It may be spring outside, but we are all stuck in the house doing our bit to help fight the spread of the coronavirus. What better time is there for a reading challenge? And the #Cybils Awards has stepped up to the plate with a reading challenge that will help you spring clean all those books sitting in you TBR pile. And it's such a simple challenge, but naturally there are a few rules⬇︎
CYBILS AWARDS TBR READING CHALLENGE
October 1st will be here before we know it, and we'll be looking for your nominations for Cybils 2020...and some of those nominees might just be sitting on your TBR pile! To help you find those nominees (and get through anything else on that pile) we're inviting you to join our challenge!
The #CybilsReaddown challenge runs from 4/15/2020 to 6/15/2020. This challenge is not about who read the most books!
Instead, the goal of this challenge is to share with other readers what you are reading, reviewing, and recommending (or not) to others.
To make it a little extra fun, we have a prize!! One lucky reader will win a Cybils Awards book tote! The winner will be selected in a random drawing of entries.
