2012 TBR Pile Reading Challenge WRAP-UP


Welcome 2012 TBR PILE Reading Challenge participants! 

First of all, I wanted to thank you for joining this year's TBR Pile Reading Challenge! I was honoured and excited to see over 500 people sign up for our challenge - thank you for joining us! Hope you had an amazing time reading all your TBR books and you managed to tame your shelves - even if only just a little bit!

Before we move on to my December wrap-up post, I also wanted to apologize to you. As I'm sure many of you have noticed, some of our hosts failed to post their wrap-ups. I am deeply sorry about that. I myself have failed to keep track of all the wrap-up posts due to a very busy year (complete with two big moves, family issues and getting a puppy). I trusted the wrap-ups would go up as scheduled and did not bother following up and checking if they in fact did. Moreover, I was not aware of the fact that some of the hosts did not post their wrap-ups until just today, when one of the participants have brought it to my attention (thank you!). I do not know why the wrap-ups did not go up and I am sorry that you guys had no place to link up your reviews. 

To make up for that, I will be giving away two prizes during my wrap-up! One - a book of choice from Book Depository (up to $12) and two - a 2013 YA ARC bundle (3 surprise books). 


We are ready to kick off 2013 TBR Pile Reading Challenge with a new set of hosts! There are few changes, too! This year, I have decided to reduce the number of hosts to 6 (every host gets two wrap-up posts). We are also opening the challenge to everyone, it won't be blogger-only anymore! I have invited some of my favorite and most trustworthy bloggers to co-host the challenge with me and I am very confident that 2013 edition will be much better! 

2013 hosts:

Rachel @Fiktshun (http://www.fiktshun.com)
Justin @Justin's Book Blog (http://www.justinsbookblog.com/)
Tiffany @Escaping.. One Book At A Time (http://escapingonebookatatime.blogspot.com/)
Bonnie @Words At Home (http://www.wordsathome.ca/)
Emily @Doodle's Book Blog (http://doodlesbookblog.blogspot.com/)
and yours truly :)
