Ok ok…. before you go calling the CAA (Challenge Addicts anonymous) – hear me out. This is a POSITIVE thing. What Delgal’s Book Reviews has presented here, is a challenge for us to put away $1 for every book we read. From Jan 1 – Dec 31, a buck a book put somewhere that you can not spend it. At the end of the year you have a little bonus money for all the wonderful reads you read during the year and the money is to be used for something special for yourself. Is it books? A new book shelf? Maybe it is a little pampering? Die hard readers this could be the start to your BEA 2011 fund! Whatever it is – it is yours for the reading! How super fab cool is that?
So – of course I am in! And I owe money for my January reads! Pop in at Delgal’s Book Reviews for official details and to get signed up! Come on! EVERYBODY’S doing it! 🙂


What a great challenge..but.. I think I may go broke with it!
Only a buck a book Lydia – if you pay as you go it should be doable…. 🙂
Okay, this does sound good. But I would have to stash it in some special place that would be hard for me to access!
I do need more bookshelves, though. Something like you put up near the ceiling, because I have no other spot for them!
Get reading and saving Laurel! 🙂
This does sound like a great idea. I wish you luck!
Thanks Literary!
This is such a good idea.
I thought so too Vivienne… I can do this.
This is a wonderful idea and you are right…what a great way to help get ready for the BEA. I would love to do that next year!
Depending on your reading rate – you could come pretty close to paying for the BEA entrance fee.
I’m all for this! I am wanting a new bookshelf!
Oh good Tami – and how fun to tell people how you paid for the shelf!
I’m really toying with joining this challenge.
I have an award for you here.
Come on Jennifer -everyone is doing it! LOL
This will be fun to see where I end up.
I think so too Esme… I am curious what i can put away in a year since I have no idea how many books I read in 2009
I saw this on other blogs and I think it is such a creative idea. Way to go!
J Kaye 🙂
Glad you joined up!
Ryan glad you posted it!
Good luck Sheila! At the rate you read, am sure you’ll have your BEA 2011 fee in no time! 🙂
LOL Alexia – how sweet would that be?
Hey what a great idea! I’ll have to try it and maybe I could go on a book shopping spree ! It will be fun to see how much money everyone stashed and what they did with it!
Oh that would be fun Natalie – like a wrap up post of what was saved and where it was spent 🙂
What a great idea! I’ll have to figure out what I’ve read this month and get started. I might use it on more books, or if I read a lot, I’ll use it on a mini vacation.
I have to add mine up too Pat!
