So these are ones I make up myself, or are there challenges here on the site?

That is a dangerous question. I'm on a phone. Someone else point to Dazrin's spreadsheet and the 2019 thread?

This is the post that has the spreadsheet link. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

There's more info on that if you read back through the rest of the linked discussion.

Edited to add: It's an amazing spreadsheet. I won't be participating in that (I don't think anyway) but that thing is a work of art.

It's all up to you really! You can add the group one, or just make some up, or if you're doing any from other groups you can use this thread to keep track of those too :)

It's completely up to you, if all you want to do is read x amount of books, that's perfectly fine!
If you have a look at our personal threads you'll see we are all doing different things really :D

Thanks that Bingo sheet looks awesome... Sadly I use a tablet, and the spreadsheet keeps crashing on me😢. He really put some work in that one!

You know the great thing is you can do just one small Bingo card if you want.

:P

Oooh! I love your Birth of a Reader challenge, Abbie! :)

Oh yea, thats a really great idea! I'll try to remember that for future years :D

Thanks! Now its fingers crossed to find something from each year. The 80s might be hard, but I am sure I can dig in and find something!

I did the year challenge the one year and it was difficult in a couple of places. The eighties aren't that bad though. Lots of good stuff to pick and choose.

Is there a way to sort books by publication date on GR?

If they are on a Shelf yes! My TBR shelf is all books I own, but havent read. There is a settings button for your shelves, and you can add a handful of things. Publication date is one of them.

Oh I didn't know that! That could make it a lot easier for sure! :D

Yep. Settings. It is your friend.

There are actually alot of features on the Books tab!
