chick lit challenge 2012

This year as part of my adventure to become a better writer, I also want to be a better reader. I have always read a lot, but I did not often look to discover new authors and titles.

Thanks to Samantha over at Chick Lit Plus, I will do a lot more of that this year. Samantha is sponsoring her second annual contest: Chick Lit Reading Challenge 2012.

The basics on the contest from CLP: Challengers will read 12 chick lit books throughout 2012. You can (obviously) read more books of other genres, but you need at least 12 chick lit to count for this challenge. Two of the twelve books need to be from debut authors. The debuts should be released in 2012. I have a feature on my blog that will highlight new releases and debuts, so you can find suggestions there.

Not only will this make me a better writer (writers have to read — especially the latest in their genre), but it will benefit the blog, because I will have more books to review right here.

With that, who wants to join me in this challenge? Read more about the contest or sign-up for yourself here.
