Reading Challenge

We’re challenging you to read books by Colorado authors in March! Share your thoughts/reviews of Colorado books you read in March, and also ones that you’ve read in the past. The purpose is to read, share, and spotlight Colorado books.

A linky will be posted on LiteraryCO and everyone can link up their reviews through out the month, and beyond. The linky will remain open through the end of the year so we can continue to share our reviews. The linky code will be made available to everyone, feel free to include the code in your review so your readers can easily hop through and discover CO authors!

Find books by Colorado authors:

Goodreads: Colorado Book List | Pinterest Board: Colorado Books

There will be a giveaway (or 2) for participants of the reading challenge, so link up those reviews!

Features

Authors, bloggers, and writers that signed up to participate will be interviewed on LiteraryCO.com as part of the LiteraryCO Spotlight Feature! Interviews will be posted through out the month, so check back as more are added. You can follow through this tag link, here.

Also, participants that signed up to participate in features are being paired up! Participants feature each other in various ways — guest posts, interviews, top ten lists, etc..
