Blogger's Challenge 2012!!!!

So, I've scoped out a handful of blogs today, one of my favorites being Book Passion for Life, which happens to have a challenge for bloggers in the coming year that includes monthly giveaways in addition to a big final giveaway next December! The 2012 TBR PILE Reading Challenge. Here's the guidelines, Hosts, and level info.

Guidelines:
1. The Challenge runs from Jan 1st to Dec 31st.
2. The Challenge is ONLY open to bloggers.
3. There is no limit on length or genre of the books reviewed, but the book MUST be published in 2011 or earlier. NO newly released books.
4. Books you intend to review can be listed in advance or in wrap-up, and if you listed beforhand, feel free to make changes. No need to set a list in stone.
5. When you sign up, put a link from your post to the challenge. Since I don't know where else to find a link-up and don't know how to make my own, I recommend http://bookpassionforlife.blogspot.com/2011/11/2012-tbr-pile-reading-challenge.html
6. One can go up levels once you've joined, but not down.
7. Sign-up is open until Dec 15th.
8. At the end of each month, there's a wrap-up by one of the hosts of the Challenge, which is themed, has a mini-challenge, a giveaway, and a spot to link of your reviews of the month. Each review is an entry in the final giveaway, as is each mini-challenge you participate in.
9. If you miss a wrap-up, you can link up the next month. Keep in mind, only one link-up for each review.
10. In December, the wrap-up is for the entire year. The entries from the entire year will be entered in the final, the big giveaway. 12 winners rather than one in December.
11. Following the hosts isn't necessary for the challenge, but it is for the giveaways.

Levels:
A Firm Handshake: 1-10
A Friendly Hug:11-20
A Sweet Kiss: 21-30
Love at First Sight: 31-40
