Over at Literary Escapism, there's a nifty little mini challenge that has to do with the League of Reluctant Adults, one of my favorite blogs to follow. There are 20 authors on that one, all of the UF/paranormal schtuff I luh-huv to read. Link to post reviews is here. ROE for the challenge is as follows:1. You do not have to be a participant of the New Authors Challenge, but if you're not, why not?2. The Challenge will run from February 1st through the 28th. All reviews must have a February 2010 date.3. The goal is to read up to 5 different authors from the list of Leaguers. There are 20 different authors, so finding five shouldn't be too hard.4. The idea is to try a new author (it is a New Author mini-challenge), however, if you've already read all 20 of them, you can still participate, but don't re-read a novel. Try something new. Not only is this an excuse to try a certain group of authors, but it's also a great chance to promote them (and bookstores as you buy the books or the library if you go that route)There are prizes from the authors as well as from the blog site hosting this challenge. Authors o' the League:Mario Acevedo, Michele Bardsley, Stacia Kane, Caitlin Kittredge, Kat Richardson, Michelle Rowen, Dakota Cassidy, Kelly Meding, Diana Rowland, Carolyn Crane, Richelle Mead, Jeanne Stein, Molly Harper, Nicole Peeler, Anton Strout, Mark Henry, Cherie Priest, Jaye Wells, Jackie Kessler, Jennifer Rardin
Check out this challenge! It's at MyFriendAmy' blog and it challenges us to get a nonreader to read and us already readers to read more! Here are Amy's ROE!It's called the Read One Book Challenge. Here are the rules.1) Read one book you have never read before by December 31st, 2008.2) This book must not be a children's book that you are reading to your kids. It must be a book for you.3) This book may not be part of work related research. This book is for you.4) It can be fiction or nonfiction.5) Please leave a comment telling me you're joining in and write a post linking back to this post to invite others to join in as well (if you have a blog, if not just leave a comment!).6) For bonus points, spend an evening at a Barnes and Noble, Borders, or local independent bookshop browsing through books. (apparently there's a huge percentage of people who don't go to bookstores, either)7) When you've completed your book write a post about it and I'll link to it here!If you are like Amy and read 2-4 books a week, please still join in though you'll probably complete the challenge a lot faster than others. One ten dollar Amazon gift card will be awarded through random drawing to a person who signs up and completes the challenge on time. So get thee over and sign up!!
