Here’s the rundown:
1. The Sexy Showalter Reading Challenge runs from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. You can join at anytime from now and throughout the year. This is a 2013 challenge, so books read before January 1 will not count to your progress.
2. You pick your goal by picking a category! Read as many books as you’d like.
3. Re-reads are acceptable.
4. Books chosen can be of any genre (like we said, she writes a lot!)
5. To participate, copy and paste this post on your blog along with the challenge button. We ask that you provide a link back to the sign-up page in case others wish to participate.
6. Readers without blogs can still participate! Keep track of your progress with Goodreads, Shelfari or LibraryThing.
To sign up:
1. Make a sign up post announcement, listing the category you’ve chosen and a list of books you plan to read. If you don’t have a blog, post on GoodReads or another site as a thread where we can access your list of books. Be sure to take the image code above.
2. Come back here and using the list below, add your entry with a link directly to that post so we can see what you’ll be reading.
You’re done! Every month during 2013 we will make a challenge update post where you can come and updates us on how you’re doing with your challenge.

I don’t think the inlinkz code is working?? Either that or I’m blind and I can’t see where I’m supposed to sing up.
I noticed that! I think it’s fixed now, try again. Let me know if it doesn’t
It’s working now. Thank you!!
Yay, I have a whole pile of Gena’s books to read. Looking forward to this one. I wasn’t able to get the badge to work when I copy/pasted so I put a link to this page. I hope that’s alright. I’m not very good at that sort of thing.
Sounds like fun. I’m not sure if I have time for another reading challenge but tanks for the invite.
Love Gena Showalter, have read all her lords books so far so may her to do the challenge with her Alien Huntress series, I haven’t started them yet, it will give me an excuse to read them 🙂
Ohhh the alien huntress series is awesome!
Just signed up for the challenge, doing the Gaga for Gena, it’s about time I reread the Lords & can’t wait to read the Alien Huntress series, just preordered the new Angels of Darkness & waiting for the release of the first Otherworld Assassins book. Did I mention I love Gena Showalter 🙂
I love the guy on this button!He’s looking at me like he wants me ~ Annie
LOL Annie! 😀
I don’t know if I can do re-read, next year she have 3/4 books out right? This is a good chance for me to read her others books 🙂
Yeah! I hope to one day have read allll her books! She writes so many though, hard to keep up!
What happens if you have already read all her books. Do I need to re read them all to do this challenge?
Yes this challenge is only for books you read in 2013 but she has new books coming out that year if you don’t want to reread
I think I may have to do this, it would involve re-reading all her books for a 3rd time but that wouldn’t be a hard ship, love all her books and series…I think I am only missng 2 of her YA books my daughter reads…she is a wonderful author and has an amazing imagination…..
I tried to post to Goodreads but got error messages. Guess it isn’t meant to be.
Abby a link is not required you can sign up and then update your list of books when we post out monthly progress posts :). As long as you are keeping track every month of your progress
LOL I’ve already read them ALL! Guess its time to start over and read em again.
Time to start re-reading. Thanks to LOTU for creating my Showalter obsession. Definitely has expanded my reading material 😉
I have only read a couple of Gena’s books, so I have lots to choose from 🙂
All signed up! Thanks for hosting!
I have some Gena Showalter books on my tbr pile, I need to go through and see how many there are…
I can’t get the button to work on my blog! Help! 🙁
Lizz try replacing all the quotations ” delete the ones from the code and type them again yourself in the same place. This helped others. Let me know if it helps.
w00t w00t! Totally fixed! 😀
This is definitely a challenge I’m up for!!! 🙂 I’ve been trying to find the time to read more of her books and this will hopefully motivate me to get on it!
I’ve read almost all her books! I’ll just have to reread…thanks for the invite!
Can’t wait for the challenge
ok i feel really dumb but im not sure how to do a thread on goodreads. i have the pic up and listed my category that ive chosen but im not sure where to go from there. how do i do the link and sign up on this end? help please
Hi Shilo! Welcome to the challenge! Normally on GoodReads you can create a thread on a group that you belong to. Whether it be a Gena Showalter group or a Paranormal group, etc. there should be a section in that group that allows you to create a new topic. Once you find that make the title of your post the title of the challenge (probably with your username so people know that’s your thread) and then on your first post copy the code beneath the button and then list your books. Let me know if you need help from there.… Read more »
I am very tempted to join… but I don’t want to make a thread thingie… Is it ok if I make a separated shelf for the challenge on GoodReads?
You don’t have to. You can simply use the link to that shelf when you are signing up and then when we do our monthly update posts just pop back in the comments and share with everyone how you’re doing 🙂
That’s great then! I am so in!
Joining in! I will get the page set up today and add it in. I already have 2 unread books on my Kindle for Gena and 2 pre-ordered. Good start when I know I will read more than four of her books this year!
Okay an excuse to re-read all her books! Thanks so much! I am going to do this with Goodreads but don’t necessarily know what I am doing. lol
I am starting with ” Last Kiss Goodnight”! And will happily reread the LOTU & first 3 books in Atlantis series & other book/series I have.
I want to read them all. I have read some of them already, but it never hurts to read them again. 😀
I’m re-reading the Lords books right now, down to the 3rd book already and I don’t mind re-reading the Aliens series too! 🙂 She is one of the best out there! Love her books!
