2013 TBR Pile Reading Challenge January Wrap-Up + Giveaway


Hi guys and welcome to January WRAP-UP post for out 2013 TBR Pile Reading Challenge! I'm sorry this post is one day late, please don't hate me! Technical problems occurred, but I'm here now and ready to roll! :) Hope you had a great January (or rather the first 21 days of it!) filled with awesome reads! I hope you managed to read some books for the challenge - I know I did! :)

Before we move on to the WRAP-UP, I'd like to mention TWO things:

1) We now have TBR Pile Read-a-Longs to complete our challenge! :) The Read-a-Longs are hosted by Rachelia from Bookish Comforts and yours, truly and every month we're picking one book that is long-overdue! This month we're reading Divergent. Next we have: DELIRIUM and after that Will Grayson, Will Grayson. Each month we have 4 discussion posts and a giveaway to sweeten the deal. Oh, and don't forget to tweet with the #TBRRaL hashtag! :)

Click on the banner to be directed to the announcement post and read more about the read-a-longs!


2) The amazing Bonnie from Words At Home has created a Goodreads Group for our challenge! You can now keep better track of your TBR Reads and discuss the books with fellow readers! Join it here: CLICK


Now, the wrap-up!

Books I've read for the challenge this month:

- Gone by Michael Grant
- Hunger by Michael Grant
- Skid Out by Ann Marie Frohoff
- The Lost Order by Livka Galchen
- Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion
- 11/22/63 by Stephen King (still reading, actually)
- Divergent by Veronica Roth (still reading for read-a-long)

So there you have it, I've read 7 of 50 books for my challenge already, am I proud or what?! But yeah, haven't reviewed any of them yet, but no worries, I am planning to!

How did you do?

Make sure to link up your reviews in the linky and then enter them into the giveaway! 

Now, the extra challenge for this month is:

MAKE A BOOK SPINE POEM (take a picture and link it up in the comments!)
Example:

And don't forget, next wrap-up post is hosted by Racheal from Fiktshun!
