[Challenge] ABC Challenge 2012

See­ing as there is none and I’m a lit­tle too frus­trated about it, I’ve decided to host this Chal­lenge. I’d be very happy if there were one or two other blog­gers who’d co-host this Chal­lenge, but tbh, it’d sur­prise me if any­one entered. *g* I’m just doing a post like that, because there really wasn’t one already. (Except a Ger­man one that con­fused me a lit­tle oô)

Click *here* to find a post with 2012 releases sorted by title.

Here are the rules:

• Runs from Jan­u­ary 1^st-December 31^st, you can enter when­ever you feel like it.
• Goal is to read at least 13 books that fall into ONE of the fol­low­ing categories*:
• a. The titles of the books start with dif­fer­ent letters
• b. The authors’ fam­ily names start with dif­fer­ent letters
• For the first 13 books you’ll get 1 point, for every extra book you’ll get another (1) point!
• Ebooks, Audio­books, Paper­backs – Every­thing counts.. Well, except fan­fic­tion. Novel­las count, too, if they’re longer than 40 pages!
• Crossovers are per­fectly fine!
• You need to at least write a few sen­tences about the book on Goodreads or your blog! (in ANY lan­guage, Ger­man, Tieng Viet, Eng­lish, Russ­ian, idgaf!)
• Have I left out some­thing? Leave a comment!

Prices:

IF there are any par­tic­i­pants: I think 3 books? Inter­na­tional, of course. So three dif­fer­ent win­ners. If you have another sug­ges­tion, please share it with me. If you know a spon­sor or want to be one, let me know and I’ll add your price here! But I’m cur­rently unem­ployed, 18 years old and well, I think that’s enough rea­sons? LOL

How this works

Enter the link to your blog­post (there has to be a post for this Chal­lenge) and your name. I’ll post a recap in Decem­ber 2012 where you can enter to win something. : )

Par­tic­i­pants

Please enter here:

* You don’t need to pick which cat­e­gory you’ll use NOW, but read­ing five books that start with dif­fer­ent let­ters and read­ing another 8 books writ­ten by authors whose fam­ily name’s start with dif­fer­ent let­ters won’t work! : )
