to sign up here. Then during the month of August you can add, change, or delete titles on your list. You can earn points to win prizes (books by LDS authors–Yes mine is one of them!) in many different ways. Here’s the list:
