Hello

It's that time again... the start of a new month when I reveal to you what the new theme is.  The National Year of Reading theme for August is "Read the Game".  It's all about sport.  The Summer Reading Challenge for this year is based on sport (Team Read) and the Bejing Olympics are coming up soon.  When it comes to reading about sport there is so much to choose from, be it a biography or autobiography of your favourite sporting hero, a guide to the rules of your favourite sport or simply a match programme from your team's last fixture.

When we were asking local celebrities about their reading habits we contacted some local sports legends - Meet your Local celebs to find out more.

And if you want to comment on their choices then please register with the site and tell us what you think.

Or simply cast your vote in this month's poll (you don't need to register with the site to vote).  Would you rather watch the Olympics or read a book - I know which I'd choose!

Have a good weekend
