2014 "Real" Book Challenge #RealBooks


http://www.fictionfare.blogspot.ca/p/real-book-challenge.html

This challenge is being hosted by Jaime & Erin @ Fiction Fare and Meg & Kassiah @ Swoony Boys Podcast.

Here are the details copied from Jaime's and Erin's blog:
2014 "Real" Book Challenge



Challenge Guidelines:
  • *This challenge will run from Jan 1, 2014 - Dec 31, 2014.
  • *The challenge is open to anyone! You don't have to be a blogger, as long as you have a place to post about the challenge. (Your blog, Amazon, Goodreads, Twitter, Facebook, youtube, tumblr, etc.)
  • *Any book counts. It can be any genre, any length, and as old or new as you want. If you can hold it in your hand and turn the pages yourself, it belongs here. (This includes Advanced Reader Copies.)
  • *Feel free to list your books in your first post or wait until the end of the year and write them in a wrap-up post. Even if you list them, you can always make changes later.
  • *Sign-ups will be open until Dec 1, 2014, so feel free to join at any time throughout the year.
  • *When you sign up in the linky below, put the direct link to your post about joining the 2014 “Real” Book Challenge. (If you don't have a blog, post about it wherever you plan on making all your challenge posts this year!)
  • *On the 1st of each month we will post a wrap-up post, on Swoony Boys Podcast and Fiction Fare. Every wrap-up will have a giveaway and place for you to link up your wrap-up posts for the month. Each book that you read in the month will get you one entry in our giveaway for the month. Prizes will vary, and winners will be announced the following month in our newsletter.
  • *If you miss a wrap-up post + giveaway, you can link up your books the next month. Don’t try to count a book twice, we’ll be watching!
  • *December will be a wrap-up for the whole year. All the books you read January-November + the ones you'll link up in December will be entered into a GRAND PRIZE giveaway.


Still with us? Ready to join? Here’s how:


  • Write a post about joining the 2014 “Real” Book Challenge on your blog. (If you don't have a blog, post about it on Facebook, tweet about it via Twitter, or put it some other place of your choosing.)
  • In your post, don't forget to include: the button/banner, link back to our sign-up page, the level you're aiming at (listed below) and a list of books you're hoping to read for the challenge. (That last one is optional!)
  • Put the challenge button in your sidebar. (there’s a grab link in this post!)
