Join the 2023 Library Love Challenge
Welcome back to the seventh annual Library Love Challenge hosted by Angel’s Guilty Pleasures & Books of My Heart.
We hope you will join us in celebrating and supporting libraries.
If you are like us; then you would like to purchase every book you want to read. And, well that can put a hurt on your wallet. One way to help lessen the hurt is to check out books (prints, ebooks, or audios) from the library. If you do this, it will help save you LOTS of money $$.
Getting a library card in most places is FREE. So, if you love to read and/or listen to books then grab your library card and join the challenge.

Love this
Glad to have you join. ^_^
Sounds like a fun challenge! Thanks for hosting it. I used to work at a library, so it’s great seeing people spread library love.
We try to support our libraries however we can. Thanks for checking out the challenge.
I love this challenge! Last year I ended up reading SEVENTY-TWO BOOKS from the library and I was shocked when I did my count recently. Thanks y’all! 😀
WOW!! You did great on the 2022 Challenge. We’re glad to have you joining again this year. Happy Reading!
I just signed up for 2023. Let´s see if I can regain my love for the library this year *smile* Do you want me to put my goal also into the GR Library Love forum, or is it enough when I set a direct link to each of my reviews published on my blog into the linky?
Wishing you and your loved ones all the best for 2023.
Best wishes
Vi
You can set up your page anyway you like and share your goal and/or reviews. We like to hear and see what everyone is enjoying from their libraries. We’re glad you are joining use again for 2023. Happy Reading!
Hello Nora,
I wanted to check in and see if you are still having trouble linking your sign-up to the challenge. If you would like I can link it up for you just email me at (tiger lilly_liz at hotmail dot com).
My website is not https which is the secure version of HTTP and a paid for service, so you may get the privacy error message. Just click on the Advanced and then click on the link that comes up to get to my site. It’s not something I can fix unless I want to pay for the s added onto http. I hope this helps.
When I try to go to the link to list books, I get a privacy error on my computer. Is there anything that can be done about this. I know last year, when I posted, the address line displayed a Not Secure message.
Hi Lynn,
The site has been updated with https now. https://angelsguiltypleasures.com/2022/12/sign-up-2023-library-love-challenge/
Hopefully you can get to the pages. Should you continue to have issues and can’t sign-up please email me your link (tiger lilly_liz at hotmail dot com) and I’ll be happy to add you to the linky.
It’s the “Mister Linky’s Magical Widgets” on this Sign Up post that you link to. If you are having trouble you can comment or email me your link and I’ll be happy to add you to the linky for the challenge.
I have no idea what Linky is so I can’t sign up.
So excited to start this challenge.
We’re so glad to have you. Good luck on your goal for 2023 and thanks for joining.
I’m excited for this challenge!
We’re glad to have you join. Happy Library Love Reading!
Ooh, this looks like a fun challenge — I’m definitely in!
We’re glad to have you join. Happy Reading!
You gals are the best for hosting each year and making it fun. I’m in!
