2015 New Release Challenge 1st Quarter Wrap-up Post
It’s kind of amazing how fast time flies, no? We have just finished the first three months of 2015, thus, The New Release Challenge needs some kind of party, right? And when I say party, I mean giveaway. Stormi @ Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My! and myself are happy to say we’re off to a great start in the New Release Challenge, with several participants, and many reviews already linked up.
2015 New Release Challenge Giveaway
Anyone can participate in the New Release Challenge giveaway, but those who are participants in the challenge will get more possibilities for entries – it’s only fair, right? I have read and reviewed 21 new releases so far in 2015, and most of the books I’ve read have been very enjoyable. And I’m pretty much on track, since my goal is to read 100 new releases this year, and I’ve reviewed 21 already. I have a few other reviews lined up for later, just because the books won’t be released until May or June. I’m linking to my reviews below.

Congrats, you’re doing very good ! I’m avoiding challenges this year but may get tempted in 2016 😉
Oh you read a lot of new releases so far this year, almost double the amount that I read, but then you do read more than me in general so I guess that’s to be expected. There are so many good books being released this year.
I read pretty fast, Lola, so yes, once I start a book, I usually finish it the same day or the day after (unless it’s over 500 pages!).
Ahh Heidi your ambitions amaze me. I’ve read about 22 or 23 books this year (only) and i’m struggling with my end goal of 125 (not necessarily new releases) so how you’re on track with this other goal of yours is beyond me. That being said, i’m so happy you’re on schedule and enjoying this challenge. Good luck with the rest of it 🙂 xx
Yeah, I have pretty high expectations of myself, Lily… but last year, I read so many new releases, so I figured there should be a challenge to help me continue 😉
Thanks for a fun challenge!
Thanks for participating, Paul 🙂
Well, you’ve read more new releases than i have but I’m doing pretty well. I just need to link up. 🙂 Thanks for hosting a party/giveaway. *BIG HUGS*
YAY for doing well in the New Release challenge, Brandee. I need to go check the link-up once more 🙂
I will have to start adding my reviews now. I never got the original email with the link to post reviews. And for some reason this april 1st post only arrived in my email on april 7th. So i am just seeing this now.
I’m sorry about that, Jennifer, I apparently had a problem with my e-mail subscriptions, but it has been fixed. I added you into the giveaway, but unfortunately, you weren’t among the winners this time.
