  1. That's great, thanks! It's so cool seeing my button on your blog. I'm already following your blog. :)

    I actually goofed and put the wrong url for my button, so the one you have on your site is my old button. It's fixed now if you want to re-grab it. I wouldn't have even noticed if it weren't for you, so double thanks!

  4. Thinking about doing this challenge as well... but I'm nervous as I am with all challenges, what if I never complete it? I just don't want to fail, lol.

  6. Aylee: I know what you mean. I'm a list person, though. If I have a list, then I have the urge to cross stuff off my list, and then I'm actually more likely to get something done. 12 is only one book a month, and I think you can start at any point in the year. That way you can hold off joining see in maybe June how likely you are to be able to finish and then join then if things look good.

    The Story Siren: Thanks for hosting the challenge! 2010's challenge looks like it's been a lot of fun. Hopefully I'll be able to make a dent in that list. :P

  7. This challenge sounds really fun. I enjoy new author's and LOVE young adult. You may have convinced me to join, I'm just afraid of getting in over my head, though.

  8. Haha, well, I'm totally not the person to provide a bit of reasonable advice to you when it comes to getting in over you head with books. I think my motto should be "Bite off more than you can chew!" as my 2011 list probably shows. :p

    Give me half a chance and I'll lead you down a dark path of more books than you can handle, but I promise it'll be a lot of fun!

It's all about friendly conversation here at Small Review :) I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Be sure to check back again because I do make every effort to reply to your comments here.

Because I am absolutely terrible about following through with blog awards, I can't in good conscience accept any more. Thank you very much for thinking of me though!

Spam WILL be deleted. Attacks on myself or other comments WILL be deleted.
