Hello, friends! I hope everyone is having a great week so far. I decided to add on a few reading challenges this year. Well, actually one, until a good friend tagged me for another, so now it’s two! Here they are below:
Netgalley & Edelweiss Reading Challenge
I found this one over at Claire’s blog. I need this challenge so bad! I’m behind on Netgalley and Edelweiss, so I’m giving this one a go.
Challenge Guidelines:
- The challenge will run from Jan 1, 2018 – Dec 31, 2018.
- Anyone is welcome to join. You do not need to be a blogger, just post your reviews and come back every month to link them up.
- Any genre, release date, request date, length, etc. counts so long as it came from Edelweiss or Netgalley.
- At the beginning of each month there will be a roundup post for you to add your reviews.
- If you forget to link up one month it’s not a problem just add your reviews next month.
- If you would like to move up or down levels that is completely fine and at your discretion.
- You can find the monthly link-ups @ readingbetweenthepages by clicking HERE
- Hashtag: #NGEW2018
Levels
Bronze – 10 Books
Silver – 25 Books
Gold – 50 Books
Platinum – 75 Books
Diamond – 100 Books
*I’ve decided to go with Silver. I have a little less than 25 books to read right now and in case I add a few more on, this one should get me caught up! I’ll update this page with a link for each review.
Like Claire, I’ll list the books here and also include a link for each review. *

Both of these challenges look wonderful Jen. Good luck with them. I am considering the Ultimate Reading Challenge, but have not made the final decision yet. I have such a hard time sticking to anything and it is pretty specific so I shall see.

The Ultimate was so fun last year! It’s actually really easy because all books count and you read much more than me so, I think you’d nail it! I know what you mean though. I’m definitely keeping it light this year. You’ll have to let me know what you decide. Good luck with whatever challenges you choose, Carla! 🙂❤
