Happy Monday, listeners!

For Scientific American's Science Quickly, I'm Rachel Feltman.

This isn't our weekly science news roundup because this week we're doing something different.

Today's, Wednesday's, and Friday's episodes will all celebrate the universal summer pastime of — you guessed it — reading.

Whether you're lugging a tote full of long-neglected TBRs on your family vacation or squeezing in some audiobook listening time while enjoying a sunny walk around the block, now is the perfect time to crack open a book.

And that's more true this summer than ever because we here at Scientific American are hosting our first ever summer reading challenge.

Here's how it works.

Head over to sciam.com/readingchallenge and download our official bingo card.

Then mark off the squares you fulfill with your various reading endeavors.

Those challenges include things like reading a nonfiction graphic novel, reading a STEMinist romance, and borrowing a book from the library, to name just a few.
