October TBR challenge sign-ups!

Posted on 10:54 am | Posted in TBR Challenge | Posted by Angie | 32 Comments

Holy Moses! I looked at the calendar and realized today was September 30th. That means we need to do sign-ups for October’s TBR challenge. This month, in honor of Halloween, the challenge is to read a paranormal romance or a fantasy (can be non-romance). I seem to be glomming my books in the wrong months, because I just read a whole stack of fantasies this month, oops! I’ve updated the September TBR page with links to everyone who left me a comment or sent an email that they’d completed the challenge. Lots of you are going on the wall of shame if you don’t get those links in to me…

“Rules” of the challenge after the jump

If you’re new to the TBR Challenge, here’s how it works:

In the comments, tell me that you’ll be participating in the challenge. I’ll put your name on the list of participants (now located on its own page instead of the sidebar) and once you’ve completed reading the book AND writing a review of it, come back to the comments or email me at babybookworm@comcast.net and give me the link to your review. Reminder: you can now more easily find this post by clicking on the TBR category on the sidebar. It will be the first or second post in that category.

You can write your review any way you choose, but you can also use the cheater review form below, for easier posting I’m also including the list of themes for the rest of the year (subject to change, of course) in case you want to see what’s coming up.

Title:

Author:

Year published:

Why did you get this book?

Do you like the cover?

Did you enjoy the book?

Was the author new to you and would you read something by this author again?

Are you keeping it or passing it on?

Anything else?

Simple enough, right?

And the breakdown for this year’s challenges, unless anyone has any subsitutions they’d like to make:

November: A book originally published as an e-book (even if you have it in print now)
December: A book published prior to 2006

Keep in mind, this is a TBR challenge, so try to find a book from your TBR pile. But if you want to participate but have to get a book to do it, that’s cool too!

About Me

There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.

However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy. At my blog you'll get an odd mix of personal and professional posts about parenting, publishing, books, cooking, sewing and life in general. Come back often, comment frequently and go green—buy ebooks!

Please note that this is my personal blog and my opinions are neither that of Harlequin, nor representative of their opinions.
