Hi everyone.

I’m popping in for two reasons. The first being to remind you that it is nearly the first of the month, meaning that my monthly email containing the mini challenge and coupon code will be going out. If you wish to join and avail yourself of this discount then I need for you to email me (loriehosty@gmail.com) and confirm your participation.

At the very least I require a list of names and emails for the folks on your team. I cannot send the email to you otherwise.

I’m also going to answer Gina.

You don’t need to sign up for Free Book Fridays specifically. We do offer a different free book every Friday, so if you place an order with our print store, then you get the free book.

That combined with our FREE book Friday’s makes keeping up with the challenge easier on the pocket book.. :-)

I didn’t see that on eHarlequin’s website – where do I sign up?

Hi ladies,

Jayne from the eHarlequin.com community here. I just want to clarify that we ask for a minimum of 50% of the books be Harlequin/Silhouette. If you choose to read/blog from our imprints exclusively, more power to you! And if you register with Lorie (loriehosty@gmail.com), she’ll be sending you a monthly email with a 10% off coupon to apply to purchases on eHarlequin to help you with those book purchases. That combined with our FREE book Friday’s makes keeping up with the challenge easier on the pocket book.. :-)

Cheers, and thanks SO much for your support!

[...] week, Harlequin sent bloggers an email letting us know about the Harlequin reading challenge. If readers read and blog about 100,000 books in 2008, Harlequin will donate 100,000 books to the [...]

Yes, definitely. I’ll post on Sunday about the “team concept” and make sure I have all the rules down. We’ll run a contest to get a name. Maybe Robin will win :). And then we all need to get writing and reading! I’m kind of excited because I plan to use the Harlequin blog to talk about books, both new and old, that might not get attention from a more mainstream reading group i.e., ebooks, debut authors, aa authors, and the like.

“Dear Harlequin” ??

I’ve been wanting to develop my reviewing skills. Did you decide if the DA team was open to commentors?

I have been the Challenge for three years now and love it. It has added a variety of books to my TBR – both harlequin and non-harlequin. I would highly recommend it as it is a fun site with lots of community.

Cady – who many just lurks and enjoys reading this site.

LOL @ the titles Wendy, and you said you weren’t creative.

Jane ~ The length of the reviews are entirely up to you. I suggest 2 paragraphs to reassure those who fear having to write something longer.

Diane ~ Because we are continuously releasing our backlist as ebooks we do count out of print books.

This is the Book Challenge Forums and these are the posted Reviews. Between the two you should find answers to your questions. If you don’t find an answer please feel free to email me at loriehosty@gmail.com
