Aleksandra's Corner: June 2015

I've seen the COYER challenge around, but I've never joined it before, so it's the first time I'm participating. And the challenge just started, so I'm almost on time. ;) To say that I've neglected my blog & reviewing would be an understatement, so I think COYER is just the thing that will get me back into the bookish bloggish mood. And it's definitely time to get back to reading, blogging & the bookish blogosphere overall. Also, I finally bought my Kindle reader a couple of months ago, so I don't have to use Kindle for PC anymore to read my ebooks, and also, we can read physical books, too, and plenty of those on my shelves, too, and I love reading challenges, and read-a-thons, and scavenger hunts, and Twitter parties, so yes, I can't wait to start :) I probably won't be on Facebook & Instagram, but I'll do the rest (hopefully). But, enough about me, now about the challenge...

The COYER Scavenger Hunt will run Saturday, June 20th – Friday, September 4th. Sign-ups will be open until Saturday August 8th.

The most important rule I think is to Read Books! It can be an ebook, physical book, audiobook, book that cost $200 – you can read any book you legally own! And to review them of course ;)

There are 3 parts you can participate in & 3 giveaways for them: Reviews, The Scavenger Hunt & Super Supportive Participant. I'm hoping to participate in all of them, and not for the giveaways, but because they sound like so much fun :) Also, there will be Read-a-thons a.k.a. the Bonus Rounds, to which I'm really looking forward to & the Twitter Parties.

I won't post any goals, but those are the events I'm planning to participate in. And I'll just update this post with my progress below.

The official Scavenger Hunt list can be found HERE.

And as I already said, the complete list of rules & schedules can be found HERE & HERE!

So, that's it! I can't wait to begin, so good luck to everyone & have fun!!!
