2013 Read Along Challenge

The 2013 Read Along Challenge is hosted by Book Twirps!!

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

• You don’t have to be a blogger to join us. However, the sign-up linky requires a url to track you. Preferably, you at least have a Goodreads account where you rate/review books, so you can use your Goodreads page as your link. If you don’t have a Goodreads account or blog, you can use your Twitter or Facebook profile link. We have something special planned for participants who read and review the books we read.

• As I mentioned above, you can join us every month without reviewing the books. Those that do review the book and leave us a link to their review in the monthly linky will be entered to win a fabulous prize at the end of the year. I have no idea what the prize will be, but we’ll make it a good one.

• In order to gain your monthly entry for the grand prize, your reviews must be trackable and posted no later than ten days after the end of that month’s read-along. For example, the January read-along ends on January 31 and the review for it must be up — either on your blog or Goodreads — by the 10th of February, and then linked to the linky we provide with our review.

• For each review you write and link us to, you’ll gain one entry. (One entry per month maximum).

• By signing up for the challenge you automatically get a free entry for the end of the year giveaway!

• Each month we select a book to read for the following month.  I typically choose five or six books and then the blog readers vote on which one they want to read. Once voting closes, the top book is selected as the winner.

• Don’t like the book selected? That’s okay. You can sit that month out and come back and join us the next month. We will post a linky with our review for you to link up your reviews.

• We’ll read a total of twelve books this year for this challenge (one per month).

• Each month we post a reading schedule. You don’t have to follow the schedule weekly. It’s just posted to help you stay on track for the month.

• You can sign-up to participate in this challenge through December 1, 2013.

• Feel free to grab the button from the top of the page and use it on your blog. Just be sure to link it back to this page.
