TBR Triple Dog Dare



https://jamesreadsbooks.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/tbr-final-dare.jpg


January 1 - April 1, 2016
James has been sponsoring this one for quite some time, but I've never jumped on board. This is his last year to sponsor and he's asking bloggers...



Are you brave enough for one final round?

I’m bringing back The TBR Dare one last time.

It works like this….

For the first three months of 2016 read only the books that were already in your TBR stack as of midnight December 31, 2015.

There are few more details; check the link above for the full scoop. And join us--we triple dog dare you.
