Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Welcome to our first ever reading challenge. We're starting with a trilogy so it won't be too overwhelming and can easily fit in to your schedule ... Our choice: THE LUNARMORTE trilogy,  consisting of Moon Spell, River Cast, and Blood Solstice by the wonderful Samantha Young. 
Many of you know we're big Sam fans. Kathryn hasn't read her first series (and still my favorite of her works), so we thought, what better way to get more of you sucked in to this fantastic world she's created than to cajole and entice you with a small challenge and goodies to be EARNED and won. 
But before we get to the fun, we need to go over the guidelines in order to qualify for said gifts and giveaways.

Here they are:

1. Make sure you have signed up under the Reading Challenge post so we can know exactly who is participating.

2.  In order to receive the gifts, you must be signed up, have read the book, and participate in the discussion.

3.  For the Grand prize, follow guideline number 2, plus....writes a review for each book and put the link for the review in the reading challenge post... (your review can be written on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, your blog, amazon, etc... Just make sure you put the link to your review in the reading challenge post... This way if you have it done before our chat, no one will have spoilers to read through..)

Now... What are the gifts and prizes? 

For participating... You will each get a charm that represents each book... This is why it is important to sign up so we can make sure we have enough for everyone....
For the Grand Prize and extras:  a signed copy of the trilogy to a Grand prize winner. For 2 runners  up.... a paperback copy of Moon Spell to sent directly to them from amazon.

Sounds great, eh??? 
Soooo.... Our first book is Moon Spell.
Please sign up in the reading challenge post by July 23rd.  After the 23rd, the sign ups will be closed... You will then have a month to read and complete your review and be ready to participate in the discussion... Bring your questions too... Because Sam is planning to drop by and chat too!! :D

Alright then.... Get going...have FUN and get chatting!

We would like to give a special thanks to Rachel @ Fiktshun for her innovation in the reading challenge and Jean @ Jean BookNerd for her inspiration on the challenge gifts... 
both have inspired and encouraged us on our blogging journey and we encourage you to follow them as well! 

Are we still doing a chat for River Cast? Have to admit I've barely had time to start it.

You bet, Deann! We're sorry we've neglected the group. August and September have been crazy busy for us. But yes, we'll start the discussion again on the 24th. ;)

Hey guys!
If anyone has any other questions about the challenge (or just want to comment on Moon Spell), feel free to ask.
Remember, to qualify for your gifts at the end and our giveaway, you must post a review of each of the trilogy AND participate in the discussions.

Thanks again for being part of our group and signing IP for the challenge. We know you're all very busy too, so we appreciate you taking the time to read and discover a great love of ours in Sam. ;)

I would really love a charm and want to finish this series but i have fallen behind. If I finish both by the last discussion, can I still get a charm?

Absolutely, Deann. Have you not noticed I'm ALWAYS behind? Life happens, we understand. And you are always active with comments, so no worries. Get caught up when you can. ;)

I will add a thread for it...

Wow is everyone doing?
