I'm beyond excited today to share with you the schedule for the upcoming All Male Review Challenge, it promises to be ridiculous amounts of fun. What's the All Male Review Challenge you ask? Well, I have all the details courtesy of Missie at The Unread Reader below, but I think the most important thing you all need to know is it has to do with boys. Delicious fictional ones and the men and women who write them. WIN!
Some of you who read the blog frequently may have noticed I tend to harbor rather epically intense crushes on my fictional boyfriends, and what better way to fan the flames of my impressive passion than to participate in an event that actually challenges me to read about as many boys as possible? I've made this sound a little slutty haven't I? Well done me. Be prepared my friends. I'm a highly competitive person, so factor that in with my fictional sluttiness and I'm going to be a force to be reckoned with. YOU WILL NOT BEAT ME!
In all seriousness though, this should be a lot of fun, so I hope you'll sign up and go toe to toe with me (or boy to boy, whichever) and the other fabulous ladies hosting the event. Missie has kindly compiled all the information you'll need to participate, so I'm just going to steal it all directly from her:
Ever feel like you don’t read enough young adult novels by male authors or featuring male protagonists? Then we have the reading challenge for you!
