Andrea Cox (andreacox) Welcome! Here's a month-long challenge that will help us clear off some bookshelves or thin out some stacks.

Here's how it came about:
This idea was borne out of all of us moderators chatting one day during National Novel Writing Month 2018 and bemoaning how little reading we were getting done. We made a pact with each other to do all that catching up on our reading stacks the following January. Well, after chatting a bit more, we decided to invite others to join in with us! And then we thought of including a giveaway.

Since ReMo went over so well last year with over 20 participants in our inaugural season (over 40 people joined the group that first year), we've decided to host the Read More Challenge again this year. It will take place in February 2020, so please help us spread the word to all your reader friends who might want to join in.

The prize packs will only be sent to winners within the United States this year, due to monetary constraints. We love our international reader friends and hope you'll still join in on the reading fun to help clear out some of your ever-growing TBR (to-be-read) piles.

Here's how it works:
Anyone can join in. You're welcome to set your own goals and participate on the threads. State your goal on the Set Goals thread and tell us how many books you want to read in February 2020.

The prize:
There will be three (3) prize packs this year. The grand prize will include three books, and the other two prize packs will include two books.

For anyone (with a U.S. mailing address) who reaches their goal, there is an entry in the giveaway!

Minimum goal to enter the drawing is five (5) books or 1000 pages. For the purposes of the drawing, a "book" is defined as 150 pages or longer. Once you are done, post a link to your shelf for it to be counted.

The drawing will take place on March 2, 2020. Winners will be notified on that day as well. They will have 24 hours each from time of the message being sent to them to claim their prize. If they do not contact the moderator who messages them within that time, they forfeit their prize. In that case, a new winner will be selected. The same 24-hour rule applies to the new winner(s).

Andrea Cox (andreacox) We've added a few pictures to the group. Please feel free to share these anytime between now and the end of this year's ReMo challenge.

Simply, right-click on the picture you want to share. Save it to your computer or phone. Then, share it to your favorite social media site.

Let's get excited about ReMo, y'all! Excitement is catching, and we want all our friends to catch the ReMo reading bug, now don't we? ;)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) Thanks, Melanie! It will be fun to have you join in, if you're able to.

Andrea Cox (andreacox) There's an update to the mailing times of the prize packs. My plans this month have already not gone as scheduled, so I don't yet have all the books in hand. I should have them sometime in spring. Will keep you posted.

Andrea Cox (andreacox) This is the final day of ReMo 2020.

Be sure to get all your books finished up before midnight tonight, but you have all day tomorrow to post your final books to your specific ReMo shelf. The books must have a February read date, but they may be posted to the shelf on March 1.

Happy final day of ReMo 2020!
