There is romance, and it plays a large part, but there are many other things going on that have nothing to do with the romance aspect.

Sorry, I just saw this! If you want to participate in the giveaways just click on the links for Bookish Things or In Wonderland, and you can add the shelf for your challenge on the linky.

Or you can just add your updates here, and join in the fun. :D

I'm not that firm with social media, appart from the occasional Facebook post. How exactly is this meant? Should updates on reading status or review start with this hashtag?

An how does that wrap up linky work? What should be linked there?

Sorry if these questinos sound dumb to you but I've never done something like this challenge before.

The hashtag you can use on Twitter and Instagram if you wanted to. It's not necessary.

When we post up the linky on our blogs, you'll be required to link up your review/book talk post (only have to do that, if you want to be entered in the giveaways) You can link up as many as you'd like, they just have to be separate links for the different books.

Hope that helps! :)
