Welcome to the January monthly link-up for the 2016 Book Blog Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight!
Can you believe it’s 2016? This past year went by SO fast! We’re so excited to get a new year of our challenge started! Welcome to all our new participants and welcome back to those of you who are returning!!
The winner of our November discussion challenge link-up was Jamie @ Vailia’s Page Turner! She chose By Sun and Saltwater by Kate Avery Ellison as the book she’s thankful for (and the book she won). She says, “I was very lucky and fortunate to have the chance to read the first book. I am thankful for the chance to continue the series and for being introduced to this amazing underwater world.”
If you don’t know what this challenge is all about or haven’t signed up yet (but want to), head on over to the challenge sign-up page to learn more! Even if you’d rather not join, we hope you’ll stop by occasionally to check out the MANY discussion posts that are being linked up here – there’s lots of great discussions going on!
If you need some ideas for discussion ideas this month, try out one of these topics:
- Your 2016 reading and blogging resolutions.
- Which two characters from two different books would you love to see together and why?
- What are your favorite types of posts to read? Love reviews? Deep discussions? Lighthearted observations? Funny quizzes? Top Ten Tuesdays? We want to know!
Looking for more inspiration, or want to see some discussion posts as an example? Check out the discussion posts on Feed Your Fiction Addiction or It Starts at Midnight (click the links to be brought directly to our discussion posts).
Since it’s a new year, you can enter to win any 2016 pre-order (up to a $17 value). We know you’re looking forward to lots of new releases in the coming year. If you’re participating in any 2016 reading challenges, pick a book that will work for one of them and let us know which one it works for! (This isn’t required, just fun.) The giveaway is open internationally as long as TBD ships to you. Just follow the Rafflecopter instructions to enter!
Make sure to link up all of your January discussion posts here. This linky and the January giveaway will be open until February 7th (to give people a little extra time to link up – just in case you’re disorganized like we are. If, by some chance, you forget to link up a post this month, you can add it to next month’s linky (but no duplicates, please).
Go forth, and discuss!

I signed up for this challenge again! I didn’t do well l last year, but I guess that means I have lots of left other discussion post ideas for this year!
Ooo this is such a great idea, as you know I LOVE discussions – both writing and reading them, so this would be such a fantastic way to keep track. All the best of luck with hosting this challenge 😀 May the blogging world flourish with brand new conversations.
Alsoooo, have a fantastic and love-filled New Year <3
OKAY IM GONNA DO IT!! This is my scariest challenge but that is why they are called challenges! I ADORE reading your discussion and hopefully this will get me going on my own! Wish me luck!
Yay! Another year of awesome discussions! I’m so ready! I’m so happy for 2016, and I’m sure it’ll be an awesome year, in spite of the world going through some really nasty things.
SO excited to participate in this again Shannon! It was such a great experience and motivator last year, so I’m excited for another year of discussion! 😉 Thanks for putting this together! ♥
