Read a book that is on your Captain's "to read" shelf with the highest GR star rating"
You could use the group bookshelf and/or any of the mod shelves
Mod
That's the idea, yes. but as it's an individual challenge with no reward beyond the fun of it, the only person you'd be "cheating" if you went out of order is yourself :-P

Oh, I'm glad I saw this - I was thinking I could complete out of order, within an itinerary - glad I hadn't found a book yet... lol

Oh! Make it a challenge, why don't you! 🤣
Honestly? Unless you're doing no other challenges and either have a good library or a KU subscription (I have neither), this one is hard enough without doing them in order! 😉
Sammy wrote: "Honestly? Unless you're doing no other challenges and either have a good library or a KU subscription (I have neither), this one is hard enough without doing them in order! 😉"I have BOTH a great library and a KU subscription (Audible, too) and it's STILL VERY HARD. I'm definitely not doing the itineraries in order, but I'm trying very hard to do the itinerary tasks in order and I'm only reading for my 5th book.... I was almost thinking I might switch it up and do the Itineraries in order and not the tasks, but I'm trying to follow the RULES ....
I find the hardest tasks to be the ones that involve publication dates
Ashley wrote: "I find the hardest tasks to be the ones that involve publication dates"Yeah, those get me too, but there are just those occasional out of left field tasks that hold me up. Two years ago I got a 'mask on cover' task that had me stumped for 6 months. Then in my infinite wisdom I restarted the same itinerary last year and got stuck for ages again 😆
and then the following itinerary had 'Read a book with the word teach, teacher, coach or help (plurals are acceptable) in the title'.
I didn't even finish two itineraries last year 😂
Oh geez - you're not making me feel hopeful!
You should fare better with libraries and KU at your disposal. I just didn't find anything I was willing to spend money on 😆
Sammy wrote: "You should fare better with libraries and KU at your disposal. I just didn't find anything I was willing to spend money on 😆"The library is definitely a lifesaver - I'd say almost 75% of the books I read come from there!
Audible+ had been that for me from time to time, although a lot of the time The UK catalogue is just audible originals and for some reason a gajillion Indian books and podcasts. I don't mind the odd one, but I want a bit more variety please, lol!

Nothing But Reading ChallengesAround the World 2024
Duration: 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2024
Progress: 0 out of 8
This used to be a self-directed team challenge, which has now been retired. But since the work that was put into it was too good not to use anymore and there was so much detail to it, the mods have decided to offer this challenge up as an individual annual reading challenge instead.
How does this work?
� Using the spreadsheet below, you are provided with a selection of travel itineraries to take one or several around the world trips.
...
� Trips will start in a random country/city and you will follow the globe in one direction the same as you would for a round the world fare. If you do not know the destinations, feel free to look them up for your own pleasure.
� Trips will consist of 8 stops across a maximum of 6 continents. At each stop, you will need to complete a task before moving on to the next stop in your trip.
(view spoiler)
� You can choose itineraries at random and do not have to follow them in order. So you could start with Travel Itinerary #5, then do Travel Itinerary #26 before hopping over to Travel Itinerary #1. It is entirely up to you, in which order you do the trips, or how many of them you complete.
� To track your progress, you can do so in this thread. Mods suggest reserving two spots when you sign up, just in case, as it all depends on your method of tracking. You can simply do it in your posts, or you could make a copy of the spreadsheet for yourself and fiddle around that way. Entirely up to you. Whatever works best for you.
� This is an annual challenge. It runs from 1st January to 31st December.
� Have fun!

This used to be a self-directed team challenge, which has now been retired. But since the work that was put into it was too good not to use anymore and there was so much detail to it, the mods have decided to offer this challenge up as an individual annual reading challenge instead.
How does this work?
� Using the spreadsheet below, you are provided with a selection of travel itineraries to take one or several around the world trips.
� Trips will start in a random country/city and you will follow the globe in one direction the same as you would for a round the world fare. If you do not know the destinations, feel free to look them up for your own pleasure.
� Trips will consist of 8 stops across a maximum of 6 continents. At each stop, you will need to complete a task before moving on to the next stop in your trip.
(view spoiler)[Should you have questions about some of the tasks, please refer to the Goal FAQs: (hide spoiler)]
� You can choose itineraries at random and do not have to follow them in order. So you could start with Travel Itinerary #5, then do Travel Itinerary #26 before hopping over to Travel Itinerary #1. It is entirely up to you, in which order you do the trips, or how many of them you complete.
� To track your progress, you can do so in this thread. Mods suggest reserving two spots when you sign up, just in case, as it all depends on your method of tracking. You can simply do it in your posts, or you could make a copy of the spreadsheet for yourself and fiddle around that way. Entirely up to you. Whatever works best for you.
� This is an annual challenge. It runs from 1st January to 31st December.
� Have fun!
