nice challenge Pizza!
Nice idea.
I'll join in.
Also there is an award waiting for you here.
Great challenge! I won't join,though...I am participating in three other challenges and I can't handle the pressure! :)
Thanks for the award and for joining the challenge Caspette.
Missy, I don't mind if you don't participate.
Oh, now it's with Mr. Linky, please make sure i you participate, you fill it out at the top. Also post the picture on the side of your blog so others can join.
Oh this sounds like fun! I'll blog about this later on today and link up then.
Great idea!
I'll participate! I am sure I won't win but it will enable me to focus more on my reading which is good. I'll blog about it after I've done the Blog Carnival.
Mr Linky isn't letting me copy and paste my URL. Here it is: http://j-kaye-book-blog.blogspot.com/2009/07/new-challenge-august-reading-challenge.html
I love the concept behind this challenge & I have a week off from work in August, I'm game!
Awesome Witch Baby! I don't think I will win but I will do my best.
I'm not liable to win but hey, it's something to work towards, right?!
Oh no!
I tried to join but I linked to another post in my blog!
Can you fix it?
I'll join again later today, maybe it'll work by then...
There... I joined under "Ella Press's Reading Challenge".
Hi, Im tryingtomake a book review blog but I need advise for what to do. Please leave a comment or e-mail with your ideas. : )

Awesome!!!
I don't start my next semester until the end of August! I am so game!
Thanks for hosting!
This sounds great fun - I like a bit of competition :) I will post a link on my blog tomorrow, fairly late now in the UK. I just wanted to let you know that I will be signing up!
I will definately blog about this and I have signed up. I look forward to this.

Thanks for your comments guys, Ella Press, I'll fix it up after school.. Cya.
Sounds like fun! I'm in!
This is great motivation! Can't wait!
Good luck to you all!
Why not I'm going to go over to my blog right now and add the post. I found out how many books I read in a year so why not find out how many I read in August. That now makes me wonder if certain months are going to have more books read. I guess it all depends on the size of the books.
Damn Pizza I wish I could join your challenge but I doubt I could keep up...too busy with work lol...so I can't read like 3 books a day like most people hehe ;P Maybe next time love
That's fine Eleni, I never even read one book a day (apart from the holidays). I decided to ask Zakk if he wanted to join because of the fact I felt behind in reviews as I'm not as dedicated to you and Sassy. I do have homework and school so I know I will fall behind posts.
This sounds like a fun challenge
Great challenge! I'm in.
Sassy
:)
Sounds like a fun challenge! I challenge myself to this every month, so now I have even more of a reason to fulfill it. Can't wait to get started.
Jenni @ Falling Off The Shelf
Im in too! I hope to actually read more than 2 books :P
may the best blogger win :)
good luck to everyone!!!!!
quick question : can the books be in a series? do they have to be a certain genre? I have some books in mind, but I'm not sure if they're ok. They will all be in a series.
Thanks for joining! margo: They can be any books you like.
Great challenge! I signed up :0)
This sounds like fun! I don't know how much I'll read towards the end of the month, when school starts.. but I should hopefully knock out some serious books the first half of the month.
I am joining in - but made an error when I used mr Linky - number 24 is the wrong me - number 25 is the right me :)
Sorry forgot to put my brain into gear before I pressed enter!!!!
Great challenge. I actually have switched my blog over to wordpress.com (much more familiar and able to get around in it quickly). I entered under booktumbling with my blogger url but the list of my books will actually be at wordpress. My entry is number 13 "booktumbling". I have entered again with the new and active URL.
Sorry for any confusion!
I'm up to the challenege! I think!
Thank you everyone for joining, I didn't expect it to be this popular but this is cool. I will look at all your blogs later tonight, just got back from school.
I've got lots of review books coming for August, so this is the perfect challenge for me! Thanks! :D
~MizB
I just joined :) sounds like fun!
Nice challenge. I like that I can pick any book, I have so many specific books needed to be read for other challenges that I can use those, just jump them into hyperdrive and see how many I can do.
Barbara, don't count books (well, except for the challenge) count pages read! That's a good indicator of your reading.
Pizza, Just an FYI, I'm having trouble seeing some of your words. Don't know if it is my computer or your blog, just that the contrast isn't great on some parts.
Hey Bookdragon, hmmm... I don't know about the contrast, most people can see it fine, sorry it must be your computer.
Saw your challenge over at J. Kaye's blog and decided to join the fun! Hoping it will motivate me to read faster, as my TBR stack is getting awfully high. *L*
Great idea!
Found you and this challenge thanks to J. Kaye's blog. Looking forward to challenging myself and my reading.
Thanks!
Okay ready to strangle me? Booktumbling's actual url for the challenge is http://booktumbling.wordpress.com/august-reading-challenge/
Yes I am fickle, but this is it - I promise!! Sorry for the confusion.
Ok, I got it up. It's ok booktumbling, cya, i'm off to school!
I just signed up, but posted a link to a summary of new challenges. I will create a post that just has my list of books that I complete for this challenge and come back to post it here for you! Thanks for hosting such a great challenge!! Perfect timing!!
Hi,
I just signed up and posted my link with my August Reading List.
Hi!
I would love to join in on this challenge. I have posted and linked back to you. I found you via J. Kaye's place. Have a great day!

I won't win, but this will get me to push myself. here's the link to my post!

I have another question. What about ebooks, audio and short stories. All my "books" are single titles or the title is for the whole collection.
I figured it was my computer, I haven't check the other one yet.
Ebooks and audio books are fine.
Thank you!
and, yes, the site looks great on the newer computer {blush}
I've read 14 books in August but I'm not sure where I'm supposed to put that.

I was listed as number 8 for signing up. When I clicked on my name it didn't take me to the proper post. I resubmitted and you now how the proper post at I believe #52. I was a little disappointed that I only read 29 books for this challenge. I had several picture books I had to review and School started and we have a new principal and a new way of doing things at the school. Less reading time. Maybe I'll do better next time. Thanks for hosting this.
I'll get my wrap up post done tomorrow!
I'm really impressed with how many books everyone was able to read! I only managed to finish five, but that's pretty good for me. Thanks for hosting such a fun challenge!
Wow, some of you did AWESOME! I only managed 8...eh, sucks to work fulltime :( I'd quit my job and read forever, if I didn't have to pay those darn bills!
lol
Maybe I'll do better next time :(
Don't feel bad , i only read 5!! Oh well! :) Theres always next time
Whoops! Just now got around to adding in everything I read in August. I read a lot more than I suspected, especially given one of mine was over 500 pages. I'm pretty pleased with my effort. It's amazing to me how many books people read this month!
Thanks for the great challenge, had a lot of fun and its a challenge I can finish!
I read 8 books this month not bad at all.
Great challenge. I finished five books.
Here is my wrap-up post.
Thanks again for hosting!
I only finished four! Not too bad considering the circumstances!! I also did not count the children's books that I read and reviewed either.
Anyways, thanks for hosting!! Here's my wrap-up post . . http://tiftalksbooks.blogspot.com/2009/09/august-reading-challenge.html
