I'm sure I've probably complained somewhere on my blog about not reading all the books on my TBR list. So I'm going to conquer it! The list, that is. I really need to get readin,' so that's why I'm doin' this challenge. I'm also attempting to write more southern, like I talk.
Challenge guidelines:
- This challenge will run from Jan 1, 2012 - Dec 31, 2012.
- As we would like to see quality reviews linked up to our monthly wrap-ups, only bloggers can enter. Sorry about that!
- 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 2011 and earlier! NO ARCs and 2012 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 2012 TBR PILE Reading Challenge (You need to include the info + host list + challenge button. You can also grab the button code and add it to your sidebar!)
- 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.
- At the end 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. For
participating in the mini-challenge you will get +1 entry.
- 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 - 12 books, 12 winners, INTERNATIONAL.
- 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!

Come back to me! Okay, so I'm going to start off at level 1, but might move up to level 2 if I get that far. Not sure yet. I'll try and get to all of the hosts' blogs sometime soon (for giveaways!). I'm already super excited!
Here's some of the books on my bookshelf:
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Charms for the Easy Life
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand
Band of Angels
The Last Time They Met
Blue
Sea Glass
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
A Gift from Brittany
Snow Falling on Cedars
The Rescue
Watership Down
The Song of the Lark
House of Sand and Fog
The Things They Carried
The Mermaid Chair
And that's all I got for now. Time to go post my linky! Thanks to the hosts running this darn thing.
