Hosting ebook challenge


eBooks
Reading Challenge
2017 

Hosted here at Book Dragon's Lair!

I'm a HUGE fan of ebooks and as Annette wasn't able to do the challenge this year, she let me have it! Thanks Annette, for letting me take over.

There are a couple of hard rules, one just for general courtesy, several guidelines and six levels.




Hard Rules
  • All books counted must be electronic - I don't care if they're kindle, pdf, nook, etc.
  • The ebook in question must have an ISBN or equivalent. If you can buy it or borrow it, it counts - which just means that all those on-line serials I read don't count ;-)

General Courtesy
  • When you sign up in the linky, put the direct link to your post. That way we can find it.

Guidelines
  • You can list your books in advance or as you read them. You can also change your list.
  • Any genre or length of book counts.
  • Anyone can join, you don’t need to be a blogger, just let me know in the comments.
  • Reviews are good but not necessary. Once again, you don't need to be a blogger, there are lots of places to post reviews. Hopefully, they'll link up so we can read them.
  • You may move up a level but not down.
  • Crossovers for other challenges count 
  • Books started before January 1st, 2017 don’t count - unless you start over ;-) 

Levels
bit – 1 book
Byte – 10 books
Megabyte – 25 books
Gigabyte – 50 books
Terabyte – 75 books
Petabyte – 100 books
Empty the Cloud - 101+ books
. . . yeah, this look good.

Want to join us?

    Thanks for hosting, Gina! I never read e-books, so my goal will be just one!

    I'm joining the challenge and starting with the Gigabyte level. I may move up to Terabyte, but Gigabyte's a good place to start! Thanks for hosting!

    Thanks for the reading challenge! I am going to try for the terabyte level. I don't have a blog but I keep most of my book records on Goodreads. Thanks for hosting!

    Quick question: does this mean all the books I read this year have to be e-books? Or are we just counting e-books?

    @TEri I think and hope it means we count only ebooks, but can read others outside the challenge.

    I'm shooting for 50. I utilize my local library's digital copies and am hoping to read more this year from that format. Thank you for hosting.

    I go nowhere without my Kindle. I am going to start shooting for 25 books. I have read 3 since January. All three are by Angela Pepper.
    1. Death of a Dapper Snowman
    2. Death of a Crafty Knitter
    3. Death of a Batty Genius
    Stormy Day is the main character of the series.
    I am also going to read books on my TBR list. This is my chance to jump in and conquer my procrastination.

    I jumped up to Petabyte level from Gigabyte since I read 50 ebooks before June was finished. I just finished the challenge this month and am now at 104. Unfortunately, it didn't empty so much since I kept getting new things to read for review! But it's been fun. :) Thanks for hosting! My post with my list is here: https://valeriesmusings.com/reading-challenges/e-book-challenge-2017/?frame-nonce=d8af11073a

Thank you!

I have no idea why the captcha thing is showing up. I've got the setting marked "no" that I don't want it. Grrrrrr! But, I believe that if you skip entering anything it will post.
