This is the 3rd level of this challenge.
The challenge consists of many levels, this level is 251 - 500 books. So, if you have not completed the first 250, go back and complete the previous levels of the Serious Readers Challenge for 2023 that you haven't already finished.
Just create your list of books (at this level, label them 251 through 500) and mark them off with a strike through or a check-mark them as you finish. If you find you can't finish one of the books on your list for any reason, you may replace it with another.
Also, if you just want to decide what you read as you go you can do that as well. Since this challenge is for the year 2023 any books you've read this year may be included.
This is a free choice challenge. Read whatever you want.

I thought you had joined previously... but no... you missed it every year. haha
welcome!
Only three of us, so I've given us a couple of days for each part. I guess if we are all reading it super quick we can post ahead of schedule (thinking of Wheels!)

A spreadsheet has been created to show all of our players, your target, how many books read, and what your % to your goal is comparative to other players.Everyone has access to columns C and D, so you can update your target and your books read whenever you like :)
Spreadsheet is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
In 2016 we started this challenge because when one of our mods (Karen) joined Goodreads in 2012, she still had books on her "to read" shelf from back then. They just stared at her... mockingly... asking when she was going to either read them or remove them from that shelf...
So in 2016 we started "clean out the closet" to read or delete all the books left on your TBR added in 2012 or earlier.
Over the years we have played with the concept and changed things around a little, but the reading challenge is simple...
>sort your "to read" shelf by date
>pick the books that you are going to read which have been on your list the longest and set yourself a goal. You may decide to read all of your books from the oldest year, or you may just take the oldest 20, or 50, or 5 books on your list. Some people choose specific series books, or ARCs, or just random..... Completely up to you how you set your goal and how many books you read!
>Your goal is tracked on this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
and players can edit columns C and D. So update your target books and books read as you go and we will post monthly progress to the thread.
It would also be great if you post your thoughts on the books once you finish them. Was it worth waiting for? :)
