HAPPY February, you Fabulous Readers!
I can’t believe we made it through one month of 2019 already! Time truly does fly. I just got back from ALA in Seattle (post coming soon) and let me tell you there are some good contemporaneity books coming in 2019! If you haven’t officially signed up for the challenge, you can do so HERE. If you don’t sign-up, your entries will not count toward the giveaway and I have to disqualify you. Basically…SIGN-UP!
Monthly Link-Up and Giveaway Details:
- Your thoughts on each book you read must be posted somewhere, like your blog, Goodreads, Amazon, YouTube, Tumblr, etc., in order for it to count towards this challenge. Ratings on Goodreads, LibraryThing, BookLikes, etc. will also work.
- Monthly link-up posts will go live the around the first day of each month so you can add your links throughout the month as your posts go up. Each linky will remain open five days into each new month to allow you some time to get all your posts linked up!
- In order for us to tell what you’re linking to on the monthly linky, the format for the links you enter need to be as follows:
- UPDATE POST @ your name/blog name.
- REVIEW: [BOOK TITLE] @ your name/blog name.
- MONTHLY RECOMMENDATION@ your name/blog name.
- Each month we’ll choose a lucky winner from that month’s linky to win a Contemporary Romance novel of their choice (up to US$10).
- Each link you enter in that month’s linky will count as one entry into the giveaway.
- Challenge and Giveaways are open internationally. (As long as The Book Depository ships to your country, you are eligible for a prize.)
Monthly Recommendations: (I’m switching it up this year)
- Each monthly link-up post will include a Contemporary Romance book I will recommend/suggest. If you read that book and review it or do some kind of creative post about it that month it will count as an entry.
- Monthly Recommendation posts can go up anytime in the specified month. Link them up as follows: MONTHLY TOPIC @ your name/blog name.
- These posts will also earn you an entry in the monthly giveaway as long as you link back to them.

This Month’s Book Recommendation:
I’m heading to ApollyCon in March and these three books are the books I’m planning to get signed (I already have preordered The Score and Brooklynaire from Ell and Sarina). They are probably my three favorites from these two authors. If you haven’t read them, I highly recommend you do. But for this month you can do a extra post by either reading one of these exact books, or one of Elle Kennedy or Sarina Bowen’s other contemporary romances. Or a post about the authors in general. Click on the cover to purchase from Amazon.

OMG, I *adored* Him. My BFF read it and basically threw her Kindle at my head when she was done and demanded I read it, and I didn’t put it down until I’d read the entire book. She said Us wasn’t as great, so I didn’t read the sequel.
I’ve got The Deal on my TBR, but should I just skip straight to The Score? 😉
Not, totally read The Deal! I just happen to LOVE The Score the most, but I love The Deal. 🙂
Where and when are you posting the winners each month?
Winners are typically notified over email or Twitter DM. If you have not received a message you did not win. Good luck in February!
It would be cool to see which posting “won” each month too – not that I’m not currently going and obsessively reading all of the posts that are linked up, haha. (SO BAD for my TBR, by the way!!)
