Questions 1-9 pretty much stay the same. Question 10 usually pertains to the month's challenge. Thanks Rel.

1. Title
2. Author
3. Copyright
4. How long was the book languishing in your TBR pile?
5. What made you buy/borrow the book in the first place?
6. What were your thoughts on the story?
7. Now do you wish you read the book sooner?
8. Any questions/statements for the author?
9. Where will the book reside now?

10.The challenge is to read a book about mothers, law enforcement, or the military. Did the story showcase these professionals in a new light? Did you find a new appreciation for being a mom, being in law enforcement or being in the military? If you do, thank one/all of these professionals for a job well done!

The Easy Way

I decided to award the book the easy way this month. I'm so busy...

I will throw those meeting the challenge into a hat to draw a winner for a paper/trade book of your choice.

You lucky readers you! Spread the word!

Next month it may not be that easy. (cue sinister music)

New Book Contest Coming for May

I'm thinking about a new twist to win a book for the May challenge...any suggestions?

Anyway, anyone interested in joining me for the May (can you believe it's May?) challenge, leave a comment.


And...you still have time to meet April's challenge. I'll accept the cat ate my computer mouse! LOL.

Oh. If you haven' t already: click on the linked blogs to see the books others have read.

The Winner IS...

Deborah is the winner!!! Yay Deborah! Check out Books, Movies, and Chinese Food on the sidebar to read her entry.

As Jennifer reminded me: we still have time left to complete the challenge.

Crack the Spine Already

Jennifer at So Many Books...has met the challenge. Click on her blog in the sidebar to read it. I haven't even cracked the spine on my book! Well at least I've found my book, dusted it off, and have shelved it with my other "currently reading"books.

Well it's a start!

Stop shaking your head.

Remember: to win the book, you must comment on any April challenge post on or after
April 15, 2007. I thought it would make things interesting!

Have you found your book? You may need a duster. *smile*

Contest!!!

New Rules ADDED Below on 4/6/07

This month the challenge is to read the OLDEST book in your TBR! (4/6/07: either by copyright or by the time it's been sitting in your pile. I'm going with the longest in my pile. I have an older one by copyright but I purchased it last year. I thought it would be fun to read the one I bought years ago.)

That's right. You may just have to topple your TBR pile to find it.

This is how to enter the contest:

*Comment that you are joining the April challenge
*Find and read your book
*Post your challenge review on your blog whenever you want

*HOWEVER, the first person to let me know they have posted their review on/after 4/15, wins the book!

Happy reading!

NO RULES, JUST RIGHT: I'm going to borrow the slogan from the Outback Steak House and an Inspirational Romance author (I can't remember her name right off) to add an addendum:

• Have Fun
• You can read NON Fiction
• You can read non-Christian fiction. Let us know if any offensive material is included in the book. The real objective for this blog is twofold: build community by blog hopping and to whittle down the ole TBR. But, you can even read a NEW (gasp) book.
• You don't have to find the month's selection. It's just a guide to mix things up. Shoot, if another book calls out to you; answer it!
• **Even if you don't meet the challenge, post something for us to visit. Me and my crazy self would post something funny like a picture of a boxer bobbing and weaving with a caption: "I didn't meet the challenge. And What?" I would fall out laughing ! Okay. I only thought that was funny? Understand however, you wouldn't be eligible to win the book, but hey...
• Here's the only rule you must follow: HAVE FUN READING !
