Bloggiesta Mini-Challenge: EVENTS
Hello Everyone!! I'm so excited for my second BLOGGIESTA! When I first started blogging my goals were to meet fellow readers. In those early days I hadn't yet found the courage to request Arc's or even thought about blog followers, I wanted the company of fellow book lovers :) Joining a Blogging event is a great way to meet some virtual friends and attract attention to your site. So your challenge is to sign up for a blog event. I have some suggestions below, or feel free to share with me in the comments any other event you have registered for. I will be checking that the winner of this challenge has in fact signed up for the event they committed too.
No Blog Required Events:
GOODREADS Reading Challenge If you look to the right of this post you will see my Goodreads icon with my challenge goal. A goodreads account is free, its a great way to keep track of what you read and connect with fellow book lovers
THESE CHALLENGES REQUIRE A BLOG:
This is a great challenge to tackle all the wonderful books NETGALLEY offers. Visit RED HOUSE BOOKS
Book Chick City is one of my favorite bloggers, She has great yearly challenges, here are a few you can sign up for and she usually has great prizes :) More info HERE
READ-A-LONGS
Like the title implies Read-a-longs are a group activity where every one reads at the same pace and shares their thoughts about the book along the way. Most Read-a-long hosts don't require you to have a blog but would like you to share your thoughts by posting a comment on their update posts.
TRUE BOOK ADDICT is hosting a read-a-long for Forever Amber. This is a book I wasn't familiar with before signing up and I'm really enjoying the book. Please note : The event started March 18th but there is a catch up week so it's not to late to join in
MOSTLY REVIEWS Is hosting a read-a-long of Masquerade, a YA read. This book looked interesting so I'm joining in ( phew! quite the busy April!) This book is currently 2.99 on the nook!
READATHON
CASTLE MACABRE is hosting a great Readathon! Though themed around Horror you don't have to only read horror doing the event.
Great Events, yes? Now what do you get besides fun interaction with fellow bloggers? How about a book of choice up to $10.00 from :
Please Note this contest is for BLOGGIESTA PARTICIPANTS ONLY. To The Rafflecopter:

I love the book depository btw. Spread the love!
I'm doing the Goodreads 2012 challenge, plus the Debut Author Challenge, the Sophomore Reading Challenge, the YA Standalone Challenge and the YA Contemporary Challenge.
I have a page on my blog dedicated to all of them!
I'm also debating participating in the Netgalley challenge, but I haven't decided if I want to or not.
