I gave in and bought myself a Simple Nook Touch during the Thankgiving holiday. I absolutely love it! I've already read a few books on the ereader and find it much more comfortable than reading on my laptop. It was even a bigger bonus to get free ebooks from my library. I was thrilled to find the 2012 Ebook Challenge hosted by Ladybug reads. I hope to use this challenge to keep up with all the e-galley reads I receive from Netgalley and other publishers.
Challenge Guidelines:
- This challenge will run from Jan 1, 2012 - Dec 31, 2012.
- Anyone can join, you don't need to be a blogger. If you don't have a blog, feel free to sign-up in the comments. You can post reviews to any book site (i.e. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Goodreads, etc).
- Any genre or length of book counts, as long as it is in ebook format.
- You can list your books in advance or just put them in a wrap-up post. If you list them, feel free to change them as the mood takes you.
- When you sign up, put the direct link to your post about joining the E-Book Reading Challenge.
- You can move up levels, but no moving down.
- Sign-ups will be open until Dec 15, 2012, so feel free to join at any time throughout the year.
Levels:
- Floppy disk - 5 ebooks
- CD - 10 ebooks
- DVD - 25 ebooks
- Memory stick - 50 ebooks
- Hard drive - 75 ebooks
- Server - 100 ebooks
- Human brain - 150 ebooks
At the beginning of each month there will be a roundup post for you to add your reviews for that month. If you forget, feel free to add your reviews in the following month. Any reviews submitted will be entered into the draw for that month.
There are prizes for this challenge! Yes, there will be draws every month for participants. As long as you are signed up, every review you add to the monthly roundups will get one entry into the giveaway for that month.
There will also be a grand giveaway at the end of the year for everyone who achieves their goal level (or higher). There may be different prizes for different levels, but that is not decided yet.
Goal for this challenge: 25 ebooks
