2007 Keep Them Moving Release Challenge by guinaveve


2007 Keep Them Moving Release Challenge by guinaveve (signed up 11/20/06)


I have been asked to continue this challenge into 2007. If you would like to participate, please post here. I am not going to compile a list of participants. Your post here will indicate you are participating instead.
Here is the link to the 2006 Keep Them Moving Challenge if you are wondering what it is.

Here is a quick run down of what this challenge is about-
This challenge is to read and move on books that you have received from other bookcrossers. The rules:
1. Any book that another BCer registered and that you obtain counts toward the challenge (rings, rays, boxes, wild releases, trades, relays, audio, etc,). As long as you are passing on a book from another BCer, it can count. You can not register the book yourself and count it.
2. You have to read the entire book before releasing it. Other challenges exist to just release books. This isn't about moving on masses of unread books, thus the "read first" rule.
3. You can release it any way you choose.
4. It doesn't matter when you received the book, but it does have to be read/released in 2007.
5. If you know how, put a link to the book you release in a thread I will set up for that purpose. It is good to number your releases as you post them so that we all get an idea of how many are being moved on. If you don't know how to put a link, you can just put the title.
6. If you participated in 2006, please restart the count back to one release in 2007. There is an explanation for why here:

Also, I will start a new thread for this each month in 2007. I was not anticipating the wonderful response I got to this thread in 2006 and I know the thread got too unwieldy for some to open at one point. Hopefully a new thread each month will keep that under control.

You can post any other questions here. I will start a new thread for posting your entries to the challenge as we approach the new year.
I will have some sort of prizes, not sure what. The prizes are awarded randomly and not based on number released.
