The Summer 2018 Comment Challenge is about to begin! This annual challenge is hosted by Lonna @ FLYLēF and Alicia @ A Kernel of Nonsense and runs June through August. For those not familiar, the Comment Challenge is designed to help bloggers connect with one another and hopefully form some meaningful friendships. Each month, your hosts pair you with another book blogger and you’re encouraged to comment on each other’s blogs all month long. Details for this challenge are below. We welcome both past participants and new ones to join us for this fun summer challenge!
- The Summer 2018 Comment Challenge takes place June through August
- You are welcome to sign-up for one month or all three
- Your hosts will post the official partners list a few days before the start of each month of the challenge
- For the time-being, the challenge is limited to English-only blogs
- Options for comments include 5+ and 10+ per month
- We’d love for you to create a sign-up post or include a shoutout in your monthly/weekly wrap-ups to help us spread the word
- At the beginning of the month we will put together a post (that’s this one) where you can sign-up and link-up with your own sign-up post
- Sign-up now: You can sign-up to participate in this challenge for June starting today. The final day to signup for June will be May 26th.
- Create a sign-up post: Link-up each month with a sign-up post or simply mention the challenge in a wrap-up post to your readers. A few suggestions:
- Announce which month you will be participating in this challenge
- Link-back to both of your hosts: Lonna @ FLYLēF and Alicia @ A Kernel of Nonsense
- Include the Comment Challenge graphic
- Let us know how often you will be commenting on your partner’s blog and if you know who your partner is, give them a shout-out
- Tell us why you will be participating in this challenge and if you’ve done so in the past
- Spread the Word: Help us let other bloggers know abut this challenge. Using the hashtag #Summer18CC let your fellow bloggers know you’ll be participating this summer
- Comment: Starting June 1st, visit your partner’s blog and comment away!

Hi! This sounds super fun. I’d love to participate, but my blog isn’t exactly a book blog; I talk mostly about classics and kid lit and how they relate to other things. Do you think my blog would work OK with this challenge? If so, what boxes should I check for what kinds of books I blog about? Should I maybe check the boxes that apply to blogs I’d be most interested in, rather than those that reflect my blog? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for hosting this amazing challenge 🙂 -MoMo

Thank you so much for your interest. I want to talk more about whether your blog would be a good fit or if we can work something out. So go ahead and sign up (include which books you talk about because that’s how we pair you) and I will email you to talk further.
