All Challenges All The Time discussion

A huge thanks to Gisbelle from the group Crazy For Young Adult Books for allowing us to use their challenge as inspiration and some of their challenge tasks as well.

Many of us have played the game truth or dare as a kid/teen. Its fun, embarrassing and daring. This challenge focuses mostly on the dare part. There are a number of tasks that you are dared to complete. You can do as much or as little of the challenge as you like. So come on and play. I dare you.

Nice!

Joanne: I have a question. For the shared birth month/date category, I would really like to read a book by a dear friend of mine who shares my exact date--she's a professor here where I work--but the book I want to read is co-authored. May I count it for the birth date one instead of the co-author category?

I just want to make sure you mean reviews and not ratings. I haven't spottet a book yet with more than 10,000 reviews yet.

Hi Anita - saw your question, and thought I'd let you know that some of the classics have more than 10,000 reviews. I just read Lord of the Flies which has just over 18,000 reviews so there are a few out there. Hope that helps!

Ok great. Didn't think to look for that when I read Pride and Prejudice the other week.

Joanne, I followed your directions but I can't find the Movers and Shakers list. Can you please provide a link?

hmm I cant find it either. Maybe they moved it or changed the name. Let me look some more and I'll get back to you

I found it stephanie. They changed the name to "Best Book of the month". I'll post the link here just to let you know the directions to find this list are the same. :D

Best Books of the Month - De..."

Thanks!

This challenge looks great, and with the amount of books I read, it looks like it's right up my alley. I suspect that for quite a while, I should be able to check one book off this list with each new book I read in 2015. I will absolutely be trying to complete as many as possible over the course of the year.

I only need 12 more to meet my "read 70" goal!

I have now completed my "read 70" (71, actually) goal! Thanks for the great challenge. I may sneak in a few more on the list--but my challenge is officially complete.

Link to my Blog Post wrapping up my commitment.

congrats Bev
