I'm so sorry about that Alison. I shall add you now. Thanks for letting me know. Good luck.

I think I have everyone added so far. Good luck.

This is very cool. I'll sign up for 10. Thanks!

Lol my first try, the random generator gave me 45 and 225 twice out of 267 possibilities :P I clicked "Again!" and will go with the second list instead.

The randomly generated results are:

34. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
56. A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
57. The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith
79. In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
84. Martin Eden by Jack London
92. Babbit by Sinclair Lewis
141. A Small Fortune by Audrey Braun
155. Black Skin, White Masks by Frantz Fanon
204. The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood
220. Empire Falls by Richard Russo

Really excited for most of these - quite a few classics that I've never read and desperately need to. I won't necessarily read them in this order. Maybe I'll assign them numbers 1-10 and randomly generate to decide which one to read next!

Sorry Erika for not including you. I'm really surprised (in a very good way) about how well this challenge has been received. I've now added you.

Sign me up. I'm in for 10.

You're signed up Leonie. Good luck with your goal.

So, the seven numbers generated for me were

54
17

74
82
100

But, being an idiot is one of my character traits !! Where do I go for the index of books' numbers?

James if you go to the tab at the top of the page called "My Books" it will list your books. On the left side of that page is a tab called to-read. Click on that and each of your to-read books has a number. Look for the book numbers that corresponds to your randomizer numbers.

I spent years working in a book shop. THAT was so -- perfect -- you stumbled, or asked, you had a book.

I am a thankful old dog, awaiting new tricks learned.

Thank you, Jodi.

You are welcome James!

I'm getting some great ideas of even MORE books to add to my TBR shelf :) I'm in for 10although I haven't randomized my list yet

I had 61 books on my list. I will start with those before i use randomized selections. Is that OK or shall I need to resign from this club ??

I'll go for 10. Here's my list
41. 44. 50. 77. 81. 89. 91. 107. 187. 189.

Hi Jordan. I've added you. Welcome and good luck. Feel free to update your goal at any time.

Ooh I like this one!! my goal for 2014 is 52!

Wow! Jaclyn that is such a big challenge goal! I am looking forward to seeing your list.

Jaclyn wrote: "Ooh I like this one!! my goal for 2014 is 52!"

Awesome challenge goal Jaclyn. Good luck and welcome to the challenge.

Jodi wrote: "Wow! Jaclyn that is such a big challenge goal! I am looking forward to seeing your list."

Well that's my goal for the YEAR. Did I read it wrong? Is this a monthly challenge? In that case, I'd definitely change my number! I'm just trying to get through my TBR and this challenge seems great to help me get through it!

Jaclyn this is definitely a yearly challenge. I get excited when people have high goals. Actually, using your logic that helps me work out how many I should aim for in the year. Thank you.

Is there a easy way to find the position? I have some many books on my to-read shelf it would take me time to find all the ones lol.

Awesome! Then yes, 52...one per week. My goal for 2013 was 100, which was too ambitious! I think I'm gonna end up at around 80 or so. So next year, I'm aiming much smaller to start off, and if I need to increase it, then I can. I'm very excited about this challenge...it's always hard for me to decide what to read next!

Katelyn wrote: "Is there a easy way to find the position? I have some many books on my to-read shelf it would take me time to find all the ones lol."

I don't know of an easy way to find the books but there are 20 per page so I counted out approximately where they would be, rather than clicking through each page.

Jodi wrote: "Katelyn wrote: "Is there a easy way to find the position? I have some many books on my to-read shelf it would take me time to find all the ones lol."

You can do an infinite scroll and have the books ascending and descending. So if you have books near the top end of your TBR list (ie 7000) then maybe use the infinite scroll option with the books in descending order. Does that help?

Jodi wrote: "Katelyn wrote: "Is there a easy way to find the position? I have some many books on my to-read shelf it would take me time to find all the ones lol."

I THINK that if you are on a desktop, it shows the position number. I tried the desktop site on my phone but that didn't work. But I'm pretty sure that it will show it on an actual computer.

I am going to do 8 books for 2014.

I haven't even had the randomiser pick my books yet but this challenge is helping me weed through my to-read shelf. I went through and considered each book and removed it if it would make me sad or stressed out or disappointed to have it come up on the randomiser. Figured I must not really want to read it. Then I had to beef my to-read shelf back up so I went through the NY Times 100 Notable Books of 2013 list and added in a bunch of them.

I had to edit my original post because I read Night on the way home from my Thanksgiving trip. That takes me down to 19, so shall I just use a randomizer to add one more, or leave it as is?

I'm in for 20. I tend to start challenges but never finish them on time but I'm going to really try to finish this on time.
