SIGN UP-- Blog Ahead October Challenge 2019

It's TIME!!!!!! Yes, it's nearly October and that means it's time to sign up for our annual Blog Ahead Challenge! I love this challenge! It's a fantastic way to get a little support from other bloggers and get yourself ready for the end of year school madness, for the holidays, get prepared in case there's an emergency or just put last minute blogging behind you!

This was a game changer for my personal blog. I love not having to worry at 1150pm that my post for the next day isn't finished.

Blog All About It turned out to be one of my favorite challenges of 2018. It was a nice way to stretch my blogger wings and get some fun posts up so I decided to do it again!

Basically there's a word each month and any time during the month you can blog about that word. In any way you want. Review, recipe, photos, stories, etc

SIGN UP-- 2019 Blogger Shame Challenge

Note: I accidentally deleted 6 months of the blog so this is a repost. All comments on the original posts were unfortunately lost. Sorry! 

Blogger Shame Challenge. Yes! This one has been such a good challenge for me over the last couple years. It's helped me tame my review pile and lighten the stress of all those review books that were so far past their review date.

Basically, this is a way to cheekily catch up on review request copies that have been languishing on your review pile for at least 6 months and are way past due to the author or publisher.

They can be print, audio or ebooks.

Note: I accidentally deleted 6 months of the blog so this is a repost. All comments on the original posts were unfortunately lost. Sorry! 

All About the Trope! I enjoyed this challenge as well. It's a little different in that you're tracking a trope instead of a genre. 

Pick your trope then read...as many as you want. 

Examples of tropes:

--Enemies to lovers

--Best Friend's sibling

--Beauty & the beast (or other fairytales)

--Second Chance romance

--Best Friends to lovers

--Fake relationships

--Boss/Employee
