Changes & Challenges!
On what was to be the day of our big reveal, we experienced formatting issues that made it impossible for us to continue using our chosen new template for this site. Over the next few days, we’ll reselect a template and make the necessary adjustments so please bear with us.
In the mean time, I can tell you about a new feature here at Texty Ladies…the book challenge! You have noticed them on other blogs or might even be participating in one more more yourself. It seems that people can get quite addicted to them!
We’ve created our own challenge and if it’s successful, we might consider hosting one quarterly. Our first challenge is the:
Rules:
- The challenge runs from August 10, 2009 to December 10, 2009 (4 months).
- The goal is to read at least 1 ebook each month for a total of 4 ebooks (or more if you’d like). These can be read all in one month or one each month; it’s up to you.
- You do not have to have a blog to participate.
- It is okay to use ebooks you’re using for other challenges but at least 2 should be specific to this challenge.
- If you do have a blog, it would be great if you posted the books you are reading on your site, perhaps even writing a review for each one or post one wrap-up post about all the ebooks you’ve read for this challenge. If you do not have a blog, please comment on this article listing your name and how many ebooks you plan to read. You may also list their titles if you know them.
- To sign up, please leave a comment for this article with the above information. We’re having Mr. Linky issues right now but plan to use it for future challenges.
- Prizes, you say? But of course! We’ve got a Texty Ladies basket of goodies for the challenge participant whose name is drawn at the end of this challenge.
If you have any questions about the challenge and its rules, please leave your question in the comments or use our contact page and we’ll answer promptly. Oh, and please help yourself to the button we’ve created for this challenge.
That’s all there is to it. Easy as pie, right? We do hope you’ll participate and we look forward to hearing about your ebook experiences (and hopefully get to read some reviews as well)! Happy reading!
We appreciate your continued patience with the many changes occurring here at Texty Ladies. We sincerely hope our efforts will provide you with a much better organized site.

First, congratulations on the new site launch!
Second, do the eBooks have to be any particular length?
I might do this.
Hi Pamela!
No particular book length is required. I’m excited that you’re considering joining this challenge! Are you thinking of reading ebooks in one particular genre or many?
Okay, I’m in. After all, I’ve challenged myself to read Sherrilyn Kenyon’s entire Dark-Hunter series from the beginning, so this one should be easy.
Is it all right to link this challenge to my blog, site, Twitter, FaceBook, etc.?
My four books are:
Butterfly Tattoo (Deidre Knight)
Called by Blood (Evie Byrne)
Not Quite Dead (Sela Carsen)
Queen’s Gambit (Marie Treanor)
Congrats on the new layout!
What a great book list for the challenge, Pamela! Yes, you can certainly link this challenge to your blog, site, Twitter, etc. I’ll be posting on this again this week so hopefully we’ll get some more participants. I haven’t posted my list here or at my blog yet so I’ll do that this week. Cripes! So much to do, so little time. Enjoy your ebook reading and I look forward to reading your thoughts on your selections!
Sorry for posting late. I did read four e-books. They just weren’t the ones on my list.
