Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Mini congrats, CaroB! ☺

Question about this challenge: It says in the rules that you can decide if a challenge lasts more or less than a month, but can you also decide to do multiple challenges for multiple months? For example, could I do both the "Birthday" & "Birthstone" in one or more months? I read an average of 14 books a month so I know I could knock out multiple challenges in a single month if I plan correctly.

In the last 8 months since I've started this challenge, I've read 185 books. This averages out at 23 books a month, so if I can read 24 books this month, I should be good. *Fingers Crossed!*

Oh, I like how you figured that out, CaroB! I was worried about that one. I think I'm going to go with the average and then kick it up a notch also.

Finished.

Completed: 91/91
My twist to this challenge to make it all about me, is that I will not necessarily keep each month separate. I will complete each monthly challenge, but fit the books in where they will fit as I go along in the course of the year.
