New-Release-Challenge-450x450 LexxieOh Lexxie, Lexxie – I swore no more Challenges.

Okay, one more but that’s it.  (roll eyes) Yeah.  Right.

So, there is this New Release Challenge going on that Lexxie from (un)Conventional Bookviews and Stormi from Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My! are co-hosting.  Pretty simple Challenge.  Read certain levels of new novels released in 2015 – and what got me to join in was the mention of the NetGalley Challenge… what the heck, I might as well combine them, I’m going to be reading them anyway.  🙂

Here are the basic rules (from Lexxie’s page):

The rules for the 2015 New Release Challenge are simple:

  • Books has to be read and reviewed in 2015, and the book has to be released in 2015
  • Other challenges can be used as well, if you are participating in the Netgalley / Edelweiss challenge or in the COYER challenge, books can count towards more than one challenge, as long as the ones you use for the 2015 New Release Reading Challenge qualify to the first rule.
  • The minimum length for a book to qualify is 130 pages, it can be in any format though, physical, e-book, ARC or audiobook.
  • The New Book Release Challenge is open from January 1st through December 31st 2015, and sign-ups are open until March 15th.

There are four levels  in the New Release Challenge:

  1. 1-15 books per year – New Release Newbie
  2. 16-30 books per year – New Release Pro
  3. 31-45 books per year – New Release Veteran
  4. +45 books per year – New Release Enthusiast

I’m heading for New Release Veteran – I “think” I could do more, but not 100% sure so I’m hedging my bet here.  If I do more great if not… next year. Muhahahaha.

So, what are you waiting for go here now:

  1. Marsha, I’m so happy I could twist your arm into joining yet another challenge 😉 I knew it would help saying something about combining challenges!
    Good luck in reaching the New Release Veteran level, I’m sure you’ll make it. Also, if you have already read and reviewed some 2015 releases before today, be sure to add your reviews to the review link-up – all new releases read between January 1st and December 31st count.
    Have a great week, and happy reading.

    Yeah, Yeah *grins*

    But no more – I mean it. Maybe.

    I do have some I can add right away and I’ll get to that tomorrow. Frankly, I’m done with books for a few hours *gasp* and I’m off to level a toon up in World of Warcraft – haven’t smashed anything this week – I miss it. 😉
