So excited for the first wrap up :)) Yay! I can't believe January is almost over though.
I second that! I'm gutted that I only managed to read 2 books - duh, I blame the university. Love this challenge!!
I loved this challenge! The little snowflakes are so pretty. :)
Me too ladies! I had an awesome book month and I can not wait for next month!! ~ Donna
I'm really happy for this challenge , thanks you again ^^
the contest with the snowflakes is really interesting
I only got in two books, but that's alright! There was only one of those covers I couldn't figure out. :(
How are the snowflakes numbered cuz there are a couple ways to look at it and I don't want to be wrong
It doesn't matter how there numbered hun. Anyway you think. ~ Donna
Oh, two covers I couldn't figure out. Love the idea though as you can't cheat and look online if you don't have an idea!
I'm quite impressed I managed 4 books from TBR pile this month! :-)
I was able to read one book from the TBR this month, but didn't get the review up in time to link it. I'm ok with that and know February will be better, but I'm bummed I don't get to play the cover challenge! How fun! :)
I only managed to read one book. I will have to do a lot better next month or my TBR pile will fall over and crush me.
I don't recognise any of the covers from that quiz! I don't read many books with young girlies on the cover though so I suspect they are from a genre I don't know much about.
I read three books, but only one of them was for the TBR challenge! Oh...and I can only identify maybe four of the book covers. Ho hum! It serves me right for having time off from blogging!
One of those graphics nearly drove me crazy, but I think I figured it out in the end. I really like these kinds of challenges!

I really enjoyed your challenge! Only got 8 out of the 12 though ):
I read one book for the challenge. I hope I'll do better next month.
Where do we link up our reviews?
Ah, figuring out that middle one just about killed me...it was right there at the back of my mind but I couldn't remember it. When I googled my guess for the name, nothing popped up! Oh well I remembered I had one word wrong. Feel very proud of myself LOL

Those covers KILLED me! I know one of them but completely blanked, but I managed to get eight of them, I think ^_^
I love this challenge!!! Will be linking up my reviews in the next couple days. How exciting!! :D
I've entered and linked up all of my reviews!! Good luck, everyone :)
Hi, and thank you SO much for the giveaway!! I've linked up one review; I've only been able to read one book for the challenge so far, but I'll try to get another one in before Feb. 15th!
I'm not entering the mini-challenge. I can only name one book!! Oh, well...
GOOD LUCK, EVERYBODY!! : )

Oh, shoot...I almost forgot to tell you guys...I'm now following your blog!! : )
I can't believe that I managed to read 4 books for this challenge! :) I love the mini-challenge as well but I'm stuck on 2 covers though.
Hey Donna, I linked up my reviews - great challenge, there was only 1 I couldn't get.
Question - is there a place we need to link our monthly wrap up post as well? Or just the reviews here?
Thanks, Jess
Hey Jess!
So glad you enjoyed it! Just the reviews can be posted here but feel free to send me your wrap up post link so I can take a peak! ~ Donna
Seems like all I read in January this year were eligible for this challenge. 9 books but I did a few mini reviews and got reduced to 5 posts ;(
Looking forward to doing some kick ass reading in Feb. I even have a ninja kindle to guide my way ;D
Yay! I'm enjoying this challenge so much! Thanks for hosting it :D
Hugs to all!
Perfect, thanks Donna!
It's right here: http://immabookworm.blogspot.com/2012/01/january-wrap-up-2012-tbr-reading.html
Are you going to publish the answers to the quiz when it's over? I'm dying to know the one I couldn't get!!
My first wrap up on my first challenge! Too cool! :) Thanks for the giveaway
Thanks for hosting this month's wrap-up :D
OK. I added my reviews but I'm not sure if they count. I got ARCs for 2012 releases in 2011 and I started off the year by finishing those first?
You can take them down if they don't count and let me know please for next month! I thought the link-up would just go to our own wrap-up posts so I didn't ask before. Thanks!
Erika @ Suddenly Books/One A Day Y.A.
Hey Erika,
If the book is actually released in 2012, then they don't count. Sorry hun! They would need to be 2011 release dates only.
Please let me know if you've got any queries.
Donna
