Book Binge Starts on Wednesday
Just a reminder. Our annual Book Binge starts April 1. Here are the “rules”, such as they are:
1. For the month of April, keep track of the books you read.
2. On May 1, post your list on your blog.
Easy, no? You can write a review or reader response if you wish, but a list of titles and authors is also perfectly acceptable.
Three other points:
1. You may include books you re-read, so long as you re-read them in between April 1 and 30.
2. You may also include books you start but don’t finish, just note the page at which you gave it up. Something like, “Quit, page 47 of 322″.
3. Children’s books must be at least 125 pages long to be counted. (Books you read to your children, if they are at least 125 pages, would also count.)
If you wish to participate, leave a comment with link. If you want one of those book binge buttons, here is the code:
There’s a small and a medium version. All you have to do is copy and paste the the following code into your sidebar or post.
For SMALL (125 pixels wide, suitable for a sidebar),
Copy and paste this code:

For MEDIUM (240 pixels wide),
Copy and paste this code:

(And if you, like me, are in awe at the way I have CODE on the blog, without it turning into the button and ‘vanishing’ the code, I can’t take the credit. This bit of playing with the browser’s head was devised by my devious husband. Isn’t he just so smart???)
You know I’m in. Do books we started before Wednesday but haven’t finished yet, count? 😛
Technically, no, but am I standing over your shoulder looking at the stack on your bedside table? No, I am not…

This looks like great fun! I’ve been stalking your blog since my baby turned into a toddler and I love it!!

Zayna, I think they do *cough* otherwise I’m really going to wish I started the 350 page book the day after tomorrow rather than yesterday…
Shhh! I’m sure that all you’ve done so far is read the flyleaf, right? And maybe the back cover? That doesn’t count. Not at all.

I’m in, too (via Book Thingo).
There are 30 days in April. Can Kat read 30 books? Perhaps not, but I’m betting she’ll read more than 20!

I’m in!
Oh, good!

Thank you Beth F for pointing me to this site!
While I am extra busy at school this month – this challenge also happens to coincide with the 24-hour read a thon, so I am hoping to have at least a short list of completed books by the end of the month. Thanks for hosting!
