:) Yeah, I'm feeling it too!

Worse - For those of us who use it, we'll still have to wait until US Pacific Time before being able to set up the GR 2015 challenge widget.

I've posted two polls in Reading Recommendations previous..."


Gottcha. Well in that case, thank you. :)

42178 Thank you!!!

Yes, The Martian was at 13, I believe, when I l checked this morning. Others have started picking up a little though, but not anywhere close to The Martian.

I'm considering picking my first 3 to 5 books based, on the final results of the poll. All choices will have to have a minimum of 5 votes.

The poll will be open until tomorrow (Jan 1st, 2015) night. Keeping it up for only 24 hours didn't seem like quite enough time.

42178 In a fit of OCD, this is what my entries will most likely look like in 2015.
The only thing missing is the monthly goal number I usually put at the end, specifically for the series challenge.
I'm trying to decide if I want to keep it or not.

Here is what my last entry looks like for the series challenge:

(view spoiler)

My other thought is to just copy the entire series entry over here (adding the I'll Try Anything Once info), instead of editing it to remove the series challenge info, as usual.

As long as you enjoy what you're reading just do what you can. :)
