OMG, that is hard. Okay, how about looking up books by isbn? Put in numbers with 8 even numbers and see what you get? Does zero count as even?

Am I too late to join? This looks fun!!

Sophie wrote: "I've just found out that everything on my tbr published on the 17th of a month, isn’t available at my library and I don't already have a copy of. Might take me a while to get moving."

Did you find one? I'm procrastinating at work, so searched my lists for you and found these published on the 17th:

One Second After by William Forstchen
Atonement by Ian McEwan
Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction by Lisa Kroger
These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong
The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
In the Woods by Tana French
The Grownup by Gillian Flynn
Forward Collection Series - 6 short kindle books curated by Blake Crouch.
The Girls of Slender Means by Muriel Spark

Finally finished #1. I'm shooting for 20, but I'm doing a dozen other challenges so this is my first opportunity to get an oldie knocked off.

- 3 stars. I wanted to love it more than I did. Some of it was amazing, and some of it was boring and dragged on way too long.

Do any books read after the start of the challenge count? I typically read 3 books at one time, so just wondering if I get a challenge that is satisfied by a book I've already read, can I count it?

Dumb questions - what does MGP mean? How does spell it out work in this maze? I think I'm missing something.

Decades Challenge 2022
Duration: 22nd February 2022 to 23rd February 2023
The lite versions don't seem to add up, so I'm making my own. Modified level 9 = 78 books

Thank you for the recommendation. I already found a new channel to watch. :)

Thank you so much! This really helps!

Hi! My name is Tricia and I'm super excited to find your group. I did my local library reading challenge last year and was looking for new challenges to try out. A friend directed me to you. I have to admit that I'm totally overwhelmed. I'm not really sure how to track everything going on in this group.

Birthday: March 30
Favorite Book(s): Ever: The Red Tent and Station 11. From last year would have to be Migrations.
Favorite Book Genre: I'm all over the place, but I particularly like sci fi and general fiction, with a little steamy romance on occasion.
Favorite Author: If we're talking about authors that I read everything they put out, then Suzanne Brockmann, Sharon Shinn, and JR Ward. But really, they are loads that I love.
Favorite Color: Green - the beautiful shades of plants and the planet.
Favorite Food: Chocolate
Any Pets: Not at the moment.
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: right here in the PNW in the summer with a beach house in the winter.
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I would rather be reading than doing just about anything else.

I get most of my books from the library, so that is making getting new releases really challenging. Books that were supposed to publish last month are still on order, or if the library does have them, they have hundreds of people on the wait list. I'll do my best!

Level 1: Once Upon a Time
Level 2: Twice Shy
Level 3: Three Little PIgs
