I'm still reading in 2012 but stopped posting after the 52 - got busy with other things here. Really fun! Looking forward to the "Dusty Books" challenge for 2013 - have plenty of those and I need to clear out my bookshelves! Thanks for hosting this - so happy I found you! Jane (Aralia Jane)
so excited to be taking this challenge again this year. This will be my third year with you and loving it. Finishing up my 2012 books and look forward to starting again in 2013.. I may participate in the Dusty Book challenge as well as the Faith Challenge. Sounds fun!
I am going to do it in the coming year!!! I am currently 16 books behind for 2012... one a day to make the goal this time around seems too much, especially with Christmas coming up. Good luck to everyone who is participating!
I'm back for another round! I've actually read more than 52 books in 2012--but I have been sticking strictly to the reporting one book for each week schedule....so I've got to get a few more books read before I'll declare myself done.
This is my first attempt that the challenge after watching it for two years. I'l also rebooting my blog along with it, after a first failed attempt. Here's to being more productive in 2013! I think the Classics will be my mini challenge for the year.
I am going to give it a shot - I think I linked to one of the mini challenge posts though and not the main one on my page - it should have linked to here - http://booksandneedlepoint.blogspot.com/2012/12/miscellaneous-reading-challenges-2013.html
I want very much to participate! I don't have a blog (or time to blog), but I have a twitter. Should I link it, and is there a preferred hashtag I should use?
Welcome to the challenge. The hashtag for twitter is #52booksin52weeks. You can link to your tweets if you choose or just leave a comment telling about your reads.
Hi guys, Every Monday starting tomorrow I'll link my favorite book review of the week in my blog. I don't know if anyone has done it before or is doing it but I'm hoping to encourage meaningful discussions. You never know, the review might persuade you to pick up the book even if it's outside your normal genre.
Thanks for hosting Robin! Although I officially joined for the second year I just got around to writing my official 2013 Challenges List post so I linked that up. I am going to try to participate in the Dusty Mini Challenge and the Inspiration Mini Challenge as well this year!
I did not have a chance to write a wrap-up but I love the questions you did and hope to do better at that type of thing this year!
I didn't make one up with html. Just copy and paste the picture widget to your computer. Add a image gadget and use the www.read52booksin52weeks.com for the link.
This is my first book reading challenge. I know I am a bit late but I would like to start right off. I am currently reading Paulo Coelho's Alepha which I plan to finish by the weekend. I can make up for these last 3 weeks by doing a double in forthcoming weeks. I am excited to be here.
I am just starting. I will try to "catch up" throughout the year for the first 5 weeks. i'm sure there is a vacation or two sometime where I can cram in extra reading :)
I took the challenge and only read 27 books last year. Life gets in the way! I am going to try again though this year! I actually just finished blogging about the last 4 books I read last year... Oh well!
It looks like I made it to Mr Linky first. I'm not anxious or anything. Really. *wink* Thanks, Robin!

DeleteI signed up and then decided I want to use Blogger instead of Wordpress. How can I change my linky?
