Top 10 of 2011

Hello and welcome to........

Top 10: A Week of Looking Back....

                                .........and Looking Forward.

Last year Jessica from Confessions of a Bookaholic and Lisa from A Life Bound By Books posted some Top 10 lists the last week of 2010. For five days they recapped some of their favorite books, covers and characters. They also listed some books they were looking forward to in 2011. This year they thought they'd do it again... just with a twist. They  invited some friends (us) to help co-host things and make an event out of it! Rachel from Fiktshun, us here at Two Chicks on Books, Jessica, and Lisa  have all come together to work on making this into something we hope more people will want to join in on and contribute. You're probably wondering what the topics of this years Top 10 lists will be and the dates, right? Well we have all that info for you here....

Monday 12/26 – Top 10 Books I’ve read in 2011



Tuesday 12/27 – Top 10 Book Covers of 2011



Wednesday 12/28 – Top 10 Book Boyfriends in 2011



Thursday 12/29 – Top 10 Characters in 2011 (This can be anything you'd like to make it for characters. You can post your favorite Villains, etc. Just be sure that this post is character based.)



Friday 12/30 – Top 10 Books I’m looking forward to in 2012 (also on this day, we'll each be adding something of a recap of the total number of books read, pages read, etc. This part of the post is optional. Feel free to add any stats you'd like to share with everyone. So, if you'd like to also include some end of year stats, feel free to join us!)

How you do these posts/lists is totally up to you. What books, covers and characters you pick are all your own.

The only rules to follow are posting the topics on the dates we've provided.

Now, we know what you're all thinking. That this will be hard to keep to 10. Some of you might like to break the lists up a bit. Working with a Top 10 for YA books and then a Top 10 for Adult titles. Feel free to add honorable mentions if you're also having a hard time sticking to 10. However, with the honorable mentions, please try to keep it to a minimum or it kind of defeats the whole purpose of things.



Our main focus of this event is for YOU to join in and share your lists with us all and for everyone to visit each others blogs and see what books have made it on THEIR lists!



The event is simple. Follow the dates and list topics as provided and fill out the linky below. This gives us an idea who will be joining us for the Top 10 week. THEN, be sure to come back to one of our blogs on each of those days and link up your post for that specific day! Just remember, each day will have a linky for THAT Top 10 topic.



At the end of the event we will be picking a winner using Random.org from the people who have posted their lists and added their info to linky for each day. Total number of maximum entries is 6. Telling us you are joining in on the event in today's linky is your first entry. Posting your top 10 each day with the correct topic on the correct day, THEN coming back to add your link to the linky for that day gives you another entry. Additional Giveaway details will be provided soon, so keep checking back to find out what we'll be giving away!
