Feel free to leave a comment on the Head quarters site (see picture on sidebar--click on it to reach that page) any time you've finished a book (or periodically with a list of books finished). When I post the wrap-up at the end of the year, you can leave a comment telling me how many bingos you completed and what books you used for them--detailed instructions will be posted.Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-83250559386749593512015-01-05T10:00:08.081-05:002015-01-05T10:00:08.081-05:00Hi, I really want to sign up for the challenge, do...Hi, I really want to sign up for the challenge, do I need to have my own blog to do so or can I sign up without knowing all the tec stuff!<br />Thanks,<br />ElenaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17375499224875879761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-27178353151351122212014-12-27T20:00:44.665-05:002014-12-27T20:00:44.665-05:00Donna: No, I'm afraid I haven't put this o...Donna: No, I'm afraid I haven't put this one out on Goodreads. This one was the first challenge I hosted on the blog and is nearest and dearest to my heart. I kind of want to keep it here only. Maintaining both versions of the Mount TBR Challenge is fairly time-consuming--I'd be visiting Vintage Reviews even less than I'm able to do now.

Read only the first sentence of each one and choose which book to read for this square based on that sentence."<br /><br />That's it. Whether you choose your book because the first line is intriguing or funny or beautifully written doesn't matter. But pick the book with the first line that interests you most in some way.Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-7638357256964231682014-12-04T15:45:50.779-05:002014-12-04T15:45:50.779-05:00I am still trying to finish this years golden bing... <br />I am still trying to finish this years golden bingo challenge and am looking forward to doing next years.<br /><br />Am puzzled as to what TBR First Lines actually means though- can you elaborate?<br /><br />(am also pleased 'size' is gone- took me ages to find one to fit (no pun etc) and when i did, was the worst one i'd read all year!)grimwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06150168436753680867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-43810209648430938932014-11-12T09:20:34.357-05:002014-11-12T09:20:34.357-05:00I'd like to join again this year.
