MobileRead Book Challenges discussion

I decided to make my own challenge, it's made up from bits of other challenges I've seen. It ended up having a lot of parts, but each book will be able to count for several at once.

A lot of it will be books I would read anyways, so it's pretty much just a way for me to "reward" myself by being able to cross them off the list :D

As there are so many points to the challenge I made a separate thread for it...

Works for me! I wish you much reading mojo in the coming year!

Thank you! You too :D

Goodness! That's some list. I absolutely get where you are coming from with the "I love crossing things out" bit, so it looks like this will be a lot of fun.

WOW

LOL, I know.... It's a bit much :P
My goal isn't necessarily to complete it, just to have fun.

I would certainly have to count each book in more than one category, but it looks good.

Yes, me too, I would never manage to read that many books!
Thanks :D

DP, do you mind if I link to this challenge for a thread I'd like to start on category possibilities?

Please & Thank you.

One book, nine categories! Crossing that lot off in one fell swoop must have been fun :)

It was actually :D
I don't expect it will be that easy with all of them though

You are really motoring! GR says I'm 2 books behind schedule already... :(

It's mostly because it's new year and new challenges. It normally goes downhill quite quickly.
Also I got asked to do 2 different buddy reads at the same time, so had to read.... LOL :)

^That's my usual pattern. Read a ton by the end of March and then coast. I'm going to have to pick up the pace a lot if I'm going to coast anytime this year.

Finished The Dispatcher - 31/111

Finished Ashley Bell - 37/111
