Happy New Years everyone!

For 2021 we have some new challenges, we have some beloved old challenges, and we have some challenges we are archiving. This thread is to tell you what's available, what is coming, and get your input on what our fall quarter challenge will be.

Year Long Challenges
Million Miles Challenge

HFU 2021

Around the World

The Around the World challenge will be carried over from last year. Also, please note we are continuing HFU but did not make any changes from last year.

Quarterly Challenges
Winter Centuries Challenge

Spring Bingo Challenge-Will run from March-May

Summer TBR Challenge- Will run from June- August

Fall Challenge ?- We have not decided on our fall quarterly challenge and would love your input on what you want to do for the fall.

We hope you'll join us in some of these challenges and as always, happy reading!

I’m not sure what you mean you say that the Around the World Challenge is being carried over. Does that mean those who didn’t finish it can continue on in 2021 or that those of us who finished can set up a new challenge for 2021 with new countries?

Whatever you want to do with it. If you want to continue, continue. If you want to start over, start over. The thread isn't going anywhere.

Either or. Basically we are keeping the folder open, but not changing anything for that challenge.

Thanks Gretchen and Jasmine for clarifying that. I appreciate it.

A little late with the suggestion for the Fall Challenge, but how about the A-Z Challenge again? Easy enough to keep track of and just about the right amount of books.

Or a variation on one that Jolene did a while back. The challenge was to pick a country and then spell out the country name with book titles (any genre). Example - Ghana.
G - Gentleman in Moscow
H - Homegoing
A - And Then There Were None
N - Nottingham
A - Alaska

The variation I was thinking of was that you had to spell the country name of the setting of your first book read during the challenge period (September - December?).
So, if your first book is The Gown, you would spell England (in any order)

Example -
The Gown
E - Everyone Brave is Forgiven
N- No Country for Old Men
G - The Gown
L - Love and Death Among the Cheetahs
A - And Then There Were None
N - Nottingham
D - Death in Provence

If you wanted to continue, your next country would be the setting of your last book in the word England. Say the last book read that completed "ENGLAND" was Death in Provence, you would then spell France.

Better late than never. I've been playing with the idea of "Fallen" kingdoms for the fall, but haven't solidified it yet. It would be a completion challenge. I'm trying to go back and forth between point challenges and completion challenges.
