April Review copy clean up - This is your chance to get down your review copies!

This is a reading challenge that will run from April 1st to April 30th 2015. Results will be announced on May 1st 2015.

This challenge is simple, and has one aim - get those review copies read! This obviously means that you will have to have review copies to take part in this challenge - either from Netgalley, Edelweiss, Publishers, Authors, ARR programme, etc.

Normal challenge guidlines and rules apply.

Points:
1 point for each book read and reviewed
1 point for a buddy read (feel free to use our Wanted: Buddy Reads ARC thread if you need to - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... )
Equaliser points (applied at the end) - 5 additional points for every 1000 pages read.

Note:
*Books need to either be review copies, or we will also allow books which are first/second in a series before a review copy that you need to read, so for example - Shadow Study (Soulfinders, #1) by Maria V. Snyder , you might also need to read Poison Study (Study, #1) by Maria V. Snyder Magic Study (Study, #2) by Maria V. Snyder Fire Study (Study, #3) by Maria V. Snyder Storm Glass (Glass, #1) by Maria V. Snyder Sea Glass (Glass, #2) by Maria V. Snyder & Spy Glass (Glass, #3) by Maria V. Snyder first, so those would also count.
* Books must be at least 100 pages in length
* Books must be read between April 1st and April 30th 2015 (inclusively)
*You can find our regular challenge rules here:

Good luck Everybody! Let's get those review piles beaten into submission ☺

They have to be review copies, as the point of the challenge is to help people get them down. So books you got from Netgalley, Edelweiss, blog tours, the author, ect. :)


message 35: by Ashley W (new)

Ashley W (starfallreads1) | 6011 comments Just to be clear, they have to be review copies, but not advance copies right? Because I have several from blog contests, etc

That's right. They could have been published a year ago, and they'd still count as you got them for the purpose of reviewing them.

Irena BookDustMagic | 1344 comments I have a question: if my friend borrows me her kindle with an arc of Sarah Dessen's Saint Anything on it and I read it this month would it count for this challenge?


message 43: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 3665 comments I started Solace last month, but didn't get very far. I restarted it on the first so if I change the dates read can I count that?

Sorry, as you weren't given it, it won't count. :( If you read it with someone who has been given an RC of it though, it will, as you're helping someone clean their RC shelf. :)
