Can you believe it? We've reached 1,000 members in our “little� group, here at Romance Lovers for the Challenge Impaired!

In honor of this momentous occasion, we are going to celebrate that number.

Rules: Choosing by increments of 10, select your level: 10, 20, 30...50, 100, 200, even 1,000! Be sure to indicate your goal.

Duration: You set the pace.

ÌýÌý  (See technical help below.)
2. Read books that are on 1,000 or more TBR (to-be-read) piles of GRs members.

5. Read a series that cumulatively has 1,000 or more pages. While you can choose

ÌýÌý  read as many as it takes to reach 1,000 pages.
6. Read books submitted to �1001 Romance Books You Must Read Before You Die.�
ÌýÌý  This is a “Work in Progressâ€� from several groups; however the Master Lists, divided

Phoenix (Online Elf) | 4358 comments Lovely Lassies, I added a list of books with 1,000 or more pages to Option #4 (under the spoiler) in Post #1. Sorry, no hyperlinks, but it is alphabetical.

Phoenix (Online Elf) | 4358 comments Thanks, Miss Jenny. I added that to #4.


â¶Ä°Õ±ð²¹â¶Ä (ttea) | 252 comments Few questions...

- If I chose to set my goal at 20, does that mean that I'm reading 2 things for each option (no matter how many books it takes) or 20 books overall?
- What page count are we using? For edition we are reading or default one?
- In that 'ten words title' does those a, an, the,... count or not?
- How old those purchases needs to be? All my lately bought books are under 10$ (but if I convert $ to kn (HRK), they can work. - Somehow it would feel like cheating since I'm buying them in $)

..."


Thanks Lisa Kay & Elishia for your effort!
But I've meant the "thousand" word in the title -book (option 7). I've already decided to read Stephen Kings - The stand for the 1000 pages book.

Do we have to use the exact word "thousand" or can I find all the letters in the title of a book?

Edit: Already done - I've found two books :D

Phoenix (Online Elf) | 4358 comments Great questions, Miss â¶Ä°Õ±ð²¹â¶Ä . I hope these answers help:

- If I chose to set my goal at 20, does that mean that I'm reading 2 things for each option (no matter how many books it takes) or 20 books overall?
You can pick and choose from the options listed; you do NOT have to do them all.

- What page count are we using? For edition we are reading or default one?
Either is fine. Of course, LARGE PRINT text for the legally blind would NOT be fair.

- In that 'ten words title' does those a, an, the,... count or not?
You may or may not ignore the indefinite and definite articles, as you desire.

- How old those purchases needs to be? All my lately bought books are under 10$ (but if I convert $ to kn (HRK), they can work. - Somehow it would feel like cheating since I'm buying them in $)
Your purchases can be as old or as new as you want, as long as you determine that the price at time of purchase was at least a thousand pennies ($10) � or whatever smallest denomination you were using at that time was a 1,000 or over.

â¶Ä°Õ±ð²¹â¶Ä (ttea) | 252 comments Thank you Mr. Mick :)

I'm little confused about last one. Up in first post you say 'you paid at least a thousand pennies' and now you say 'purchase was less than $10'

I promise that's the last one :D
