December 2017 Discussion Challenge Link Up & Giveaway ⋆ It Starts at Midnight

Welcome to the December monthly link-up for the 2017 Book Blog Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight!

Well, consider me shocked, we’ve nearly made it through 2017. I don’t know how, but I mean, we’ll take it! Also means it’s almost time for the 2018 sign ups, can you believe it? Be on the lookout for that happening soon! And thanks to every one of you for joining us in 2017!! 😀

The winner of our October discussion challenge link-up was Jennilyn @ Rurouni Jenni Reads. She won a “scary book”, and chose The Suffering by Rin Chupeco! Hope you love it!

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!

We’re no longer giving discussion ideas each month (because not that many people seemed to need them), BUT you can check out our list of the topics we’ve suggested over the past two years if you need some inspiration. There are LOTS of ideas there, and I’m sure you’ll find one you love!

Looking for even 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!

Featured Blogger(s!)

This month’s featured blogger (as chosen by Shannon & Random.org) is Carrie @ Cat on a Bookshelf! Here are some great discussions from Carrie:

She discusses whether “constructive criticism” should be a part of book reviews
She also asks how the best way to review two(or more!)-in-one books

(Commenting on these will give you extra entries in the giveaway, by the way—if you already commented on them when they went up originally, that counts too!)

It’s holiday season for some, the end of the year for pretty much all of us, so I figured I’d just go ahead and grant the winner a bookish wish! You can choose any book from your wishlist, any book your heart desires, to celebrate another awesome year of discussing stuff!

As always, the giveaway is open to anyone that The Book Depository ships to (or, if TBD doesn’t ship to you, you could choose an ebook!) up to $17 value.

Make sure to link up all of your December discussion posts here. This linky and the December giveaway will be open until January 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).
