And the Winners of the 2013 Mad Reviewer Challenge Are…

First off, congratulations to everyone who completed the 2013 Mad Reviewer Reading & Reviewing Challenge.  Not all of you completed the levels you set out to but some of you doubled your goal.  Still, everyone is a winner here because they posted more reviews and helped authors in the process.

I won’t keep you in suspense.  Everyone who completed the challenge had their names written on scraps of paper according to what level they completed.  I just drew the names out of my cookie tin and here are the winners:

Grand prize winner:  Diantha Jones

1st runner up: Shirley Ford

2nd runner up: James Kennedy

3rd runner up: Scatty

Congratulations to all of the winners!  Both Diantha Jones and Scatty completed the Crazy Reviewer levels, James Kennedy went all out and completed the Mad Reviewer level and Shirley Ford finished her goal of Slightly Sane Reviewer.

If you’re a winner we’ll be in touch today.  If you don’t hear from me, please drop me a line either through my contact page, email or Twitter.

The Mad Reviewer Reading and Reviewing Challenge 2014 Sign Up

The Mad Reviewer Reading Challenge ButtonThe 2013 Mad Reviewing Reading & Reviewing Challenge is still in progress of course but I’m liking it so much that I figured I may as well start people on the sign up sheet.  The challenge is the same as last year:

The Mad Reviewer Reading Challenge is to read and review (either on Goodreads, Amazon or your own blog) 104 books in one year starting January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2014.

I’m fully aware that not everyone has time to read 104 books which is why I’ve created different levels of the challenge that you can aspire to:

1.  Mad Reviewer: 104 books in one year. (2 books a week all year.)

2.  Crazy Reviewer: 52 books in one year. (1 book a week all year.)

3.  Slightly Sane Reviewer: 26 books in one year. (1 book every fortnight all year.)

4.  Sane Reviewer: 12 books in one year.  (1 book every month all year.) Continue reading

You Are Mine by Janeal FalorToday I’m happy to announce that my latest giveaway is in conjunction with the lovely Janeal Falor, whose debut novel You Are Mine is an awesome mixture of romance and speculative fiction.  Even if you’re not heavy into romance I would highly recommend it because the romance isn’t the main focus.  So if you love dystopias, well fleshed out characters and fantastic world-building, the best thing you can do is enter this giveaway.  Go ahead!  You know you want to.
