Mrs W Woodruff | 811 comments I love this group: The Challenge Factory, I talk it up to my friends who enjoy reading.

My favorite challenges are the Monthly Ones. I always participate in the Ambitions.

I did enjoy the Group Challenge in the summer months...I can't remember what it was called. But working with other readers to accomplish a task or mission is fun.

RachelG. | 237 comments I have only been a member for a few months but I really enjoy the format of the ghostbusters challenge. I also really enjoy Dusty Bookshelf and FWYS. I would love to see them continue next year as well.

Sally906 | 311 comments I really enjoy being in this group.


In this group you mods have been able to get a really good balance - there are open-ended challenges to keep me happy, but the fast one month challenge a for those who loved to be against the clock (so to speak), and even some of your shorter date ending challenges (3 and 6 month) have levels for every ability that tempt me every so often 😀👍

I am increasingly getting frustrated with team challenges so will probably not enter many in 2025,, this is a me thing though - nothing you guys have done wring

In 2024 I REALLY enjoyed Save the bees, year of the dragon, the backyard birds and dinosaur DNA - hoping for similar ones next year.

Overall you mods are great - and very approachable - which doesn't happen all the time.

Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 180 comments I love the challenges in this group. I'm new to the group, but I did better than I expected on the challenges until a few health issues reared their ugly heads. To make matters worse, we ended the year with two destructive hurricanes.

I loved the year of the dragon. I also had fund with the ABC road trip even though I didn't finish, the genre pyramid, Reporter Challenge. I prefer the individual challenges because I control my own success, but I did enjoy the group challenge.

I'm looking forward to this year's challenges.

Michelle,
We all have our favorite challenges, don't we? I am going to miss Fandoms when it shuts down as well. The thing is we can't just take their challenge. We are discussing this right now. One option is to reach out to Jennifer closer to when the group shuts down to see if she is willing to let us use it. Another option is to revamp it. I am currently thinking about this option now. We want you to know that we are taking your suggestion under serious consideration. Your thoughts and input are very important to us. Thank you for taking the time to share all of this with us.

Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 180 comments This isn't about my experience, but ...

I thought I saw a January I love audiobooks challenge, but I don't see it now. Did I see last year's challenge?

Sharon, to the right of each Folder title (in this case, Monthly Challenges), there is a button to click on called 'Showing 5 of 5 topics'. That will open up all the threads in a Folder.

I've noticed that the first number isn't always correct. In our case, there are actually 10 challenges in the Folder. The I [Heart] Audio Books challenge is there. It was just down far enough that it wasn't in the top 5 showing.

I'm going to archive December's monthly challenges right now. You should be able to see the audio book challenge when I'm finished.
