Announcement: Vacation Reads Reading Challenge

     I'm (choose one: exhilarated, animated, electrified) to announce the Vacation Reads Reading Challenge! I'm co-hosting this (choose one: glorious, sublime, swell) reading challenge with Julie from Manga Maniac Cafe. This is a challenge specifically designed for those who love to travel through their reading. Read on for the details:

Participant Information: 
  • Those who decide to participate in the reading challenge will strive to read six Vacation Reads. Six is the number we've chosen for the challenge, but you can always read more.  
  • Anyone can participate, even non-bloggers. Non-bloggers can post their reviews on LibraryThing, Goodreads etc.
  • Because of the short time the challenge is going to run, the deadline to join is June 21. The challenge runs from June 21 to September 23.
Qualifying Books:
  • Any books in any genre, as long as the setting is somewhere you'd like to visit.
  • The setting may be fictional, fantastical, or historical, so long as you explain in your review why you want to "visit" there.
Ready to Sign Up? (The blogger version):
  • If you're ready to sign up, the first thing to do is fill out the link information. 
  • Now that you've signed up, grab a button from the Special Events page and please, please, write an announcement post saying that you're participating. Also, include a link to this post so that others can sign up if they'd like to. 
Ready to Sign Up? (The non-blogger version):
  • If you're ready to sign up, the first thing to do is fill out the link information.
  • That's pretty much it. Obviously if you don't have a blog, you don't need to grab a button or make an announcement post.  
That's it for now. As we get closer to June 21, Julie and I will update with book recommendations and information about the prize packs we'll be offering for each month of the challenge. In the meantime, if you have a questions, drop us an email: Rubysreads@gmail.com or julie@mangamaniaccafe.com.
