Weekend Update: 2012 Theme Park in Review & Giveaway!

Last year, I waited to do the Book Club in Review post until APRIL, of all times! Craziness! This year, I'm little more on the ball, but then again, I wasn't tallying points up last year, so that really helps. :) But as with every year, I like reflecting back on the book club from the previous year to see just how successful it was. I do this by

Aw yay, I'm happy to see Eon got a good amount of readers. :D

I'm slightly bummed out because I didn't get around to reading every single title this year (as opposed to last year where I read all the book club picks AND the Calico Dares) but I did only miss December, which is a busy month anyway.

It kind of sucks that there were less people participating overall, but like you said, it may have something to do with the lack of point tracking. Too bad though, because the titles for 2012 were really good and I loved the diversity that the themes brought.

I've loved participating in your book clubs (well, all two that I have) and I'm glad I got to before the bookclubs wind down here. :) I've found so many amazing titles and authors because of them.

edited to add: And thank you for the sponsor reward. :D I've already shot you an e-mail. Wasn't expecting that at all, so thank you! It was fun coming up with the theme and finding titles for it. :)

Well, the good thing about these review posts is it reminds people what books we read and what books they missed out on. Puts those titles back in front of them, you know?

And you're very welcome! It's just a little thank you, because I really appreciated the help. :)

I am having a terribly lazy year for reading so far, keep picking up difficult books that are hard work and I'm not motivated to read, I look forward to seeing what you read, I often seem to enjoy the same books as you.

I've entered the thing, but I'm not sure if I did it right, it's really kind of you to do it.

I see that you wrote if you win, you'd like any of them. So I get to pick my favorite out of the batch, eh? Just think about it between now and then, maybe visit the reviews, so you know which you'd like to read the most if you do win!

I feel your pain about not being motivated. It always happens to me this time of year.

I read all the books, or in the case of two of them, tried to. Could you check to be sure my entry is there? Lenora in Minnesota?

I got yours, but you asked for a book that's not eligible. If you win, I have other options available, but we'll talk about them then. :)
