Yayyy!! So glad you're both joining :D
@Cordelianne - Don't worry if you can't finish all of them, just read as many or as few books as you want to :)
YESSSSSSSS. I'm in the middle of going through all the 2017 releases that I missed but were on my TBR atm so this is perfect.I have a question though: How are we defining being on your TBR? Just because I'm participating in the SapphicAThon from the 14th of December and while I've already done my TBR for the challenge I'm pretty sure most of these aren't actually on my GRs TBR rn.
Either way I'm in.
Oh and do we have to start/finish each challenge on the day? Or just any book we finish in December can tick off any challenge it fits in?EDIT: I just saw the Q&A page so just ignore me :)

Glad I've finally got four down after reading so slow so far this month. I'm not putting much pressure on this challenge - starting the SapphicAThon tomorrow night and then I have a week to smash out as much as I can before my bestie lands in Aus and steals all my reading time.
I know it is late, but I will see how many I can knock off. I would like to be able to get 10 read.14/31 Final for the month

@Regsly: I love how committed you are to that series xD
Mod
xD xD I'm gonna finish the darn thing, even if it's annoying me - instead of character development, the author does character sinking -, and get that chapter of my younger years done with!
(there's only one left, go me!)
Edit: That series is now finished. Rejoice!
Mod
Thank you :)

This is just a quick idea I came up with for a December challenge.
You just copy this list, add the books you plan to read for each day's challenge to it and cross them out once you've read them.
Each challenge crossed out gives you one point. You can read as many as 31 books, or as few as 1 book.
You can read your books in any order you'd like.
It's easy like that!
Important rule:
Every book you read for this challenge has to be added to your tbr before the 14th of November 2017
Each day's challenge:
1) A book that's been on your tbr the longest
2) The first book you added to your tbr in 2017
3) The last book you added to your tbr in 2017
4) A book that has been waiting on your real-life-shelf the longest
5) Last book in a series
6) Book that starts with a D
7) Book that starts with an E
8) Book that starts with a C
9) Book that starts with an E
10) Book that starts with a M
11) Book that starts with a B
12) Book that starts with an E
13) Book that starts with a R
14) Library book that has to be handed back in soon
15) Book published in 2017
16) Book you won or got as a gift this year
17) Book by your fav author
18) Book you've heard a lot about but still haven't read
19) Book that was recommended to you this year
20) Book that's on your tbr because of its cover
21) Book that's been adapted into a movie
22) Novella (+/- 100 pages)
23) Classic you've been meaning to read forever
24) Book of poetry
25) Book with a red cover
26) Book with a green cover

28) Book on your tbr you think looks boring
29) Book in your local library that caught your eye too many times but you never picked up
30) Book with gold and/or silver on the cover
31) Free choice!
For day 6 until day 13, the words "A" "An" "The" etc. as the first word of a book title, have to be eliminated. For example: "The Book Thief" could be counted for day 11 (book title that starts with a B), cause "The" will be eliminated.
Please post your questions in the December Challenge Q&A thread!
