174195 Same. I think I'm going to stick to the months (a bit... maybe I'll let myself get ahead by a book or two depending on library holds), but I'm not worried about week to week.
174195 Well that does explain why I couldn't figure it out lol. They are all at 315 this morning so... we will chalk it up to a lag. Thanks for checking on it, Steve.
174195 For some reason, the total members is adding up to 311 on the A-F tab, 311 on the G-L tab, and only 309 on the M-Z tab.

Can anyone look at it and let me know what y'all think? I can't figure out what's up.

174195 Tammie and Bea, Tress of the Emerald Sea was in my top 5 books of 2023! It's the only Brandon Sanderson book I've ever read, but it was so good and so unexpected for me.

Also Bea, I have a shelf titled "to-revisit" and those are books that I feel like I'm not enjoying because of my personal mental capacity and not because I don't like the book.

174195 Yes, they were hidden. If you scroll along the bottom, the 2024 are there. I will likely give it another week then delete the 2023 tabs altogether, but I wanted to give people a chance to do last minute updates if they wanted to.

174195 Your call! Some people put their own restrictions, while others will use children's books to fulfill the challenge.

We occasionally have restrictions (mostly for read-a-thons) but the general yearly challenge is up to you!

174195 Yea one of my side goals is to DNF often when I find myself dragging my feet on a book. If I DNF, I don't rate it.

It's excellent on audio, if you use audiobooks.

174195 You've absolutely have to be on the browser (either on your phone or ipad or laptop) and not the app for it to work.

174195 Ann, I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad to have you back!

174195 It's early to abandon your plan already Elaine haha! I love that though.

174195 Welcome Camilla. I love the thoughtfulness behind pages read instead of books, but I have such a hard time breaking out of the book counting mindset, especially on Goodreads and their "9 books behind!" notification lol.

174195 I started The Hanging City by Charlie N. Holmberg this morning, and I'm really enjoying it!
