2012 Books Won Challenge
January 1-December 31, 2012
I created this challenge in 2010 to challenge myself and others that have won books, to read and review some of them. The reason publishing companies supply books for book bloggers to give away is to get word out about the books and create buzz.
I hope you will join me! As an extra incentive, you get extra entries for all of my book giveaways if you join this challenge!
The Levels are:
Honorable Mention: Read 1-3 book you won.
Bronze: Read 4-6 books you won.
Silver: Read 7-9 Books you won.
Gold: Read 10 or more books you won.
The Rules:
1. You must write a review for each book that you read for it to count. If you do not have a blog you can write your reviews on a place like Amazon, Powell's, Chapters, Goodreads, etc.
2.Crossovers with other challenges are okay and you can join this challenge anytime throughout the year.
2.Crossovers with other challenges are okay and you can join this challenge anytime throughout the year.
3. Audiobooks and ebooks count, as long as you won them.
4. You can change up levels but cannot go back down a level.
5. You don't have to make a list ahead of time for this challenge but you can if you want to.
To sign up, leave a direct link to your blog post about this challenge , using Mr. Linky below. Please leave a comment as well.
Please subscribe to my blog, as I will be doing a monthly post with MR Linky. Please add your reviews for each month in MR Linky in the monthly post. For your Name, please use this format Name: (Your Name, Book Title and Author's Name) for example: (Teddy, Obsessive Reading by Helen Reader). Please be sure to use the direct link to your review, not just to your blog. Then please leave a comment.
Let's have fun!

Hi Vicki, thanks for joining! There doesn't appear to be a way I can change it, perhaps you could try to enter it again and you'll just be entered twice. Otherwise we have you in the comments. I hope you enjoy it!

I don't have a blog, but I think I will follow along with this one on a Bronze level. It seems totally inadequate, but I should be able to make that at least.

Hi Teddy, I can't seem to link up using Mr. Linky for this challenge or your ARC reading challenge. My link for both challenges is http://booksandneedlepoint.blogspot.com/2012/01/tbr-reading-challenges.html
Please let me know if there was something wrong with the linky and if you need me to come back and "link". Thanks!
