RULES & GUIDELINES

Not too many of these as it is supposed to be fun after all :)

* As with traditional Bingo, you can go for a horizontal, vertical, diagonal, "X" or "around the world" (perimeter). Or aim big and go for a black out (all squares)!

* A book can only be used once on the sheet.

* Interpret the categories as broadly as you like.

* Feel free to copy and paste the template below to record your books:

You can ask questions within a particular Challenge Thread or post your questions here. Especially those which pertain to Y-L Challenges in general.

You may also share ideas for future challenges.
Or start one of your own. (Please look over what is already posted before you do.)

I was planning to read Les Misérables this year. One chapter per day (There's 365!) Long Book. Short Chapters. I'm in!

One of my favorites! This will run all year.
26 Books in one year, each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. (Not counting articles like "a," "an" or "the") to create your own special Alphabet Soup.

For example:
A- And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic
B- Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity
C- The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper
Etc.

You may use books that are from other mini-challenges, but not the Group Read titles. (Because then we'd all have the same soup.)
You may want to create a post with just the alphabet, then fill in books as you read them. Or create a "master list" of what you plan to read, then check them off as you finish each.

This thread is also the place to come for ideas on titles for letters that are trickier to find.

Tick Tock. Tick Tock.
The 2016 Decade Challenge is calling you.
