Month-Long Weirdathon: Sign-Up



March is my three year blogiversary and so far I have never done anything for it. But THAT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE. At the end of last year, I struggled through a lot of stale books. It's easy to get into a reading rut. The solution? Get weird. Join me in this month-long reading challenge to expand your reading horizons and find the strangest books you can, with MULTIPLE ways to win book money!!

UPDATE: Sign ups have been reopened until March 15

THE WEIRD READING CHALLENGE

Read as many weird books as you can during march! You can set your goal low or high, it's completely self-directed. To help you along, there will be achievements to give you more giveaway entries. Every week there will be an optional link-up for your progress.

What counts as weird? Anything that's weird to you. Maybe that's aliens. But for others maybe it's bizarro fiction written in a created dialect starring a talking fruit. Click here to see my lists of weird books for inspiration and TBR padding!


THE BOOKSTAGRAM CHALLENGE

Love Instagram as much as I do? Search your shelves or bookstores for the weirdest book covers you can find. Tag them with #weirdathon and they'll be entered for judging (by me). Weirdest cover gets a prize!


HUNT FOR THE WEIRDEST BOOK

As you're working on your reading challenge, pitch the weirdest books you read in a single tweet with the hashtag #weirdathon. At the end of the month, there will be a vote for the most compelling pitch and the winner gets a prize. Keep searching for the strangest books you can find, so you can win!
