Hello and welcome to the Book Reading Challenge 2011, that will be launched from 28th of March 2011 and will actually be on from 1st April 2011 to 31st May 2011.
What is the aim of this challenge?
The aim of this challenge is quite simple. We want to promote reading - and we specifically want to promote reading of a genre you might not have read before.
Who are the organizers?
This reading challenge has been organized by In My Bookshelves, a book review site, and Book Readers Lounge, a blog, or rather a group that connects people who love reading and introduces them to various little known Indian authors.
What do you mean by a reading challenge?
By a reading challenge, we mean a challenge to yourself - challenge to read a certain number of books in a particular period of time. Here, we also give you a fixed theme.
What is your theme this year?
For 2011, our theme is India - thus, we include books by Indians, about Indians, and about India.
