#Readathon: Blame it On the Bloggers Mini-Challenge

Readathon-ers! Who's still awake? Who's still reading? What time is it where you are? It's hour 22, which makes it 5:00am in my time zone, and I'm pre-writing this post because let's be honest, I'll likely have fallen asleep by the time it goes up. BUT who said I can't give prizes in my sleep?

No one, that's who. And so:

blame it on the bloggers readathon mini challenge & giveaway


I love a lot of things about Readathon, but I particularly love discovering so many new books AND new bloggers. So this Mini-Challenge is in that spirit: what book(s) have you discovered and added to your TBR pile because you saw it mentioned/read/discussed during Readathon... and what blogger(s) do you blame credit for making your TBR list just *that* much longer?

To enter:

1) Post up on your social media network or blog of choice (Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, blog post, YouTube, Instagram) the title of the book you've added to your TBR list, and be sure to tag/link to the blogger who put it there!

2) Comment below with a link to your post (make sure it's a link to your actual post and not your whole blog/channel) and I'll draw a winner at noon EST (what would be Hour 29 in Readathon Time).

3) Make sure you leave a valid email address so I can contact you if you win!

I'll draw a winner at noon EST (what would be Hour 29 in Readathon Time).
Winner will receive one book of their choosing (maybe your new TBR addition?), valued up to $15, from The Book Depository. Open internationally to wherever The Book Depository ships. 

Happy readathon-ing!

    I blame it on the blogger Rikke from http://paperbackcastles.blogspot.dk/. I read her review on "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" by Neil Gaiman and that put the book on my TBR for this ReadAThon :D

    I actually only added 2 more books to my list the last 22hours - which is very little for me. But than again, my tbr pile is at over 3500 books - so it doesn't have to grow any more. The first book #BlodPåSnø was added because I saw it in the stores and remembered that my sister had bought the book for me. So nothing to so with #readathon The second,#PlaylistForTheDead was @raenne s post in a goodreads group about a read along around it a few of them were doing!

    (1) I'm awake (kinda-awake, sorta-awake) and I've got three hours to finish the last 105 pages of Middlemarch.

    I just can't resist a mini-challenge, too.

    I've added Tess of the D'Urbervilles to my TBR list, and for that enormous title I blame Yamini @skepticalreader from Must Read Faster.

    Well, just two sections of it -- and just early in the readathon, since I knew it required more brain power than I'd have later in the day!
