The other day I was messing around on Pinterest looking up recipes, which then lead into a bizarre spiral of looking up blogging boards and tips, because even though I have been doing this since 2009, there are always things for me to learn. On several blogging boards I came across different blogging challenges with interesting writing prompts, which were a lot like those challenges on Instagram. Unfortunately, none of the challenges were totally book blog related, so I decided HEY OMG OMG I should make one of these for book blogs and for the past 2 hours, I have been working on this super fly challenge!
There are no hard and fast rules to participating. I will begin my posts for the challenge starting tomorrow. I will put a linky on the end of each post and leave it up for like 6 months because I am unable to figure out how to make it last longer on inlinkz. If you decide to participate, all I ask is that you link back and maybe leave a comment or two for your fellow participants. Get as creative as you want with this — pictures, vlogs, the works! I am excited to see how you respond to these prompts.
I will be participating because aside from creating this, I have lost a bit of my energy for blogging, as you have probably seen by the sporadic posts of late. Yes, I have been busy. However, there have been days when I get home from work and instead of working on the blog, reading, or exercising I end up turning on the TV and vegging out. That’s not my own personal ideal. And so, I want to be excited again and one of the things that excites me is prattling on and on to you all about things that are personal to me, and you know, reading is SO personal.
Dear readers, I hope that you join in and get to know other members of our vibrant, large, awesome and wonderful community. If you are feeling the blogging doldrums like I am, I hope this helps to pull you out and give you some focus.

And I believe you struck gold with this idea 😉 I might have to join you. Definitely Super Fly.
This sounds fantastic! I’m definitely going to be participating later this month.
This sounds like a great idea! Count me in!!!! I have been feeling the blogging blues as of late. Hopefully this will give me some inspiration!
Yay, April! This sounds like such a great idea! It is 100% my intention to participate fully. I refuse to acknowledge my failure at “those challenges on Instagram” to which you liken this awesome set of prompts. THIS WILL NOT BE THE SAME.
I’m definitely up for this! Like you, I’ve been really busy recently, and blogging has fallen to the wayside a bit. Hopefully your challenge will get me motivated and excited again!
I’m totally joining you !
I’m definitely in. It’ll have to wait until I’m back from comic con in a couple of weeks but I really need to work on my blogging.
What a cool idea! Not sure how much time I’ll have to participate but I would love to try to post at least a few of these.
I am SO doing this! Can’t wait to participate! Will do my first post tomorrow as well! Thanks for thinking up this awesome idea!
This is a great idea! I’ll definitely be participating!
Back when I still had a personal blog, I enjoyed participating in stuff like this! It’s pretty cool that you decided to create one specific to book blogging. I may just have to join in for this — if I don’t end up being really busy 🙁
This is SUCH a fresh idea! This is why you rock.
Oh my gosh, April, this is an awesome idea! I have also been suffering from Blogger Fatigue, as you put it. I’ve never thought to myself “I don’t want to blog anymore” but I’ve been feeling a little uninspired lately. I’m actually starting to get back to myself, but this perfect to help push my right back into it.
So yay!
But now I have to put together my post 🙂
While I’m not just a book blogger, I loved reading this post. It gave me a little inspiration to schedule a post for later this week and write something up for today. I have been a little lazy, even with my reading. 14 books behind schedule according to goodreads so I’ve got some serious reading to do in July.
YAYYY! This sounds so exciting 😀 I’m definitely gonna try and participate!!
Totally awesome idea. And I’m so in! I’ve been in the doldrums myself with blogging for the past few, and your challenge sounds like so much fun!
This looks like so much fun. I think I will start it next week if that’s ok.
Thanks for the awesome post 🙂
This is such a good idea!!!! Totally awesome and I am SO in!!! 🙂
This is such a great idea. I’m passing the blog link on to my authors at Eternal Press and Damnation Books. Let’s see if we can get some authors to join you since they’re all big readers.
Coolio. Will be doing this over at CheapassFiction. Definitely could use a challenge to brighten things up a bit! Though, it looks like, as usual, I will be fashionable late to the party……..
🙂
A-mazing idea! The OCD list maker in me just perked right up. You rock!
Ditto on what everyone has already said! Amazingly awesome idea and my blog has been sporadic as well. Def participating!
Totally joining! I have shirking my book blogging duties and this looks like something that might get me out of my blogging and reading funk.
I’m a little late but am going to try and participate as well. Great idea!
I love this fantastic idea! I will be joining in sometime soon for sure. Great job putting these prompts together 🙂
What an awesome idea. I’m a little late to the party, but I’m definitely joining the fun. Thanks for organizing this 🙂
This is going to be fun! I’ve been looking for a way to get to know the other book bloggers in the blogging universe!
This was a fun idea!
What a great and fabulous idea!!! I saw all the posts yesterday and decided to join! It seems like lots of fun and especially like a good way to get to know us better! Thanks for hosting this!
Count me in! I think this may open up a whole new way of book blogging for me:)
btw I’m @Gingerquirrel
I love this idea!!
I never have time with trying to get book2 finished. Have fun!
