Welcome to my 2013 Reading Challenges

Rules & Guidelines

• You must have a blog, a Goodreads account, a YouTube account, an Amazon account – any where you can post your reviews and share them with others. 

• There is no deadline to join the 2013 Debut Author Challenge, but make sure you give yourself enough time to achieve the goal! 

• ARCs of 2013 debuts read before January 01, 2013 do not count towards your challenge goal. 

• The 2013 debuts must be read between January 01, 2013 – January 31, 2014 to count for the 2013 Debut Author Challenge. The extra month is to allow participants more time to read the December releases.

• 2013 debuts must be young adult or middle grade in order to count towards the challenge. 

• The title must be the author’s young adult or middle grade debut. If they have previously published an adult title, and this is their first young adult/middle grade title, that counts towards the challenge. If this is their second young adult/middle grade title, it does not count towards the challenge.

• Each review equals one entry in the monthly prize pack. If you post six review titles in January, you get six entries to win the January prize pack.

Rules & 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!
