Book Awards Reading Challenge: Linkys

5 months. 5 awards.

Thanks to all those who participated in either or both of the first two challenges!! Are you up for a third? The challenge for Book Awards 3 will be slightly different. First of all, it will only last for 5 months, from July 1 through December 1, 2009. That is because Book Awards 4 will be from February 1 through December 1, 2010.

Rules:

Read 5 books from 5 different awards during July 1, 2009 through December 1, 2009.

Overlaps with other challenges are permitted.

Choices don't have to be posted right away, and lists may be changed at any time.

'Award winners' is loosely defined; make the challenge fit your needs.

If you'd like to be a contributor on this blog, email me at 3m.michelle at gmail and reference your blog address if you have one. (I must have your email address, so comments to this post won't work.)

Have fun reading!

Book Awards II Rules and Signup

Saturday, February 28, 2009 by 1morechapter

10 months. 10 award winners.

The challenge for Book Awards II will be slightly different. First of all, it will last for 10 months instead of 12. Since we had over 100 participants last time, there wasn't room for everyone on the blog site due to blogger's limitation of only 100 contributors. Taking off those two months will allow me to clean up the site and set up the next challenge. On July 15th, I'll be deleting the participants from the first challenge UNLESS you've signed up for the new challenge. Your reviews won't be deleted, you just won't be able to post at the blog site anymore.

Rules:

Read 10 award winners from August 1, 2008 through June 1, 2009.

You must have at least FIVE different awards in your ten titles.

Overlaps with other challenges are permitted.

You don't have to post your choices right away, and your list can change at any time.

'Award winners' is loosely defined; make the challenge fit your needs, keeping in mind Rule #2.

Have fun reading!

Please use your SPECIFIC LINK to your post about the challenge if you're a blogger. If you don't have a blog, sign up with your name leaving the link field blank.
