2012 TBR Pile Reading Challenge



The e2012 TBR Pile Reading Challenge is a challenge to read those books gathering dust on our bookshelves. Go sign up

Challenge guidelines:

  1. This challenge will run from Jan 1, 2012 - Dec 31, 2012.
  2. As we would like to see quality reviews linked up to our monthly wrap-ups, only bloggers can enter. Sorry about that!
  3. Any genre, length or format of book counts, as long as it is a book that's been sitting on your shelf for some time now. Only books released in 2011 and earlier! NO ARCs and 2012 fresh-off-the-press releases allowed!
  4. You can list your books in advance or just put them in a wrap-up post. If you list them, feel free to change them as the mood takes you.
  5. When you sign up in the linky, put the direct link to your post about joining the 2012 TBR PILE Reading Challenge (You need to include the info + host list + challenge button. You can also grab the button code and add it to your sidebar!)
  6. You can move up levels, but no moving down.
  7. Sign-ups will be open until Dec 15, 2012, so feel free to join at any time throughout the year.
  8. At the end of each month one of the hosts will post a wrap-up. Every wrap-up will have it's unique theme, a mini-challenge, a giveaway and place for you to link up your reviews from this month. For each review you link up, you will get one entry in a drawing of one book of choice from Book Depository. It's open to INTERNATIONALS. For participating in the mini-challenge you will get +1 entry.
  9. If you miss a wrap-up post + giveaway, you can link up your reviews next month. Do not, however, try to link up one review twice - we will be checking ;)
  10. December is a wrap-up for the whole year. All the book reviews you linked up January-November + the ones you'll link up in December will be entered into a HUGE giveaway - 12 books, 12 winners, INTERNATIONAL.
  11. You don't have to follow all the hosts to join the challenge, but you do have to follow all of us to be entered in giveaways!

Levels:

1-10 - A Firm Handshake
11-20 - A Friendly Hug
21-30 - A Sweet Kiss
31-40 - Love At First Sight
41-50 - Married With Children

I'm going to be signing up for A Sweet Kiss, because some of the books on my shelves, I don't want to read too much, and half of them I have read, so if library books (the mental TBR pile) could count (maybe I'll ask) then I'd have a whole lot more to read!

So what I want to read:

  1. The Hunger Games
  2. Catching Fire
  3. Mocking Jay
  4. Hourglass
  5. A Storm of Swords
  6. 5 Bodies to Die For
  7. 6 Killer Bodies
  8. Shiver
  9. Linger
  10. Forever
  11. Prophecy of Sisters
  12. Heroes of the Valley
  13. Shadow's Son
  14. Faithful
  15. The Shack
  16. My Enemy, My Love
  17. Eragon
  18. Eldest
  19. Brisignr
  20. Dangerous Tides
  21. Safe Harbor
  22. Turbulent Sea
  23. Burning Wild
  24. Savage Nature
  25. And this list might grow, depending on what I read in the next month and a half, and what I don't. But mostly I'm going to be reading library books, and review books, so maybe!
