March - Wish Upon a Star
How to Participate:
1. Post here telling the challenge leader that you'd like to join the challenge. You can choose your books for the challenge at the beginning, or add them as you go. You can join a challenge at any time, as long as the challenge is still active. You must choose a goal for the challenge.
2. Whenever you finish a book for the challenge, post here and let the challenge leader know so they can update your progress. Please be sure to post the number of stars you have completed and the number of your original message every time you post an update.
The challenge leader is not able to keep track of your total number of stars for you because of the number of participants in the challenge. The number of the original post is used to identify you, as there can be many members with the same name. The challenge leader will not look at this post to track your progress.
Example:
message 32 updated! 2/25 stars read!
For more information about how challenges work, check out this thread or ask your challenge leader.
P.S. Please do not delete posts! It makes updating very confusing for the challenge leader! If you decide to leave the challenge, please just let us know. You can edit your original post to say {redacted}. Thank you!
Thanks for joining and have fun chasing those stars!

2022 Reading ChallengeMarch - Wish Upon a Star
Duration: March 1 - March 31, 2022
Progress: 61 out of 50
In connection with March's theme of Happiness, this challenge encourages you to read books you believe will make you happy. Instead of the usual goal of tracking books read, however, you will be counting the stars from your rating for books you finish in March.
Reread a favorite book, catch up on a favorite author or series, or read any other book(s) that you think might rack up those high stars.
To join this challenge, post a comment to let the challenge leader your target number of stars. A good rule of thumb might be to decide on how many books you hope to read, then multiply that by 3 or 4 stars, depending on your personal rating system for books.
Miscalculated your goal? No problem. Just ask your challenge leader to raise or lower it, as needed.
Let's reach for the stars together!
This challenge was created by Amy (Other Amy), who will be leading it. Thanks twice, Amy

In connection with March's theme of Happiness, this challenge encourages you to read books you believe will make you happy. Instead of the usual goal of tracking books read, however, you will be counting the stars from your rating for books you finish in March.
Reread a favorite book, catch up on a favorite author or series, or read any other book(s) that you think might rack up those high stars.
To join this challenge, post a comment to let the challenge leader your target number of stars. A good rule of thumb might be to decide on how many books you hope to read, then multiply that by 3 or 4 stars, depending on your personal rating system for books.
Miscalculated your goal? No problem. Just ask your challenge leader to raise or lower it, as needed.
Let's reach for the stars together!
This challenge was created by Amy (Other Amy), who will be leading it. Thanks twice, Amy!
