Welcome All!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you decide to participate in the genre challenge. I know it will really help me get through some of those on my TRB list. However, I am hoping to add to my ever growing TRB list when I read you book reviews.

If you have any questions feel free to message me and I will get back to you as soon as life allows!

Happy Reading!

Comment by Darrell Moneyhon on February 9, 2012 at 3:25pm: DON'T PULL MY UNDERPANTS DOWN!

But please do participate in "debriefing" me about my blog talk radio interview with Sharon Ann Wikoff. Here is the link to the show: Creating Conscious Consensus with Darr... . In case the link isn't "live," here's the URL : http://www.blogtalkradio.com/voiceofchange/2012/02/03/creating-cons...

Listen when you get the chance, then critique the strengths and weaknesses of my very first book interview. It's obvious that I am anything but a smooth talker or gifted orator, but I hope some potent ideas and heartfelt expressions occured during my talk on "spiritual consensus" or "creating conscious consensus." The interview also gave me a venue to plug my book, Allsville Emerging: Creating and Experiencing a New Culture Together (www.allsvilleemerging.com , http://sbpra.com/DarrellMoneyhon ).

Debrief me! (but please be kind!)

Darrell

Comment by RYCJ on December 4, 2009 at 9:45pm: Thanks 5Peas! I don't know how I missed this explanation. Yes, it makes total sense. I'll add a page to my blog and start with my upcoming reviews...

thanks again!

Comment by Kara on December 4, 2009 at 10:42am: Can't wait to get started with this in 2010!!!

Comment by 5peasinapod on November 29, 2009 at 8:54am: Hi RYCJ! Glad you found the group.

I too read a lot of different genres, but I have my top 4 or 5 that I gravitate to (Sci-Fi, paranormal, fantasy, and young adult) If you only read a certain type of book once or twice a year, you can count that. I have read memoirs, but not many nor frequently. Does that make sense?

I say this with wink, but are you extending 2010 into 09's November? lol? Since you are awesome, you can count them if you want in the genre challenge! ;)

However, to be eligible for the gift cards the books need to be reviewed on your blog. Cut and Pasting from Amazon, Goodreads, or the like is okay too! I'm trying to introduce different genres to people that may otherwise not pick one up. Posting on your blog helps introduce these books and genres to your readers.

Make sure you start your own thread in the discussion section above. When you blog about a book for the challenge link us up to the review in the thread you already started. That way all of the links and reviews are in one place. This will allow me to keep track of your entries for the prizes.

For the sake of simplification, if you blog and review a new genre you will be entered into the contest for the blog roll. After you reach 3 new genre blog posts, you will be eligible for the "more you try" giveaway. With each new genre you blog about, you will receive an additional entry for both after that.

Does that make sense?

Comment by RYCJ on November 29, 2009 at 1:07am: I don't know how exactly to measure my reading since I already skip around reading varying genres... but I've over the holiday I read 2 books, both romantic comedies...