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
Can’t wait to participate. Brilliant suggestions and wonderful topics for discussion.
Definitely gonna give this a go 🙂 Probably over a few weekends when I don’t have any posts go live!
I will do this starting July 15th – next Monday
Love this idea. So much fun.
I found out about this late but I’m so in!
Different! Love it! I won’t be doing 15 days in a row…..but will hopefully do all 15. Thanks to Kristilyn at http://readinginwinter.com/ for alerting me to this challenge.
fun! i may join in. i like that the rules are kind of loose. thanks for thinking of this!
Now this sounds like a fun idea! Especially since I’ve been a little out of the blogging loop due to moving.
I’m feeling overly challenged lately, so won’t be joining in, but I’ll enjoy reading what everybody posts in response to your daily challenges!
I’m behind a few days, but this sounds like a lot of fun!!! About to put together my “Day 1” 🙂 Thanks for such a cool idea!!
I love the idea I’m definitely doing it.
Thanks for the great challenge.
What a fab idea for a challenge! I don’t have the time to do 15 days in a row but I was thinking it would be great fun to take part once a week if that’s OK?
Have you thought about adding links to all the different days on your sidebar or having a challenge page so that those of us who aren’t doing it now will be able to find the right post to add our links to later? I think it will make it easier for more of us to join in the fun 🙂
I’ll try to get my first post up in the next couple of days
So – I’m kind of late in joining, but better late than never, right?! Super fun! Thanks for sharing.
This seems like an excellent challenge idea. I never do challenges but I may have to try this one. Also I just found your blog and have been loving it.
Awesome idea!
I’ll join in, but will start next week and probably blog a couple of times per week – my schedule will be out from yours, but it will still be fun to see what everyone else does!
I’m joining in! But since I just now found this challenge I’m starting day one today instead of fast forwarding to Day 4. 🙂
Sounds fun! I’ll start today!
this sounds like so much fun, I’m gonna get started as soon as possible
I found this on one of my friend feeds from Twitter, and I’m going to participate as well. I think I’ll pen most of my answers to these in advance so I don’t fall behind. Probably will start next week on Monday and let the entries go from there. Thank you for creating this!
I am definitely going to start this. I am going to get a post together so it will post tomorrow. So cool.
I will be starting this! 🙂
I really want to do this!!! Will start pretty soon! Great idea!
Oh my gosh, YAY! This looks like so much fun! I will definitely be participating as my schedule allows. 😀
I’m a new follower and I always love a good writing prompt! I’m starting a little late and will probably post sporadically but I love the idea and will link up when I post!
Started Day 1 today. Great idea.
I just saw this now! Is it too late to join? Can I start at Day 1 tomorrow and just be a week behind everyone else?
Totally fine! 🙂
I’m going to do this too over on Ink Out Loud. Sounds like fun!
Hey I just this, and this looks fabulously fun! Is it too late to join? Would you be fine with me starting this like next week on Monday?
Yes! You can totally start then 🙂
Was waiting for the linky but I’ll just add it here. Day 10 Book Blogger Challenge
April – delightfully nice blogging exercises here. Thanks.
Here’s mine, day one:
http://thepaperbackstash.blogspot.com/2013/07/day-1-15-book-related-confessions.html
I am thinking of participating, but I don’t know the answers to all of these fifteen questions! Is it okay if I don’t answer all the questions? 🙂
Okay I will be posting my first entry tomorrow! This is such a great idea. Thanks!
What great questions!
i am definitely joining, and will be posting the first one in a few days! thanks for making this challenge 🙂
I discovered about this challenge a few days ago on parajunkee.com This seems fun and I am exploring to find things to do on my blog. I am a new book review blogger and I only been having my feet in the water for a few days now. I am a bit overwhelmed yet excited. I have yet to pick what book I want to read for my first review.
Just started this today! It seems like a great challenge, thank you for creating it 🙂
Ooh, I saw several of my blogger friends had been doing this challenge, but I figured I’d left it too late. But I’d love to have a go. I’ve neglected my blog lately, but there are lots of great questions and prompts here – fantastic challenge.
Found this on The Day Dreaming, Candy Eating Red-Headed bookworm’s blog. It is inspiring me to participate. I am relatively new to blogging, so this seems exciting to me.
Totally doing this! Thanks for making this 🙂
Totally going to participate. I’ll have to work on some posts now… Thanks for the idea (and I’ll be adding links once the posts are up)!
This seems like a fun challenge!
Is it too late to join? xD
D’you think I can start Day 1 today or tomorrow? ^^
Ooo I’ve just seen this recently and it sounds like so much fun. I hope it’s never too late to start!
Interesting challenge you got here. I think I’ll participate because it looks like it will be fun! 🙂
Wow! This is just what my blog needs. Thanks for making this challenge!
I just came across this today. . .I think it’s just exactly what I need to make my blog a bit more interesting! Thanks for sharing!
I’m going to do this one in hopes that it gets me going again. Here’s my introductory post: http://allbookedup-elena.blogspot.ca/2013/10/15-day-book-blog-challenge.html
