Do I need this one? Oh boy, yes. Will it make me cry? Most likely. Why? Because I have to limit my reading to books published before March 1st which means no brand spanking new releases unless they’re ARCs or something I have to do for tours or something. *sniffle* For anyone who hasn’t joined in on the fun yet – and you know you do because you have a giant TBR pile, there’s a nice prize at the end and it’s just fun to see how many reviews you can push out when you have a motivator – here are the deets:
Rules
- Link-up! This is open to everyone. If you do not have a blog then link your Facebook or Goodreads account.
- Beginning March 1st, 2013 and ending March 31, 2013 at midnight read books from your TBR pile ALL books must have been published before March 2013.
- Post a review to Goodreads, your blog or Facebook then link it to the Rafflecopter for an entry. (for those of you who post a month or more out on your blog like me, just link up your Goodreads rating and quick review.)
- Rafflecopter will close on April 2, 2013 at midnight and a winner will be chosen. Open internationally as long as Book Depository or Barnes and Noble ship to you. Prize: New 2013 release. I will do pre-orders as well.

I have 17 days of reviews spoken for and a couple of days for other things, leaving 14 days free to attack my TBR pile. I have a couple of challenges I’m falling behind on that I know I can hit and a few unusual books I’ve purchased recently that I’d love to review. So hopefully, I’ll be able to stay on track and have a good month!
I had planned on making a post for this and everything but my week went to crap. Maybe I’ll post one Monday with some of the books I HOPE to read.
You’ll be ahead of me! I can’t post what I hope to read because I have no clue. lol
You can do this cupcake , and if you read a book and cannot post it to your blog due to a full schedule, just link a mini review from goodreads to the rafflecopter..My month for March is booked and done except for one day a week, so most of my reads/reviews will appear in April and May..LOL
I’m one of those people who has to write the full review the same day I read the book, so I can leave a “placer” comment at GR and link to it. The good news will be that I’ll have things scheduled for April!
I am so excited. It’s my first TRB-pile-read-a-thon and I think it’s going to be fun to read some of my own books
Good luck!
Yay Mel! Good luck to you too.
I do a lot of these because I need these little spurts of motivation and it feels nice to see what I’ve read at the end.
Good luck hon! I have a mountain of books rather than a pile so I’m hoping to get through a few too!
Ha, do I understand! I’m scared to look too far into the “archive” that I have here, but making a dent will feel good, right? Good luck, chick!!
I have a mountain of TBR books and I’ve already picked out which ones I’m aiming to read this month. Sadly, it will barely make a dent in my pile.
Good luck!
Ugh, I know what you mean, Bea. You’re amazing though, that you’ve picked out what you’re going to read! Hey, any dent is a good dent, right? Now the secret is not to buy any more…Hahahahahaha! That’ll last us a week, right?
Good luck to you too!
Just got all signed up! There are a few new releases that won’t count towards this, but I’ve been dying to read them. But other than that most everything is tbr!
Oh crap, I need this challenge. Maybe I’ll sit down today and get some sort of list put together. I’ve been reading buying and reading WAY too many new books lately. Hubs is about to burn my Kindle if I don’t get it under control. O_o
Public library, here I come!
