We thought it’d be fun to do a mid-year checkin for our Unearthing a Bookish Bounty challenge. As you know, Linda and I challenged ourselves to read books we own this year rather than purchasing or requesting ARCs of new books. The official rules can be found here if you’re curious. If you’re participating in any way, make sure to let us know the bookish bounty you’ve unearthed so far this year. Here is the bounty Brandee has unearthed so far this year: Brandee (un)Conventional Bookworms’s bookshelf: bookish-bounty-challenge Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh Masters and Mercenaries Bundle by Lexi Blake Mine to Take by Cynthia Eden Kiss of a Demon King by Kresley Cole Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat […]

Today is the start of a new era – because we get COYER for the whole year. And Michelle and Berls over at Because Reading decided it would be a good idea to start now that we’re all in confinement. COYER All Year Long Rules: So the first part of this is that COYER will now be all year. That’s right! For all-year COYER, there will be traditional rules: Read Your E-Reads! Every book you read MUST be in an electronic format – meaning E-Book or Audiobook. It’s okay to start a book before March 23rd, but you must be less than half way for it to count then review it during COYER. The books must be FREE or NEARLY […]

Happy 2020, y’all! I can’t believe we’re into a new year much less a new decade. To kick off a new year/decade, Linda and I are kicking off a self-challenge: Unearthing a Bookish Bounty. I’m sure we’ve all participated in challenges where we read books we own. Well, I decided I wanted to read exclusively (almost) what I own in 2020 because I know I have quite a bookish bounty on my shelves. And Linda was gracious enough (she’s such a wonderful blogger wife!) to agree to participate as well. Here’s a little glimpse into why this challenge is essential to me: As you can see, I have more than enough physical books to keep me reading for quite a […]

  2020 New Release Challenge The 2020 New Release Challenge is a year-long challenge in which we aim to read books released in 2020.  Brandee and I are the sole hosts of the challenge, and we both hope many of you will sign up and participate!  There is one post on the top of our homepage for all review links for the year, where the link is open for books you read and review each quarter. I also want to say a big thank you to Michelle @ Limabean Designs for creating our beautiful logo!! In 2019, I read 140 books that counted for the New Release Challenge, and I don’t see why this should be any different for 2020. […]

COYER Winter 2019 Sign-up WOW, it’s that time of the year again, it’s time for the COYER winter sign-up, and we are so ready for it. As usual, the rules for winter COYER are a bit stricter, but the many read-a-thons can be very helpful.

It’s okay to start a book before December 1st, you must be less than half way for it to count then review it during COYER.

Michelle and Berls from Because Reading are once again hosting the Can You Read a Series in a Month? Challenge. Lexxie and I decided we wanted to participate so we both took a look at our shelves and chose a series to buddy read. Luckily I’d already decided to binge-read in November. 😉 The series we chose is…*drum roll* the Pucked Series by Helena Hunting. We both happened to get the entire series signed at Book Bonanza. 😀               Wish us luck! What about y’all? Are any of you joining in the fun in November?   Subscribe to Blog via Email Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of […]
