Challenge Yourself discussion

What are your goals for 2023.

Well, I may as well set my goals. They may change but for now this is what I think I'll shoot for:

Edingus : 10
Hot off the Press : 15
Serial Eyes : 20
Yearbook 2022 : 15
Doorstoppers : 5
Print Library Books: 8 (books borrowed from the Lake Travis Community Library or through the Texas Group Catalog)
Home Alone: 3
Shelving Unit: 7 (Kindle Owned books)

I may add more or make adjustments, but this will keep me on track for now, I hope.

Here are the Challenges that I have signed up for. I am hoping many of them over-lap!

10 Boxall
30 Double Dog Dare (monthly group reads/challenges and reading marathons)
15 Serial Eyes
25 Book to Movie (Flick-Lit)
25 World Tour (In a Land Far Far Away)
10 Shelving Unit (Sai King Recommends)
10 Shortcut
20 Doorstops
10 Awards
25 Reality Check
10 Reviews
5 Authorization (Donald E. Westlake)

All my goals are very similar to last year. I am adding Authorization to re-read and catchup on several Brandon Sanderson series.

⚾ Authorization
(books by Brandon Sanderson) = 16

⚾ Back in the Saddle
(re-reads longer than picture books) = 21

⚾ Serial Eyes
(anything in a series except the first book, also excluding re-reads) = 28

⚾ Home Alone
(books acquired in 2022) = 34

⚾ Left Over Stew
(books owned for longer than a year) = 8

⚾ Short Cut
(previously unread picture books) = 212

I never achieve it either, but I keep trying!

I've noticed that the combined reporting of all of our goals combined seems to be broken. Honestly I don't think Goodreads is concerned with the support of challenges anymore. (Did they ever get out of BETA?)

It does seem though that our individual challenges are being calculated correctly.
