Guidelines:

• Choose a reading level:
  1: Bronze -

• Lists are not required, but you can make one if you want.
  
• If you choose a lower level, you can always change it to a higher level if you like. However, you cannot go from a higher level back down to a lower level.
• Crossovers with other challenges are allowed
• Audio-books and ebooks are allowed as long as they are ARCs.
• Read the books and review them on your blog. If you don't have a blog, you can post your review on sites like Powells, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc.

✸ I'm signing up at the Bronze Level (category B), as I want to try to go back and read a few of the ARCs I have from past years.
