Since I love discussion posts, and we do have our own weekly (for the most part) discussion feature here called Chat Between Chapters, I thought it would be a good idea to join in on the 2015 Book Blog Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight!
How to participate in /join the 2015 Book Blog Discussion Challenge:
- The 2015 Book Blog Discussion Challenge runs from January 1st until December 31st, 2014.
- Sign-ups will remain open until December 31st, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. Central
- You DO NOT have to have a book blog to join this challenge. If you don’t have a book blog, you may link up to discussions that you’ve started on Goodreads groups.
- Create a sign-up post announcing your intention to participate and link up below. If you do not have a blog, you can link up to your Goodreads profile. There is no need to say what your discussion posts will be about – just tell us that you’re joining and let us know what your goal is.
- Please link back to both challenge hosts and include the challenge button in your sign-up posts.
- Every month, we’ll update this 2015 Book Blog Challenge Page with the links to that month’s Challenge linky – so you’ll always know where to find the latest link-up!
- Share it! The more people we get to participate in this, the more awesome discussions we can all be a part of and the more fun it will be! So, invite your friends to join us!
- This challenge is to help get us discussing books and book blogging, so talk about whatever you want as long as it’s relevant to book blogging. Discussions can be book related or book blogging related (or generally blogging related – no discussions about things that are completely off-topic like travel or fashion, etc). Discussions can also be about you personally if it’s a get-to-know-you type post.
- There will be a kick-off post on January 1, 2015 on both Feed Your Fiction Addiction and It Starts at Midnight where you’ll be able to leave your links for any January discussions. At the beginning of every month, a new post will go up on both blogs for that month’s links.
- If you forgot to leave your discussion link in the challenge month in which you posted the discussion or the linky list closed before you had a chance to leave it, you can leave it in a future month. (No duplicates though.)
- There will also be monthly giveaways, so make sure you check in each month!
- Use the hashtag #LetsDiscuss2015 to share your progress and connect with other participants on Twitter.
The 2015 Book Blog Discussion Challenge Levels:
1-12 – Discussion Dabbler
13-24 – Creative Conversationalist
25-36 – Chatty Kathy
37-48 – Terrifically Talkative
49+ – Gift of the Gab
Since we do have a weekly feature, I’m going to sign us up for The Gift of the Gab level. Hopefully this will motivate us to continue to come up with weekly topics.
I definitely love discussion posts best, since they are so interactive. I’m looking forward to linking up our own posts and reading other participants’ posts 🙂 Yay!
I do have a question – well a couple of questions. 🙂
1. Do we post every day or on a specific day?
2. I am also not sure what I am to post. A question about blogging or books? Or do I create a post that others can discuss about blogging, books, or other topics?
This sounds fun, but I am not sure of how I can participate and what I need to do.
Thanks.
I will be looking for your reply.
THANKS.

You should go to the challenge host’s site for more details but i believe you can link up any bookish discussion posts you do on your blog.
Thanks, Julie.
I did go to the host’s site, but am still confused. 🙂
Thanks…I like the idea of not having a special post that needs to be done and just using one I have on my blog.

Oh I am SO tempted to sign up to this. I do heaps of discussions….!! I kind of hoped there’d be prompts, but never mind, I think I still might. *trots over to Shannon’s blog*
Thanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!
So glad you’re joining us! I’ve always been a fan of Chat Between Chapters, so I’m glad that you’ll be linking up so none of us miss out on your posts! 🙂

Oh this is fun! I have a feature, but I’ve really let it go by the wayside lately – and I’ve been wanting to revive in the new year anyway. I’ll add this to my growing pile of challenges to consider! So many and I want to do them all 🙂

Yea I want to see more of your feature 🙂
Damn you! I don’t need another challenge! But this sounds so cool! Is three year-long challenges too many?
