Yep, sounds like a good plan. Here’s the rules and pledge levels:
- Go through your E-readers and select books youâd like to read during the challenge. The book must have been Free or Nearly Free: under $5, Kindle Deals, Netgalley, Edelweiss & author review requests only (Blog Tour reviews are not accepted this time, sorry). Anyone caught not using a free book or a book that is pirated will be removed from challenge.
- Sign up with the linky below letting us know that you plan to participate. Between now and March 8th create a post announcing that youâre participating and a list of books you hope to read during the challenge (this can change). If you donât have a blog this can be done at the Goodreads group âTwo Girls and A Challengeâ Any participant that doesnât have a starter post up by 11:59 PM EST March 8th (giving you procrastinators a little more time!) will be ineligible for the grand prize.
- Start reading your books (starting March 1st) and reviewing them, either on your blog or Goodreads, Booklikes, etc. Put the link to your review (to the review URL, not your Web Address) on the review linky available March 1st, listing your blog name and the name of the book you reviewed. When you write your review, you MUST include the challenge logo and linky somewhere on the post so that we can all check out the reviews.

Blog hop thing —
YAY another COYER participant! I am going for the deep clean as well. My kindle is overfilled with freebies, cheap books and ARCs. It’s not even funny how many books on it I haven’t read yet.
Good luck in the challenge.
Thank you! And yeah, I’m very much the same. The ones I’ve listed aren’t even the tip of the iceberg. So hopefully I will surpass my goal and then some!
Some interesting books. I can’t wait to read your reviews!
Thanks! Now I just need to stop being inundated with dead tree books I should be reading!
Yay – good luck going for the deep clean, I see you’re already off to a good start đ I’m curious about Jason M. Hough seeing him on your list so much and I’ve never even heard of him! I guess I’ll be seriously watching for those reviews đ
Thanks! Normally I’d be faster than this, probably, but I’m visiting my parents and bought a truckload of books with me, and need to read as many as possible so I can leave them behind before I go home on the train… didn’t think that through! Haha.
I never heard of him before I got those three as ARCs; they’ve been out a while now and I’ve seen them around a lot, which makes me feel really guilty…
I look forward to reading the reviews of these books.. Very varied collection… đ

That’s one way of putting it! I love having lots of different stuff to read.
