or to Sign Up!
Honestly, we don’t want to have a lot of rules either. We want it to be as easy as possible for anyone to participate, including ourselves. All you have to do is write an intro post stating WHY you want to join and WHAT books you’re hoping to re-read. Then, add it to the sign up linky. After that, just write a post each month recapping what you re-read that month and add it to the linky we’ll post on our blogs each month. That’s it! You’ve earned re-read bragging rights for the month. We’ll explain it all below, but trust us… it’s not difficult.
Don’t want to take time away from review books and get behind on posts for your blog? We don’t either! If you feel like re-reading will set you back, you could write a re-read review. This portion is optional, of course, and not required to participate in the challenge or qualify for the giveaways. But if you’re interested, highlight your re-reads with a re-read review. For example, we’ll be answering these questions:
WHEN I First ReadWHAT I RememberWHY I Wanted to Re-ReadHOW I Felt After Re-Reading
WOULD I Re-Read Again
BOOM. You’re done! Post it. Add it to the monthly re-read recap post. Tweet with the hashtag #ReRead2015. You’ve got a post for your blog AND the challenge. Each post you link counts as an entry to our giveaways.
- This challenge will run from January 1, 2015 – December 31, 2015. The sign-up linky will remain open until the end of January, but join at any time by adding your intro post to any monthly re-read recap linky.
- Any genre, length or format of book counts, as long as it’s a re-read.
- We will have two giveaways – one at the six-month point and one at the end of the year. Giveaway details posted closer to the halfway point!
- You don’t have to follow our blogs to participate or be entered in the giveaways.
How You Sign Up
- Write a post about joining The 2015 Re-Read Challenge on your blog. In the post, include the banner, a link back to our sign-up page, the number of books you’d like to re-read and list some books you’re hoping to re-read for the challenge.

- In the first week of each month, we will post a re-read recap on Belle of the Literati and So Obsessed With that includes a linky that will be open all month. Write a post detailing what you re-read the last month, and add the direct link to our linky to be entered in our giveaways.
- If you write any re-read reviews (it’s totally optional!), add those to the monthly linky for additional entries (one per post) in our giveways.

I'm participating in the Re-Reads Challenge too! I've got a whole list of books I want to reread but never got around to because of all the new books I had to read! LOL! Your list looks great! I've been wanting to read Landline and Railsea, and I just got Rootless from the library! I'm on the waitlist for some of Jojo Moyes books, but the library doesn't have One Plus One. The waitlists are really long! But I'm excited to read her books because so many people have said so many great things about them. Hope you have fun rereading your books! =)
