Well our first month in has been a grand success! Out of our 42 participants 14 have started the challenge posting 54 reviews between them and 2 have even finished the official number of 12 books. Plus we have participants reading books in the original Japanese and French! At this point we don't have a popular book yet. Everybody is pretty much making individual choices, there are only a couple of books that more than one person has read, but no more that two people. Someone has gone full steam ahead on the Tin Tin series and has published in depth reviews. We've got a mix of fiction, non-fiction, superheroes, kiddie comics, graphics and manga. Good showing for the first month! Don't forget to visit each other's reviews and drop a brief comment.
For those who have finished please continue to add your books each month as it will help others find great new titles to read, send more traffic your way and enter you for any contest(s) I manage to get together.
At the end of the stats is a list of all the books and links to reviews so far.
Here's who has started the challenge and how far along they are but first the speedy readers who have read all 12. Maybe we should make those overachievers read 12 *every* month {just kidding}!
