With the new year beginning, I've taken the time to reflect more on what I want to accomplish as a reader and a blogger. After my good friend Lisa mentioned on her blog about wanting to focus more on older book titles, it got me thinking I want to do more of the same. As a reviewer I tend to get caught up in all the shiny new book releases, which results in a mile-high-pile of books that keep accumulating over time. So with this new feature, and the help of Lisa, we've come together to create REWIND & REVIEW.
At the beginning of each month we will set aside a few "older" books to be read & reviewed on our blogs. I encourage all of you to join in and do the same each month. There's just a few easy-peasy guidelines/objectives to follow:
- The book(s) needs to be published in 2010 or earlier.
- Set a goal for the month on how many books you'd like to read & use the feature title "Rewind & Review" in your reviews.
- If you use the graphic, please provide credit back to mine or Lisa's blog.
- Use this opportunity to have fun reading some long lost loves!
I want this feature to be laid back & fun. No link-ups will be provided, and we won't punish you if you don't fulfill your reading goals for the month. Being organized about my reading titles helps me & I hope it will do the same for you. After all, older books need love too!
This new feature will officially kick off on February 1st with a post of the older books I plan to read for the month. I hope you all will join in with us!

I LOVE this idea! I will most definitely be joining you guys :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a blogger but an avid reader. I think this is a great idea. It'll maybe make people use their libraries more too. =) x
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely be joining this. Recently, I've started reading books that were published long time ago, mostly are children's books like Matilda.
ReplyDeleteI share Laura's hopes that this will boost the libraries! YAY LIBRARIES!
ReplyDeleteAnd also YAY for partnering with YOUUUUUU. Mwah!
Ginger, I really like this idea. It's also going to be grrrreat for my wallet. Count me (and E, too!) in to participate... :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I totally love it! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm always late on new releases, so my book reviews tend to be old anyway. :D
Great new feature Ginger! I often times read older titles and very rarely read new ones!!
ReplyDeletexo,
La Toya (La Toya, Literally.)
This is a great idea!! I am going to try to join in!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is an awesome idea.
ReplyDelete:D Best of luck doing this!!!
Like I mentioned on Lisa's post, It's definitely something I wanted to do this year, so count me in! Great idea! :)
ReplyDeleteOh! This looks fun! I have a BOOKSHELF of older books....
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I will definitely be doing this!
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! I hope I can participate a little.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking the same thing, I love reading and reviewing new titles but I've started to feel that my blog is posting the same stuff as others sometimes. And I have so many older books I just love and want to share :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great idea. I have more than enough "older" books sitting on my shelves waiting for the day I'll get around to them. I will have to do something about that...
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. My friend Suz is doing something similar to this. Guess great minds think alike!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab idea. I will check the publication date on my titles and link thanks
ReplyDeleteAhhh you beat me to the punch lol I thought doing a meme similar to this, but haven't had the time lately. But kudos for the title and I'll probably join in later this year :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Count me in!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea and I'm currently putting together my April edition right now :) A linky would be an awesome idea, if you're wanting to make this a whole lot more popular.
