Allison (rainy-day-reads) Set up your personal challenge thread in this folder. This is your home in the group, a central place where you can keep track of your progress on the challenges that you join, or any other reading goals you've set for yourself.

Feel free to check out other members' threads for ideas and encourage each other.

Hi Linda, you actually need to set up your own thread to track your personal challenges. To do that, go to the Personal Challenges Folder and click on "New Topic" at the top right of all the other member threads. Let me know if you need more help!

I found it but it said I must first verify my email address. I have the world Tour in my notes, so all is not lost. Since we're moving and packing, This feels like the last challenge.

It can wait until you're in a better place to figure out the email address part. Good luck moving!

Kristen Dutkiewicz | 2 comments I am new to Good Reads but love the idea of setting goals for what to read!

For this year, I'm challenging myself to read at least fifty books.

Now, I'm already looking ahead, and after reading some of these posts, I'm going to set goals for 2018 on how many thriller, romance, biography, etc. specifically related to genre books I want to read.

Great ideas here!
