2014 Standalone Reading Challenge Sign Ups

I am SO excited to be joining Hafsah at Iceybooks in 2014 as a co-host for the THIRD session of the Standalone Reading Challenge. The first two years, Icebooks co-hosted the challenge with Britta from I Like These Books. This year, Britta will be taking a break (she might just come back!) and I will be filling in!

We'd like to welcome back all of last year's participants. Whether you failed or succeeded (congratulations!), it doesn't matter to us - we're glad you're ready to try again. For those of you who didn't participate last year, well there's a brand new year coming up and it wants YOU to participate. Find out more about the challenge and sign up below.

The Challenge

To read 15 Young Adult and Middle Grade standalone novels in 2014 released in the United States between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014.

Eligible Books

-YA/MG standalone novels. This means that the book can not have an announced (sometimes sequels happen unexpectedly) sequel, prequel, follow up, etc.

-Companion novels count towards the challenge as well. Companion novels take place in the same world as a novel but usually follows the life of a different character. It can be read independently from the book that came before it.

-Released between January 1 - December 31, 2014 in the United States. If a book was previously released in another country but is being releasing in the US for the first time, it is eligible. At the same time, if you live in a country where it was previously released, but it is being released in the states for the first time - lucky you - it counts.

-Must be read in 2014

-Can be read in any (legally) readable format: ARC, Paperback, Hardcover or e-book. Audio books do not count toward the challenge.

    1. Yikes! Sorry about that! I chopped off that part when I was formatting, I guess. Give it a whirl! :)

      Thanks!
