It's That Time Again: 2012 Sign-Ups

Good day, Addicts!!

It's that time of year where we finally admit to our addictions and try to do something about them. Some of us need to admit we have a bit of a problem. Some of us need to admit we have a huge problem. Some of us just really want to enjoy each other's pain and humiliation while completing challenges. (That's why CMash does this with me... so she can spend the year laughing uproariously at my futile attempts to cut back.)

Cheryl from CMash Loves to Read and Gina from Hott Books are two such people. We each can stand proudly and say,

I am a Reading Challenge Addict.


So we are challenging each of you who can also say that you also are a Reading Challenge Addict.

We'll be giving away prizes and recognizing those who are meeting their own expectations by completing the challenges they've entered.

How addicted are you?

  • Easy as Pie: 1-5 Challenges (Entered & Completed)
  • On the Roof: 6-10 Challenges (Entered & Completed)
  • In Flight: 11-15 Challenges (Entered & Completed)
  • Out of This World: 16+ Challenges (Entered & Completed)

Rules:

We're not making this a difficult challenge, actually, it's going to be very simple!
  1. This challenge will begin on January 1, 2012 and end on December 31, 2012.
  2. Write a starting post joining the challenge and outlining your challenges.
  3. Track all of your challenge accomplishments - good & bad.
  4. Stop by to join us in the mini-challenges, updates & extra giveaways throughout the year.
Easy, right? Who wants to be in on the fun? What else will we be doing? We'll have giveaways for our participants to enter and unannounced special drawings for commenters on the site so be sure to leave your email address with your comment! Are you ready? Sign up here to enter:

Are You In?

Happy Fall!!

How is everyone??

CMash & I are just terrific!! I'm joining challenges like there's no tomorrow and she's laughing like a hyena. For some reason she thinks I have a bit of a problem. Something about having more challenges than there are days in the year - I'm not really sure because I was in the process of signing up for a challenge when she was scolding me for little 'problem'.

Anyway, I'm SO into the 2012 Challenges already.

Jamie at 'An Eclectic Bookshelf' already has a ton of fun ones up and 'A Novel Challenge' has done a major overhaul since they came under new management and are all of these challenges!

So, I've been thinking...

Who Is In for 2012?


I know I am!!

I'll be creating a new linky in the coming weeks so that we can all sign up and commit ourselves as addicts in 2012.

August Update

I'm late! I'm late! Yes, I'm pulling that Rabbit from Alice routine again. Ugh! I really need to stop that!

So, my darling Challenge Addicts.

How are your challenges coming? Have you completed the linky to share your challenge success?

Reading Challenge Addict

As you all know, I'm offering 5 books from my personal library to one lucky participant this month. This giveaway will be open until August 31st. All you have to do to enter is to link a post stating that you've completed a challenge to the linky on our Completed Challenges page. Enter as many challenges as you've completed... but, please, only one entry per challenge. And since we have so many participants, I'll give away a second set of 5 books to a lucky second place winner IF we end up with more than 100 completed challenges.

(This giveaway is open to anyone in the US or Canada.)

I'll draw one winner in September.... unless we get more than 100 entries... then I'll draw two winners.

With that said. I have good news and bad news.

Bad News: There are only two weeks left to get those challenges done and enter them into the linky.

Good News: We already have 68 entries! We only need 32 more to have a second winner... and since there are more than 50 of us we should all just try to get one more done and entered before the 31st.

So, go out there and get some challenges finished!!
