2012 Book Blogger Recommendation Challenge Sign Up

The 2012 Book Blogger Recommendation Challenge is a challenge to read some books that other book bloggers have recommended. It's hosted by Reading with Tequila, so thanks to them!

The Levels:
Level I - Read 5 books from the 2011 Book Blogger Recommendation List
Level II - Read 10 books
Level III - Read 15 books
Level IV - Read 20 books
Level V - Read 20+ books

The Rules:

  • Challenge will run January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. Participants can join anytime throughout the challenge.
  • Create an intro post, linking back to this post. 
  • Sign up with the MckLinky below. Please link to your challenge intro post, not your blog home page. 
  • Chose your own books from the list. You can decide to read books only on the Top 25 list or from the entire recommendation list. You do not have to make a list of books before the challenge begins.
  • All forms of books acceptable (audiobooks, eBooks, etc.)
  • Rereads do not count towards the completion of the challenge. The challenge is about discovering books that are new to you.
  • You don't need a blog to participate.
  • Reviews, while always appreciated, are not mandatory.
I'm signing up for level V, since when I looked at the list, and got rid of the ones I'd already read, or didn't think I'd like, there was over 200 books. So I can easily find 20 books in there to read! Yep.
