Broaden Your Shelves Challenge

SO I got this idea when I was thinking about how I wanted to branch out in genres this year. Try a little something new or get more into a genre I'm not all that familiar with. Along the way asking for recommendations on Twitter I noticed a TON of other people saying they wanted to start trying new things too this year, and that was a goal for them, SO since I'm all social and love to do things with friends I present to you:

Broaden Your Shelves Challenge

(Meredith totally gets all kudos for name)

SO first off I would like to see how much interest there is in doing this to start with before I go through the steps of putting it all together. My ideas are to do something like this:

♥ One genre a month

♥ Read/review (reviews can be just a few lines) at least 3 books of the genre of the month

♥ I will choose 3 from recommendations I have been given, you can read those 3 or any other 3 you choose

♥ Every month my favorite out of the 3 I read I will do a giveaway for that book. (If it is something you already own you can choose a different one from the 3 I read.)

♥ You do NOT have to participate each month. If there is a genre you already read enough of and want to skip that month, that is fine. 

I went back and forth about the giveaway but I have decided that since I'm already going to be hosting 1-3 giveaways a month for all my blog readers already that the giveaways for this challenge will ONLY be for the challenge participants! I will have prizes for both US or INTL participants. It will probably go a case by case on what the book is whether the prizes will be different for US/INTL each time. 

Please let me know any questions or suggestions you may have! If you think you are interested please leave your link below. I'm hoping to get this started in February!
