Here are the rules…

1. The challenge runs from January 1 to December 31.

2. You don’t have to choose your books in advance. If you do, you can change your list at any time during the year. Books can overlap with other challenges.

3. Books can be in any format – paper, audio, ebooks…it all counts!

4. You don’t have to post a review, but others would love to know about the books you are reading and may even want to add them to their reading lists.

NOTE: If you don’t have a blog and want to participate, that’s fine. You don’t have to have a blog, post in the comments section as you finish books. If you belong to a site like Goodreads and review the books there, that’s fine too. Just leave us the link. I also have a group for this challenge on Goodreads, and you can sign up here.

5. If you have a blog, take the button above, put it on your blog, and post about the challenge. Then add your name to Mr. Linky below. Please use the link to your challenge post, not the link to your home page.

6. I will have one link for signing up, one for completed reviews, and one for your wrap-up posts. I won’t have a monthly link, just one for all reviews read for this challenge.
