ARC Reading Challenge 2010

---

Why this challenge?
The ARC Reading Challenge 2010 is being hosted by Teddy Rose at So Many Precious Books, So Little Time. I have been lucky enough to receive several advanced reading copies (ARC) of books to review here at Blue Archipelago so this challenge is a perfect fit.

Challenge Dates
January 2 – December 30 2010

Rules

1. List all of the ARCs that you have to read right now. Then throughout the year, you must continue updating that list as you receive more ARCs. (This is important). You should also strike out the ones that you finish.

2. The Levels

Level Bronze: Read up to 12 ARCs

Level Silver: Read 24 ARCs

Level Gold: Read 25 or more ARCs

If you choose a lower level, you can always change it to a higher level if you like. However, you cannot go from a higher level back down to a lower level.

3. Crossovers with other challenges are allowed and audio-books are allowed as long as they are ARCs.

4. Read the books and review them on your blog. If you don’t have a blog, you can post your review on sites like Powells, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc.

5. Please subscribe to my blog, as I will be doing a monthly post with MR Linky. Please add your reviews for each month in MR Linky in the monthly post. For your Name, please use this format Name: (Your Name, Book Title and Author’s Name) for example: (Teddy, Obsessive Reading by Helen Reader). Please be sure to use the direct link to your review, not just to your blog. Then please leave a comment.
