The 2020 Book Blog Discussion Challenge Sign-Up is now live!
Welcome to the 2019 Book Blog Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight! This challenge has been SO successful these last four years that we decided to bring it back!
So often, we book bloggers mean to post more discussions on our blogs, but we just don’t quite get around to it. Well, we wanted to give everyone a little motivation to keep the discussions going, plus give us a place to link up our discussions so that more people will see our precious words of wisdom (or … you know … our GIF-filled rants).
I hope you’ll join us for this challenge and pledge yourself to posting more discussions in this upcoming year. I promise we’ll have lots of fun talking together! We’ve found that the Discussion Challenge is its own little community
Here’s All You Have to Do:
- Create a sign-up post announcing your intention to participate and link up below. There’s no need to say what your discussion posts will be about–just tell us you’re joining and let us know your goal. (Can be in an update post or a post with other challenges–you’re not required to make a completely separate sign-up post.)
- Please link back to both challenge hosts and include the challenge button in your sign-up posts.
- The challenge runs from January 1st until December 31st, 2019. Sign-ups will remain open through December 31st, 2019. (So, you can sign up all year long! Come join us!)
- Share it! The more people we get to participate in this, the more awesome discussions we can all be a part of and the more fun it will be! So, invite your friends to join us!
- Discussions can be about whatever you want as long as it’s relevant to books or book blogging (no discussions about things that are completely off-topic like travel or fashion, etc). They can also be about you personally if it’s a get-to-know-you type post.
- On the 1st of every month, a link-up will go up on both Feed Your Fiction Addiction and It Starts at Midnight where you’ll leave your links for that month’s discussions. Every month, we’ll update this 2019 Book Blog Challenge Page with the links to that month’s Challenge linky–so you’ll always know where to find the latest link-up!
- There will also be monthly giveaways, so make sure you check in!
- Every month, we’ll feature our favorite posts from one challenge participant. There will be extra options in the Rafflecopter for commenting on posts by our featured blogger.
- Use the hashtag #LetsDiscuss2019 to share your progress and connect with other participants on Twitter.
- Have questions? Feel free to ask in the comments!

I will hope to be dabbling in discussions next year!
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Yay! Definitely join us for the challenge and link them up!
Kathleen Bailey
Yay so excited since I joined the 2018 one very late. Hoping to be inspired next year with lots of ideas.
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
So glad you’re joining us again!!
Andreea
I am tempted by this because I AM one of those bloggers always meaning to post more discussion posts!
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Join us! The worst thing that happens is you don’t quite make your goal, but you’ve still been inspired to write a few extra discussions. 🙂
Jen Ryland
Yay for discussion posts! Going to tweet this to help encourage more of them.
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Sophia @ Bookwyrming Thoughts
Ooooooo, I may consider joining this since I have a lot of time on my hands. 🤔 I’ll make my decision during break when finals aren’t screaming.
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Yes, join us!!
LuAnn Braley
Yeah, I know I had an epic fail on this challenge last year, but I’ve already picked questions for each month, so I’m hoping that will help me this year.
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
I failed my own challenge, so… It’s still worth it to motivate us to discuss more AND to have a central place to read tons of great discussions!
Lisa Mandina (Lisa Loves Literature)
Debating on joining again, I don’t think I made my goal this year. I had lots of ideas for discussions but just didn’t get them done. Maybe if I cut down on so many tours next year I can make it happen.
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Join us! I didn’t make my goal either, but it’s still worth it to share the discussions you manage to get up and to motivate you to maybe get up one or two more. 🙂
Aj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks for hosting this challenge! I signed up. Now I just need to come up with discussion ideas. I never have any. 🙁
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Sometimes I feel like that too. I think posts like your ‘things you want to read about’ would count!
FHC
Aiming for at least Chatty Kathy in 2019 … Thanks for continuing and hosting!
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
So glad you’re going to be joining us again!!
Lindsi
I’m definitely doing this in 2019! I posted a few discussion posts this year, and I really enjoyed seeing people’s responses. We’re all so different, so we obviously have different perspectives on the same topic. It’s great! I really want to do it more often, and I think this challenge is perfect. I cannot wait to participate!

I’ve joined the right one this time! :’)
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Yay! Glad to have you!
Tarissa
Awesome! I just finished signing up. Thanks for hosting again!
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Yay! So glad you’re joining us again!
Jane
I didn’t do so well with this last year. :/ I really struggled with blog posts in general. Thus, I’m going for “Creative Conversationalist” again, because that would challenge me to come up with at least one topic per month. 😀
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Sometimes it’s a struggle to blog and sometimes the creativity flows. I think one discussion a month is great to aim for.
Gayathri
I love this idea and this is my second year doing this challenge. I finally made the sign up post and added the link. I am looking forward to participate in your link ups!
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
So glad you’re joining us again!
Alys
I’ll be entering this again maybe around March, and hopefully, I am done fixing my blog by then! I missed doing this challenge! 🙂 – Book Huntress
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
I’m glad you’ll be back!
Ara @ Open Pages
Ahhh, okay so I’m signing up, and I’m hoping that my posts are considered discussion posts? They’re going to be a lot of lists, for sure though…
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Lists are totally fine, as long as there’s SOME substance to them. I don’t even mind when people link up Top Ten Tuesday posts if they mention why each book is on their list. (If it’s JUST a picture of ten covers or a list of ten titles with no further description, that’s pushing it). Honestly, we’re pretty relaxed about what’s able to be included in the challenge because we want to include as many people as possible!
Erica @ The Literary Apothecary
I finally decided to join! Looking forward to reading all the discussions and writing a few myself
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Yay! I’m so glad you’re joining us!!
