Mini Blog Ahead Challenge

Mini Blog Ahead Challenge

The Blog Ahead Challenge is hosted by Anna @ Herding Cats and Burning Soup. I first participated in the full month of November challenge last year, and it was so nice to get farther ahead with my scheduling. That’s why I’m participating in the Mini Blog Ahead challenge now, it runs from May 1 through May 15. As I will be travelling from May 9th and only get back home on the 16th, I will even make my very own challenge a bit shorter than what Anna has planned. I’ll blog ahead as much as I can from May 1st through May 8th, and I hope to have both reviews, discussion posts and Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts posts all […]

2016 New Release Challenge Update – January

2016 New Release Challenge Update – January The first month of 2016 is already over, can you believe it? Have you read many books for the challenge so far? I hope you’re doing well and are on track based on the level you have challenged yourself to. January is often a busy month, even if the festivities and the stress around that is over, but hopefully, you have had time to enjoy some new books as well as write some reviews, and I’m sure at least a few of those books are 2016 releases. This challenge is hosted by Stormi @ Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My and me, Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews. We are definitely having fun with the challenge, […]

2015 New Release Challenge Wrap-up

2015 New Release Challenge Wrap-up

2015 New Release Challenge Wrap-up For the first edition of the New Release Challenge, both Stormi @ Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My! are very happy with the participation from everyone… especially because we haven’t been as ‘on top’ of the updates as we had planned to be – but we promise to do better in 2016. We have already planned some fun things for next year, and there is a Facebook Group for participants as well, that way we can get to know each other better, cheer each other on and pimp 2016 New Releases as we go 🙂 I read 146 new releases this year, which is even more than I had anticipated, and I’m very happy with exceeding […]

2015 Audiobook Challenge Wrap-up

2015 Audiobook Challenge Wrap-up

2015 Audiobook Challenge Wrap-up This was the first year I participated in the challenge, and also the first year I really got into listening to audiobooks. I still didn’t meet my goal, though, even if it was quite low – 12 books which is only one per month. The ones I did manage to listen to were really good, though, and I enjoyed them! Some of the narrators I’ve got to ‘meet’ thanks to the challenge were so good! I think my favorite is still Bahni Turpin, she narrates the Downside Ghosts series, because not only does she have an amazing voice that she’s able to change so it sounds either female or male, she has the downside dialect down […]

2016 Challenges Sign-up

2016 Challenges Sign-up

2016 Challenges sign-up I love bookish challenges, and I’ve found some new to add to my 2016 challenges, as well as those I have already participated in before. I have decided to do one single sign-up post for all the challenges I plan on participating in, just to make it easier for myself to have one place to look at. I will have separate challenge pages for keeping up during the year, though. Of course, I’m participating in the challenge I am co-hosting with Stormi @ Books, Movies, Reviews Oh My! The 2016 New Release Challenge. The sign-ups are open until February 15th, 2016. For the 2016 New Release Challenge, I am going for New Release Veteran and 45+ books. […]

COYER: 77 Days of Scavenging and Reading

COYER: 77 Days of Scavenging and Reading

  COYER Scavenger Hunt Wrap-up I remember how excited I was about the summer COYER challenge also being a scavenger hunt when our lovely hosts Berls @ Fantasy Is More Fun, Michelle @ Because Reading and Stormi @ Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My! revealed what they had imagined for all of us participants. And now, it’s over – it feels like summer just passed in a blink this year. Because the challenge was going to last 77 days, I made myself the goal of reading 50 books, and I wanted to try to have 20 of those also count towards the scavenger hunt. So, do you think I made it? *Drumroll* I did manage to complete my goal, and I’m […]
