As they did last year, Ian and the other good folks at Aquinas and More Books (which is both a brick-and-mortar store and a fine, innovative online seller – the largest in the country now –  of books and Catholic goods) are running a Catholic Summer Reading Program. It’s time to vote for the finalists!

Here is a complete title listing of this year’s 64 featured titles.

There is literally “something for everyone” in the title offerings – both fiction and non-fiction and books for young readers. Last year we were featured on EWTN/Ave Maria Radio and the program was mentioned in a number of Catholic publications. The purpose of the program is to keep Catholics reading and engaged with their faith during the summer vacation season and to expose them to new titles and to the Catholic novel – something that is becoming a rare and exotic species.
The program will feature downloadable discussion guides for reading groups, flyers that Catholic retailers across the country can download and use in their stores so they can sponsor reading groups in their local markets, and much more. We are also encouraging parishes around the country to start up summer reading groups.
