Hello everyone!
Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year!!!
This new year arrives with 2 challenges. It's the first time I organize challenges so I hope you like them and I hope you join.
Each of them we'll have one winner (chosen randomly among everyone that completed it) who will get a $10 Amazon GC.
Want to know more?
We have THE ABC CHALLENGE and the SCAVENGER HUNT CHALLENGE. Both will run from January 1st until December 31st 2014. (but you can join whenever you want)
ABC CHALLENGE:
You have to read one book starting with each letter of the alphabet. (26 books, so it's considered a hard challege) It's the American alphabet so no Ñ needed :D
Rules:
- It can be any genre
- It can't be a novella or short story
- Roman numbers can be considered letters. (For ex: XVI)
One more thing: if the book name is, for example: The Maze Runner, it starts with T not with an M, ok?
THE SCAVENGER HUNT
You have to read 22 books (it is hard, I know, BUT FUN!) and each of them must fill the following requirements:
- An Apple
- A Ball
- A car
- An eye
- A flower
- Lips
- Wings
- A mask (can be any kind)
- A book where one of the MAIN characters is named Sophie
- A cover with only half of the face showing (right, left, upper or lower)
- A girl wearing a white dress
- A couple holding hands
- Body/bodies with no head (see rules below)
- Someone with a tattoo on the cover
- A book with a purple cover
- Someone wearing Jeans
- The third book in a series
- A book with Red letters in the title
- A book with a one-word title
- A title containing a name in it (ex: Alice in Wonderland, Emma)
- A book released in 2014
- A book that has been made into a movie/tv show (or it's about to be done)
Rules:
- It can be any genre
- It can't be a novella or short story
- You can help yourselves using Goodreads' lists
- When I say bodies with no head I don't mean anything gruesome lol, just something like this: CATCHING JORDAN .
- The thing you look for must be "the protagonist" or at least an important object of the cover. So, for example, you look for a Flower:
RIGHT WRONG
How to participate:
It's really simple:
- Create a folder in Goodreads with the name of the challenge. For ex: IKTB-ABC-Challenge
- Come back and paste the link to that folder in the form below (so I know where to look!!!)
- Start reading and adding your books there :)
IMPORTANT: To check that you really read the book, you need to post a review. No need to be super long but try to make it meaningful, things like: "Great Book!" or "I hated it!" won't suffice lol
What are you waiting for? Start reading!!!
And if you are a blogger and want to add the sidebar banner to your blog and link it to this page, that would be totally awesome :D

ReplyDelete¡Happy new year 2014! I join both challenges, thanks, I was looking for challenges to join this year. Kisses ;)
ReplyDeletehi! Sena! Thanks for joining and good luck! :)
DeleteProbably being an idiot but HOW do I create a folder on goodreads?
ReplyDeleteNo idiot at all! It's a shelf. You go to "my books" and in the left side of the monitor you'll see "bookshelves (edit)" click on edit and then "add a shelf"
DeleteGood luck!!!
For the challenge do we need to find a whole new book or can we re-read a book we have?
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! The idea is to read books you haven't read yet, because otherwise, you can skip parts and still be able to make the review, so that wouldn't be fair for others. :) Of course, if you have the book but haven't read it, it's totally fair.
DeleteHappy New Year!
I join both challenges and made an entry in my blog to follow my progress from there also.
