Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Hello everyone, as you can see, WE have been working on setting up the challenges for 2023. There will be many that have stayed the same- the "tried and true" and the ones that folks seem to like see re-occur every year. But, for those that have been at it awhile, we have thrown in some new ones as well.

1) These challenges will start on January 1. There will be no trackers this year; so if you like to keep track, you will need to do it on your computer/tablet or paper. You can also set up a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ bookshelf for each challenge and keep track of them there. I have done that for many years.

2) Be sure and go to the beginning of the thread for each challenge to get the specific instructions.

3) You do NOT have to do every challenge, in fact the pure number being offered this year makes it impossible to do all of them, remember, this is purely for fun. Choose the challenges that fit into your schedule.

4) If you would prefer not to do any, that is perfectly fine too.

5) There are several forms of books- audiobooks, ebooks and the good old bound book :)- they all "count towards your challenge.� A book is a book, there is no minimum number of pages necessary for it to count towards your challenges.

6) Crossovers are allowed meaning you can use the same books for different challenges, however you cannot use the same book twice for the same challenge. (One exception- The Alphabet Soup Challenge - a book can count twice in the challenge if you are playing more than one list).

7) You can join in the reading challenges at any time when it is a year long challenge, e.g- "the Alphabet Soup challenge", etc. The year long challenges are set up to start Jan 1- Dec 31st. So if you join in April, but already read something towards the challenge in February, it still counts.

8) If you want to change your level on a challenge (either up or down) during the year, that is definitely all right.

10) If you need help, just ask. Any of the moderators or our members are wonderful with helpful tips as well.

11) There are many of the challenges where it's really up to you and your discretion if it meets the criteria of the challenge or not. Again feel free to ask a moderator or a member if you have a question.

15) The Moderators would also respectfully ask that if you are posting a book that doesn't meet the guidelines of our group in terms of including explicit sexual scenes or profanity that you just mention it when you post the book such as - ( secular read, or profanity, "not for everyone" ,etc and please do not link it). Remember this is a Christian fiction group, so clean reads are what our members are looking for.

Good luck and Happy Reading!
