TBR2010

Wel­come to the TBR 2010 Info Page

Like..what is it?

The TBR Chal­lenge is where read­ers pick books out of their tbr piles, read them and post about them on the des­ig­nated day of each month until the end of the year.

Goal To read as many book(s) as you can from your own stash of books in order to make room for new books. In the­ory any­way. Keep in mind that you want to get to those books that you’ve been mean­ing to read in like for­ever.

Themes They are merely sug­ges­tions. You know what you have in your moun­tain of books. Don’t like the theme, hey, read what you want out of your stack of books and review it with us on the third Wednes­day of every month.

This is vol­un­tary I’m not gonna point and laugh at you if you miss the dead­line or skip a month. Or two. This is your chal­lenge baby. Make the most of it.

Why is it only on a cer­tain day? Well, I like read­ing all the reviews on one par­tic­u­lar day. So sue me. On this very page, I will have a link to all the par­tic­i­pants. Dead links will be deleted. Yes, I will be check­ing these reg­u­larly. Other quick notes: no you don’t have to link to every­body. Yes, you can link to this page since this is where all the links will be. Other than that, let’s get this party started.

Any fur­ther ques­tions for me or if you want to add your link here, just drop me a email (see bot­tom of page).
