August Challenge: My Life as a White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland
And now, the results of July's poll, Kick-Assitude!
The results for August were not a big surprise. It didn't take long for the winner to take the lead, but really, with a title like that? It's no surprise. After 27 votes, the winner is...
My Life as a White Trash Zombie (2011)
Written by: Diana Rowland
Theme: Kick-Assitude
ISBN: 9780756406752
I didn't pay too close attention to this book when it came out, not at first. But then the positive reviews started rolling in, and the Kindle Sample I read was immediately entertaining. So I'm glad this one won the "Kick-Assitude" challenge, and I hope it lives up to the theme's name! Here's to having some fun in August!
Who can participate?
Anyone who's interested in the book. You don't have to have an LJ to participate in the challenge. Just read the book sometime between NOW and the month of AUGUST and then feel free to engage in discussion at the end of the month. Or, if you have a book blog of your own, post your review there and provide me with a link in mine. :) For your sake, I'll hold off posting my review until the end of AUGUST so no one feels rushed to finish the book. I want people to read at their own speed and to enjoy themselves.
As always, feel free to talk about the book challenge and encourage others to read what you are. After all, the more the merrier!
When do I participate?
Any time between NOW and August 31st. As long as you read the selection within this particular time frame, you've participated. This way, if you're a slower reader, you've got much more time. :) And if you're a fast reader, and want to participate in the discussion with the book fresh on your mind, then go ahead and wait until August!
How do I participate?
Get your hands on the book. You can buy, borrow, or swap, but please try and get your hands on the book. If you're having trouble finding this book, let me know and I'll try and point you in the right direction. Both physical and electronic copies of this book are available. But seriously, if you DO have trouble finding the book, let me know! But don't delay! Get your copy now!
But what if I've already read this book? How do I participate then?
Same as you normally would, but without reading. Comment to the review and discussion when it's posted, and if there's a poll, answer the questions. If you have a review, make sure you shoot me the link. You can choose to re-read the book for the challenge if you WANT, but I won't think any less of you if you decide not to.
Okay, okay, okay! But what about NEXT'S month's challenge? Taking suggestions for that?
September is a sponsored month, and an interesting theme at that, but for October, I'd like to do "Haunted Houses" and if not that, then "Oh, the Horror!" Come on, you KNOW we have to do something scary for October! Please hit me with all your haunted house novels and/or horror suggestions. I'll need plenty of time to wade through them!
December will be the final sponsored theme, so if you want to "apply" to sponsor a theme, then click here. You can also comment at the same link if you have theme ideas but don't want to sponsor anything. Thanks for your help!
