I am excited to participate in Take Control of your TBR Pile hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer for the first time. I adore her blog and am always looking for reasons to read my TBR pile. Seems silly, right? Well with reviews I feel like I must complete those first before reading for "fun". Does that make sense??? I do much better with that when I enter a challenge!
Here are the rules from Kimba's blog:
~*~*Rules*~*~

- The rafflecopter will only allow you to enter up to two books daily, so update as soon as you finish a book.
- Earn an extra entry for adding Take Control Button to your blog, or facebook (with link-back)

Prize: New 2015 release valued at up to $20.00. I will do pre-orders as well. (may request eBook or Audible audio copy)
=================================================================================
I only have 2 reviews set up for March so far, so I will be able to devote almost a whole month to my TBR pile. YAY. I am so excited for this challenge :).
I wish I had fantastic goals in mind, but I don't. I just want to be able to read as many books as possible in March. I will update as much as I can, and plan to visit other participating blogs during this time also. I love being introduced to new blogs :). Good luck to all of you who are participating. I look forward to seeing your updates.
This will work out perfectly for you and I just know you are going to put a dent in that TBR pile :)
ReplyDeleteI hope so! Mine is growing every day ;)
DeleteI'm excited for this one too! I'm going to kind of wing it I think, and choose from a big selection of books that I feel like I never get to. I do have some review books, but Im gonna put them on hold or just do a few :D
ReplyDeleteI have a few as well, but I want to get them done this month so that I can have the whole month devoted to the challenge :)
DeleteYay! Glad you are taking part in this as well. I so need to get my act together and get my post up!
ReplyDelete:) Ya, could you hurry with that? hehe. kidding
DeleteGood for you! I hope you do well!! I have so much going on that I decided not to join, but I think it's a fabulous idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI always have a lot going on and decided it was time to do something I wanted to do. It may stress me out, but I will be able to put a dent into my TBR pile now :).
DeleteGood luck! Maybe you will finally surpass me in books read this year. (although, you are probably VERY close...)
ReplyDeleteNo sir! You are so so far ahead of me. I don't get to work at home all day and listen to books ;). hehe. I plan on surpassing you. Maybe that is really my intent in entering..hehe ;)
DeleteOOOOhhh, I think I may need to join this one. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
ReplyDeleteI am just excited I brought something to YOUR attention :).....hehe You have brought many things to my attention it's nice to return the favor ;)
DeleteSo do I! I think all the books on my self right now that are "my books" were published last year, so I am good. Good luck :)
