100 Books In A Year Reading Challenge 2012!

Welcome to the 100 Books In A Year Challenge 2012! I haven't done too badly with this challenge, but I still failed. At present I'm on book 72 and I imagine I will add another few before the year is out. This is the second year I haven't reached my personal goal of 100, so I'm hoping 2012 will be my year!

In 2011 I had an amazing 630 participants!! All I can say is, WOW! So I hope you will join in again this year too! For more details see below.

If you would like to keep track of my progress, you can HERE.

To Sign Up...

To sign up you MUST make a post on your blog about participating in the challenge - you then use the DIRECT URL of the post to sign up to the challenge by adding it to Mr Linky below. DO NOT just add your blog URL - this will be deleted.

You must add the button to your sidebar - make sure that it links back to this post so others can join the challenge if they wish. Easiest way to do this is to copy and paste the code displayed below!

Grab the Button!

Challenge Details

• Timeline: 01 Jan 2012 - 31 Dec 2012

• Rules: Read 100+ books in 2012 (any genre)

• You don't have to select your books ahead of time, you can just add them as you go. Also if you do list them upfront you can change them, nothing is set in stone! The books you choose can crossover into other challenges you have on the go.

• You can join at anytime. All books read in 2012 count towards the challenge regardless of when you sign up.

• At the beginning of Jan 2012, you will find a link to specific month to add your reviews.

• Audiobooks do not count, but all other formats are accepted.

• Only fiction, no non-fiction.

• This challenge can crossover to other challenges.

• You DO NOT have to write reviews of the books you read, but if you decide to then Mr Linky will be available each month so you can link up your reviews.

• You don't have to have a blog to join in - for those without a blog but who use Goodreads, Amazon, LibraryThing etc, you can add the URL to where you track your books. If you don't have a URL at all then choose a name you would like to use and then copy and paste the following link:

http://www.bookchickcity.com/2011/12/sign-up-100-books-in-year-reading.html

Please add your DIRECT URL link, not just your blog link. If you have trouble adding your URL link below, just drop me an email.
