What is New Release Reading Challenge?
The New Release Reading Challenge was developed and run by (un)Conventional Bookworms, a book blog run by the talented and beautiful Bookworm Brandee and Linda Tiliagren. They’ve been hosting this year-long reading challenge for several years, but life has gotten in the way of their continuing. After consulting with them, I have decided to take over running this for them (but they’re welcome to take it back at any time)!
I really enjoyed participating, and I hope others will come over to the Dark Chocolate Side and join in as they did in previous years.
The 2024 New Release Challenge is a year-long challenge in which we aim to read and review books released in 2024.
I will now be the sole host of this reading challenge, and I hope many of you will participate! There is a page at the top of my homepage that includes all review links for the year, where the link is open for books you read and review each quarter.
Instructions for the Challenge:
- Books included in the link party have to be only those released in 2024, and reviewed before the end of the year.
- Books can count towards more than one challenge, meme, book-tag, or book-list, as long as the ones you use for the 2024 New Release Reading Challenge qualify to the other rules.
- The minimum length for a book to qualify is 100 pages, it can be in any format though, physical, e-book, ARC or audiobook.
- You don’t have to be a book blogger to participate, you can link to your review on Goodreads or Booklikes or anywhere that you post a review of a newly released book – so don’t be shy!
- If you want to spread the love, please use #2024NewReleaseChallenge on any and all social media sites where you promote your reviews.
There is a Facebook Group for the New Release Challenge, to have a place where we can keep up with each other, cheer each other on, and get to know each other better. It is also a place where we can help each other find even more new releases. For those of you who have already participated, it’s the same group as before.
There are five levels in the 2024 New Release Challenge:
- 1-30 books per year – New Release Newbie
- 31-60 books per year – New Release Pro
- 61-100 books per year – New Release Veteran
- 101-200 books per year – New Release Enthusiast
- 200+ books per year – New Release Obsessed
Since I didn’t make a sign-up linkup post, if you decide to participate at any level, just put it in a comment on this post.
So… with no further ado, I give you the link party for the fourth and last quarter of 2024…
