I might just do that then!

Also: damn, you're quick at replying :P"

LOL! My GR notifications come up on my phone which is sitting right in front of me.

Sure, as long as they're clearly marked.

I never received a notification about this post.

When you say you need a different way to post it, what do you mean?

I would keep the list as you have it, but in it's own post, and then either strike through/check mark what you've done, put the title of the book that meets that criteria next to the category, or both.

Similar to what I did in this post.

First! :)

Whatever you decide, I wish you the very best!

Hi GA.

In the 2017 folder (where you are now), just click on "new topic" in the upper right corner.

I think many of us need a year to just reset and get back to basics! :)
Wishing you the best in 2017!

Oh, and FIRST!! :)

DoodlePanda wrote: "LOL grats! :P
And thanks! It might all change though, just putting all my ideas here for now. :)"

That makes sense; then you'll have plenty of time to see what might work best for you in the coming year.

Best Wishes!!

First!! :)

Looking good, DP!

I might copy your Categories challenge... ;)"

It was originally Mrs. J's idea. Enjoy! :)

Thank you, DP! I hope your 2017 is a fantastic one as well. :)

*Smile* and Thanks.


2016 has been such a disappointing shock to the system, that I'm looking forward to my limited reading time in 2017.
Now that I know how work intensive my year will be, I can set my expectations and goals accordingly.
The key will be allowing myself the time to enjoy reading again.

FYI: I've created the folder for the 2017 individual challenge threads for anyone who is interested.

I missed this as well, and I'm also at a loss for suggestions.
Do you know, yet, what you are going to do?
