Welcome to 2012 TBR PILE Reading Challenge!!!
6 BLOGGERS, 12 MINI-CHALLENGES, 24 BOOKS TO WIN!!!
We all have those books. We buy them, win them, they're gifted to us.. Then we put them up on a bookshelf and there they stay, collecting dust, waiting for the time when we'll finally decide to pick them up..
Join us on a quest to dust off your TBR Pile and read all the books you've been telling yourself you'll read next time you'll get a chance.. This is your chance! And we've got PRIZES!!! :D
Challenge Guidelines:
- This challenge will run from Jan 1, 2013 - Dec 31, 2013.
- Anyone can enter! You don't have to be a blogger, as long as you review the book you've read! (On your blog, Amazon or Goodreads/Shelfari!)
- Any genre, length or format of book counts, as long as it is a book that's been sitting on your shelf for some time now. Only books released in 2012 and earlier! NO 2013 ARCs and 2013 fresh-off-the-press releases allowed!
- 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 in the linky, put the direct link to your post about joining the 2013 TBR PILE Reading Challenge. (If you don't have a blog, post about it on Facebook or Tweet!)
- You can move up levels, but no moving down.
- Sign-ups will be open until Dec 15, 2013, so feel free to join at any time throughout the year.
- On the 20th of each month one of the hosts will post a wrap-up. Every wrap-up will have it's unique theme, a mini-challenge, a giveaway and place for you to link up your reviews from this month. For each review you link up, you will get one entry in a drawing of one book of choice from Book Depository. It's open to INTERNATIONALS. The giveaway will be open until the next wrap up post goes up! (i.e. the entire month)
- If you miss a wrap-up post + giveaway, you can link up your reviews next month. Do not, however, try to link up one review twice - we will be checking ;)
- December is a wrap-up for the whole year. All the book reviews you linked up January-November + the ones you'll link up in December will be entered into a HUGE giveaway - a box of books.
- You don't have to follow all the hosts to join the challenge, but you do have to follow all of us to be entered in giveaways!

I only made it to "A Sweet Kiss" this year. Gonna have to shoot for "Married With Children" next year. ::sigh:: I was slacking.
I saw the button for this and my first thought was "Evie has to be the host". Lol! Hoping to get to A Sweet Kiss, at least!
Thanks for hosting again!
I can't tell if I'm officially signed up anywhere. I've clicked a lot of links! :)
I can't wait to take some time to read for pleasure again. It's been too long.
I totally failed the challenge this year, but I am going to try again next year. I have so many books that I got this year that I am dying to read. I will sign up on the linky once I put a post together. :)
This looks like such a awesome challenge. Sighing up :)
I have question: Suppose I have a Bind-up sitting on my shelf that has two books in it. If I read the bind-up, would it count as two books or one?
Hi Evie, I'm interested in joining this challenge. But, since I am Indonesia, some of my books are by Indonesian authors or Indonesian translation. Is it okay if I make review in Indonesian in my blog for those books? Or must I make reviews in English only? How about books by Indonesian author? Can I include them to the list?
thanks before
I signed up! I'm being ambitious this year, but like you, Evie - I want to read more of what I WANT to read, and stop taking on so many ARCs, etc. :)
Love the sound of this one! Similiar to a challenge I did this year :)
Aiming for A Sweet Kiss!
Sign up post scheduled for next week :)
Ooops... accidentally just posted the link to my blog in the linky. :(

Thanks for hosting this challenge. Hoping to reach A Sweet Kiss!
I just realized I didn't link up my reviews all 2012. LORD! What was I thinking. LOL! Can I post them all now? On the Dec. wrap up?
How can I sign up?
I remember signing up a couple weeks ago and my link was up, but it's apparently not there anymore?
No idea why, but I resubmitted :/
This is going to be fun! Happy new year!
Yay! I signed up a while ago & realized I din't give my goal! I don't have a blog, so I'm using Goodreads account. Which I linked up. I'm aiming for a friendly hug... 11 to 20 books. Hopefully I'll go over, but we shall see! Good luck everyone, have fun and Happy New Year!
I'm really looking forward to this challenge, BUT, I think I might be brain-dead, how do we link up our reviews?
I did about 30 last year, I plan to do 50 books this year
I did about 30 last year, I plan to do 50 books this year

does the review have to be in English, or can I write it in my native language?
Married with children + some other books for sure ;)
