It's officially Utah Book Month!!
This has been so long in the making, and I am excited it's finally here. In summary, UBM is basically a celebration hosted by me, Suey, Jessica, Enna, and Emily, for books written by Utah authors. I'll be reading and reviewing said books this month, and will also be interviewing other bloggers, posting a challenge, hosting a giveaway, etc.. There are many activities planned for the month, so head on over to the official Utah Books blog to check them all out and join in!For my part, I get to start things off with a little challenge for YOU. Completion of this challenge will earn you an extra entry for our Grand Giveaway of awesomeness! There will be many more mini-challenges throughout the month, so check out the challenge schedule to see where you can find more fun.
Ready for the challenge?
Your mission--should you choose to accept--is to take a picture of any book written by a Utah author, out in the wild outdoors. Show us where these books have traveled!
- For a list of Utah authors and their books, click here.
- Chances are high that you have a copy of at least one book! If not, borrow a copy from your library!
- Once you have the photo, post it on your blog, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, or anywhere else where we can see that you've completed the challenge.
- Leave a link to the photo in the comments here so I can see them, then head on over to the Grand Giveaway, and get your extra entry!
Welcome to Utah Book Month! I can't wait to see where these books have traveled.

ReplyDeleteUgh! I thought about this all month and never came up with a brilliant idea and then never executed any of my mediocre ideas. :) Love this challenge though.
