Introducing the JLA Reading Challenge! Time for Sign-Ups! #JLARC

Welcome to the JLA Reading Challenge in honor of Jennifer L. Armentrout and her awesomeness. I figured since Jen is gracing us with a new delicious book every month this year starting in August, why not do a reading challenge so people new and old can revel in the wonderful book worlds she has created! Jennifer L. Armentrout is the author of fabulous books such as The Covenant Series and The Lux series, as well as so many other books. Seriously, this lady pumps out fantastic books like nobody's business!

Yes, Jen has got FIVE, count 'em FIVE books (plus a novella) coming out in the latter half of the year and wouldn't you just love the challenge of reading all her books and talking about them with other fans?! In case you didn't know, her upcoming releases for the year will be Onyx (Lux Series #2), Cursed, Tempting the Player (Gamble Brothers #2), Deity (Covenant Series #3), Elixir (Covenant Series - Aiden's novella), and Opal (Lux Series #3).

Awesome, right?! Thank. You. Jen!

1. In order to participate in the Challenge, you must SIGN UP via the Linky List below. You can join the Challenge at any time as long as you sign up (the Linky will remain open throughout the Challenge). Your link must be on this list in order to be eligible for prizes.

2. Each month will feature a different book/series that you will be challenged to read. You can read any of Jen's books in whatever order you'd like, but I'm sure it'd be more fun to go with the challenge and read whichever book we're featuring for the month. As long as you reviewed the book(s) anytime from August 1-December 31st, it counts as an entry into our giveaways.

3. Post a NEW review to any of these media outlets - Your Blog, Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble or Facebook. If you've already written a review somewhere, you can either write a NEW review on an outlet you haven't written on OR simply post about the book (i.e. thoughts about the re-reading the books) on any of the aforementioned websites.

4. Add a link of your review/post to the provided Linky List in the Monthly Challenge Post. The Linky will open on the 1st of the month and close THREE days after the end of the month (for those who don't have time to link up on that day). Only reviews/posts made during that month for the book(s) challenged will count towards the giveaway. If you post multiple reviews on different websites, each one counts as ONE entry. As long as the review was written within that month, it counts.

5. At the end of the Challenge, I'll do a Wrap-Up post and host a giveaway for ONE of Jen's 2013 releases (Title -TBD, details subject to change). Once release dates are announced, I'll let you know which book is up for grabs in the post. There might even be something special for those who participate every month, so keep that in mind.

6. All giveaways are valid ONLY for wherever The Book Depository ships, so if you're entering the giveaways, please make sure they ship to you.

7. If you have ANY questions or concerns, please email Vivian at DEITYISLAND[AT]GMAIL[DOT]COM and I'll do my best to answer them.

I hope you got all that! Now are you ready for the Challenge?!
