We’re back! This past summer FLYLēF and A Kernel of Nonsense hosted the Comment Challenge, pairing book bloggers together and encouraging them to comment on each other’s blogs. Because of all the positive feedback, we’ve decided to bring back this challenge for this winter. We hope you join us and challenge yourself to spread some comment love while making some meaningful connections with other book bloggers.

  1. Lovely post, Alicia! It amazes me how the culmination of weeks of planning, drafts of writing, iterations of designs, and so much more, come together so neatly in one post. Great work co-host! I wouldn’t have wanted to do this with anyone else.

  2. I am so excited to join! I will be on vacation for a bit, but will comment before and after! Even during if I have internet…

    Just one small question, in the sign up post where we post about our intention, it says to write about our partner, what if we haven’t gotten one yet?

    1. Sounds great! Just let your partner know, so they don’t think you went MIA. We’ll be announcing partners (through a post and email) on the 29th. It’s totally up to you if you want to wait and include who your partner is, if not, don’t even worry about it. I hope you enjoy the challenge and your vacation!

      1. Thanks! That is super helpful 🙂 My post should go live on the 28th so I will just say something general. I included the post with two other announcements I also had to make, so I hope that is okay!

        MERRY HOLIDAY DAY! 🙂
