Hi gang! Today, I am so excited to share our 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 5 – October 2.
As a reminder, the event is a series of four, week-long reading challenges. Each week has a sponsor and an accompanying prize(s). 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). Full rules and contest details will be upcoming next week and it is never too soon to start picking your books! And check out our Coming Soon post for more detail on how it all works, this year’s challenges, and what we are reading.
Every year, we have some fabulous publishers and amazing authors who help support our event with their generous prize contributions! Everyone was super generous this year so please show them all some love!

Hi Jay. Will the Carina paperbacks and the grand prize be international?
Yes to both! There will obviously be some delay getting the prizes in hand given the mailing times, but both publishers generously are offering international mailing.
What a wonderful collection of prizes! Thank you to all the authors and companies who are donating. And thank you, Jay, for all your work in organizing this event.
Thanks Kareni! I’m really excited for Challenge Month! Seems to be all coming together!
The prizes look great. I have a tentative TBR for the challenge month.
That’s great! Glad to hear that you are joining us!
