Come and join us during this challenge! As some of you might know, I’m one of the 10 hosts which means that I’ll host a mini-challenge in November AND I’ll throw international giveaways during this event! If you’d like to win some fabulous prizes, have fun and read then make sure to read the challenge guidelines below and sign up at the bottom of this post!
If you have any questions about the event, the mini challenges, about how you can take part in the challenge or anything else, feel free to drop me a line or tweet me @alouetteuette !
- This challenge will run from Jan 1, 2012 – Dec 31, 2012.
- As we would like to see quality reviews linked up to our monthly wrap-ups, only bloggers can enter. Sorry about that!
- 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 2011 and earlier! NO ARCs and 2012 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 2012 TBR PILE Reading Challenge (You need to include the info + host list + challenge button. You can also grab the button code and add it to your sidebar!)
- You can move up levels, but no moving down.
- Sign-ups will be open until Dec 15, 2012, so feel free to join at any time throughout the year.
- At the end 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. For participating in the mini-challenge you will get +1 entry.
- 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 – 12 books, 12 winners, INTERNATIONAL.
- 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!
Due to the fact that I’ll have lots of exams at uni and I’ll be working on review copies as well, my aim is to achieve the Friendly Hug level.

Gorgeous blog! It's really great that we all can cohost together. I can't wait to read your review for Carrier of the Mark.
-Jenna @ Fans of Fiction
Ahh, yes! I will definitely be doing this one but I'll hold on a couple more weeks to sign up because I'm not ready to do sign up posts on my blog.
Was looking for a TBR pile reading challenge to tidy up my shelf a bit and I did find one last night but this one sounds much more fun!
I'm looking forward to this Vicky!! What a great idea to get the TBR pile down
Jenny
Definitely signed myself up to this! I'm in some serious need of getting my TBR down, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon with Uni and review copies. This will help focus me – Oh how I love to cross things off lists ;P
It's going to be great!

This is such a great idea. Thanks for the invite on Good Reads!
This is the one challenge I absolutely need to do. So glad to have something pushing me to finally read some of the books that have been on my shelf for eons.
