Character Assassination Carousel: 
How We Operate

Blogger friends of Ninja Mom will be part of an elite killing force, a group of wordsmiths whose wits and typing fingers are set to kill. Jason Bourne has nothing on us. Here's how we operate:

  • Each month a blogger will post a piece on his or her blog that blasts some kiddie lit to kingdom come. I'll set up a permanent link to that piece here on Ninja Mom Blog, right on this very page, confirming that the assassination was successful.
  • Look for each highly trained shredder of childhood pulp to tag the next blogger who will be armed  and ready to rip apart an unsuspecting tome. And that blogger tags another, who tags another, who tags another, until each kid's book that ever irked a parent has been targeted. 
Are you a blogger who wants in on the carousel? Email me at NicoleLeighShaw [at] gmail [dot] com. Tickets to ride are available through me. I'll be hosting a prearranged list of participating bloggers who will also be promoted here on Ninja Mom Blog so that we can avoid repeat assassinations and give each member of our elimination force a chance in the spotlight.

You're encouraged to write your own assassination story without waiting in line; email me and I'll verify the kill and add you to the Past Assassin's list. But you won't get promoted by the bloggers waiting in the tag team queue. You can copy the button below to add to your post, just please link back here to this page. If you want to add the Character Assassination Carousel button to your blog side bar, you can grab that from my side bar, on the left.

If you have a children's book title that you'd like to see eliminated, email me. If I don't write a post about why your suggested book is worthy of assassination, one of our other black ops bloggers might.
