Hi gang! Today, I am so excited for one of my favorite posts of the year… Reading Challenge Month Prize Preview! This is the time when I get to share the most amazing prizes donated by some incredibly generous authors and publishers. They will all be a part of our upcoming Reading Challenge Month, running September 7 – October 3.
Every year we have some fabulous publishers and amazing authors who help support our event with their generous prize contributions! As a reminder, the event is a series of four, week-long reading challenges. Each week has a sponsor and an accompanying prize. And then there is a huge grand prize at the end! Readers can enter to win prizes by commenting on our challenge reviews and/or by reading along any of the weeks with their own challenge books and writing a mini review at the end of the week (one entry per comment, 10 entries per read-along review). You can get more details on the event here, including this year’s reading challenges. Full rules and contest details will be upcoming as we get closer and it is never too soon to start picking your books!
Like I said, this year I was blown away by the fabulous prizes, and please let’s show our amazing sponsors some love.
