2012 ABC Reading Challenge
With many blogs hosting fabulous challenges for the new year it got me thinking. This year, rather than just participating in challenges, I should host one too! So, me, Cicley from
Ciecly Loves Books and April from
Book Geek Central after a lot of thinking we came up with...
2012 ABC Reading Challenge
Basically, it's where you read a book that begins with each letter of the alphabet from A-Z. Yes, I realise books starting with X Y or Z will be near to impossible to find but try your best! And if you do manage to hit 26 books, you're just awesome!
You should join definitely join this challenge. It's fun and a great way to discover new authors and books. The challenge will run until January 2013.
Here are some buttons I made!
Make sure you save them on your computer first before posting it on your blog.
How to enter
Create a list on your blog or Goodreads with your list of books. You can create a list of books that you want to read or start a blank list and add the books as you read them. Once you have created your list come back here and add it to the linky below! Make sure that you post it on the same blog/Goodreads that you are going to post your reviews on throughout the year.
UPDATE!
Prize packs are to be won each month. All participants are instantly entered for a chance to win!
We are still in the process of deciding the prize packs ;D
Rules:
You need to be a book blogger or have a GoodReads account.
Any book fictional book released in 2012 will count towards the challenge. MG, Young Adult or Adult.
Make a blog post/Goodreads list on the books you plan on reading and then link back here.
Sign ups end at June 2012

ReplyDeleteThis will be my second attempt at this and my 3rd challenge for 2012
Sounds Interesting!
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is having trouble look for a book to fill for Q, try The Queen Bee of Bridgeton by Leslie DuBois. Still haven't decided if I want to do this challenge or not. I probably will. I can never say no to a challenge.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a challenge, I doubt I will be all that successful but it is worth a try! I am new to the reading challenge world but I love the concept and am going to give a bunch a try.
ReplyDeleteI moved my blog, so my new challenge page is http://www.alongfortheread.com/p/reading-challenges.html

ReplyDeleteI'm such a slacker! I meant to join last month, but I forgot. Better late than never, though!
ReplyDeleteI wish I would have realized this was already going on... just joined up! Looking forward to seeing all the books I get read this year!

ReplyDeleteI just have one question: Can I count a book that isn't in the language English but still write the book review in English? =)
Participating in this!
ReplyDeleteOnly books released in 2012 qualifies, am I right?
Could my first entry possibly be removed, I used the wrong link on the top entry of Nicole @ Epic Book Adventures, sorry!
ReplyDeleteJust joined! Still have to find a few more books for it (Y and Z, hmmm)
ReplyDeleteLove it!! I'm filling up my list now with all the books on my "to read" and "preordered" lists. Finding books for "X" and "Z" should be interesting! Thanks for hosting :)
