100,000 Book Challenge

Taller than a 10,000 book TBR pile…, it’s the eHarlequin.com 100,000 Book Challenge!

Once again, eHarlequin.com challenges you to new reading heights. IF we can read 100,000 books in total, we can beat our 2007 record and read a mind-boggling, and unprecedented 100,000 books! Every book counts in every format (eg audio and ebook), and you'll be able to join up all year long since we won't have a cut off. But not only that, if we read 100,000 books or close to it, then we're planning on donating an equivalent number of books to a worthy cause. It's a world wide reading-fest with members from the UK, New York, Toronto and beyond all reading in the biggest reading blitz EVER!

So...don't just sit there...READ SOMETHING!!

ATTENTION CHALLENGERS!

The focus of this year’s challenge is to significantly benefit a charity that I can’t name but hope to shortly (we’re in discussion). In previous years the focus of the Book Challenge was to read 100 books in a calendar year. Last year we introduced the team aspect to assist readers who were unable to read 100 books/year to do so with others in a team format. Our new community platform allows us to accept participants into the challenge at any point throughout the year without cutting the sign ups off in January and without my having to build each individual blog and lose my mind. This year each book review is counted in one centralized counter and all blogposts feed into one central Challenge blog so Lorie doesn’t lose HER mind! :-)

This new focus renders the team aspect of the blogs somewhat moot in as much as we are now ALL one big team striving to reach one wonderful common goal together. However, I recognize that community members enjoyed the camaraderie of team reading. So, if readers wish to blog their reviews loosely grouped as teams by identifying them with a team tag then I will allow it. But, please make sure you register your team names with Lorie…and Keep Reading!
