Sign Up for Our 2012 “Highway to Hell” Reading Challenge
Demons. Fallen Angels. Reapers. Ghouls. Nephilim. Devils. Revenants. These figures have frightened and intrigued humanity since the dawn of time. The things that lurk in the dark and seek to torment us make up a great deal of my reading so it’s no surprise that I decided to host a Reading Challenge dedicated to them.
I hope you’ll join me on my continued journey to the darkside…
How to Sign Up
- If you have a blog, you will need to create a sign-up entry and link that below in the comments to participate.
- If you do not have a blog, you are welcome to link your GoodReads, LibraryThing or Shelfari account in the comments (if you make a shelf/tag specifically for this event [i.e., Highway-to-Hell-Challenge-2012], please link directly to that so everyone can see what books you’ve chosen to read). Reviews posted on retail websites will not count.
- Those with no online presence – be it blog or other – can still participate by commenting below with a message like “Hi, I don’t have a blog or account but I’ll be reading along with you guys!”. However, you will unfortunately not be eligible for the grand prize since you have no venue to post your review.
Rules
- The challenge runs from March 1, 2012 – December 31, 2012. Only books read during this period will count.
- Fiction and nonfiction can be read.
- Your book choices can have anything in them, but them must absolutely at the core be dealing with demons, devils, and/or fallen angels (and no cutesy fallen angels either – which will probably leave most of YA out unfortunately). We are looking for villains, baddies, warriors, and anti-heroes; not the lovey-dove, cheesy Touched by an Angel variety.
- A separate link-up post will be created on for reviews (these will count as entries to the grand prize). Link any reviews there – not on this post. This is for sign-ups only. The link-up post will go up a week after the challenge has officially begun.
Grand Prize
A winner will be chosen at random from the link-up post (this will be a separate post – do not link reviews below please) once the Challenge is over and receive a Hellish mystery book!
