2017 Reading Challenges Wrap Up!

 Hey everyone!!  This is my reading challenges wrap up and I have to sadly say that I didn't complete all the reading challenges for this year. I've only managed to complete a few of the challenges for the year, even though that is still an accomplishment since I rarely complete reading challenges. Here's to hoping that 2018 is the year I can complete more reading challenges!

Beat the Back List Reading Challenge 2017

Hosted by: Novel Knight









Guidelines

This challenge will run from January 1st to December 31st, 2017. 
That’s right. You have en ENTIRE YEAR to complete your goal.
Books must be released prior to 2017
(this challenge isn’t for new releases)
That’s it!
Set your reading goal
Pick the books you want to read
READ!
This is more about you working toward decreasing your TBR stack alongside a bunch of other readers! You can read as many or as few books as you want. Read for other challenges. Buddy read. Do whatever it takes to get your TBR under control!
Post updates throughout the year with #beatthebacklist

How to Earn Points

Post Challenge TBR/goals  (on blog, Goodreads, social media, etc) = 20 points
(note: simply adding your blog URL to the link-up does not count for this – see example here)
Read 10 pages = 1 point
Write review = 50 points
Cross-post review to a retail website (Amazon, B&N, etc) = 15 points
There will be other opportunities to earn points during Twitter chats, random hashtag days, and other small events to be announced throughout the year.
When you sign up for the Hogwarts mini challenge, you’ll receive a randomized challenge ID name that you can use to submit books and reviews for points once the challenge starts.


I update that list every few days so if you don’t see your name right away DON’T PANIC. I will add it.
Starting in 2017 there will be a form that you can save/bookmark to add your reading progress. Please note that you’ll need some type of confirmation so whether it’s a blog post talking about what you read each week/month or a link to your Goodreads “review” of the book, etc.
Points will reset every month to give all houses a chance to win the cup for the next month. I WILL be keeping a total count of points, however, as well as how many points each person has earned for the end of the year celebration!
