Quantcast

Our First Hosted Reading Challenge


Can you believe it? Anna (Diary of an Eccentric) and I have launched our very first challenge. Its been a long time in the planning, but here is the official unveiling here at Savvy Verse & Wit.

What: War Through the Generations: Reading Challenges (because you know there has to be more than one reading challenge)

Where: Click on the blog title and go participate

When: First Challenge is WWII beginning Jan. 1, 2009 and lasting 12 months through Dec. 31, 2009

Why: Because we’re bookworms and love reading books, fictional and nonfictional. And because you want to read about the impact of war on characters and real people. Perhaps because you think we can learn from our mistakes. Doesn’t really matter? It’s books.

As Anna says so eloquently, “We spent a few months hammering out our goals, setting up the blog, pondering buttons and banners, and we’re finally ready to go live. Thanks to Monica at Monniblog, we have an awesome banner and some rockin’ buttons!”

The Rules:

1. Sign up and establish your reading goal, which must be a minimum of 5 books in 12 months; Don’t worry you can do it.

2. If you sign up by Jan. 31, 2009, and meet or exceed your reading goal for the challenge, you will be entered into a drawing for one of the prizes, which are to be determined.

3. Grab one of Monica’s ROCKIN’ Buttons:

4. Check out the list of WWII books, we’ve compiled (OK, mostly Anna compiled this list–Way to Go!)

5. If you have comments, suggestions, book suggestions, or just want to chat about the blog, books, WWII, or whatever, send an email to warthroughgenerations AT gmail DOT com or stop by the blog.

P.S. The blog won’t just be a reading challenge, we’re also planning on posting personal war stories, newsworthy stories, and other discussions. Feel free to contribute.
