March 2018 Discussion Challenge & Giveaway

Posted March 1, 2018 by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction in Book Blog Discussion Challenge, Giveaways (Ended) / 6 Comments

Welcome to the March monthly link-up for the 2018 Book Blog Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight!

Since February is a short month, it always feels like it goes by in a flash—it’s hard to believe it’s already March! The Discussion Challenge has been going strong. I hope you’ve all been visiting as many of the linked discussions as you can—if you’re not, you’re missing out.

The winner of our January discussion challenge link-up was Jessica @ a GREAT read. She won a 2018 pre-order and chose Heart of Ash by Kim Liggett! Enjoy your read, Jessica!!

If you don’t know what this challenge is all about or haven’t signed up yet (but want to), head on over to the challenge sign-up page to learn more!

Even if you’d rather not join, we hope you’ll stop by occasionally to check out the MANY discussion posts that are being linked up here – there’s lots of great discussions going on!

Featured Blogger

This month’s featured blogger (as chosen by Nicole & Random.org) is Jan @ Notes from a Readerholic. Jan is brand new to the challenge (she just joined us a couple weeks ago), but she has a category for discussion posts and I found one there that she posted before joining us! You can check it out here:

(Commenting on any of Jan’s posts will give you extra entries in the giveaway, by the way—if you already commented on them when they went up originally, that counts too!)

March is Women’s History Month here in the US. So, you can choose any book that celebrates women in some way. You can choose how. (A book about an actual woman in history would be a great choice, but it’s not a requirement!)

As always, the giveaway is open to anyone that The Book Depository ships to (or, if TBD doesn’t ship to you, you could choose an ebook!) up to $17 value.



Make sure to link up all of your March discussion posts here. This linky and the March giveaway will be open until April 7th (to give people a little extra time to link up – just in case you’re disorganized like we are). If, by some chance, you forget to link up a post this month, you can add it to next month’s linky (but no duplicates, please).

  1. Mach is here! I have a couple discussions drafted! Of course one about Women’s History Month! Thank you for hosting this challenge. Love it! Thank you for the giveaways!

  2. Awesome! I just submitted my first discussion post for the month.

    Um, I think I made a mistake on the Rafflecopter and it won’t let me edit now. So on that first question for “join the challenge” I think I put my new blog post name. But what I should have put is just my name, Tarissa, as that’s what I signed up as. Sorry! 😀
