I have a question. the next month will be Read 3-4 books with a friend or family, but none of my family or friends read as much as I do, would it be ok if I read books that were recommended to me by friends or in these picking challenges here?Would a buddy read work?
I hope I can twist this challenge a little.
@Anita: Buddy reads totally count! Just because they are on the internet doesn't mean they can't count as friends.
Great thank you. I have a buddy read this month and I'm joining a BOM discussion. So I can definitely use those.

Hi! So I think I'm going to sign up for this challenge, but I don't think I'm going to be able to do them by months. I have a really hard time with challenges that have deadlines for some reason lol And since this challenge is all about me, I know perfectly well that I am going to be selfish and do it the way I want to! But to punish myself for the discretion, I'm going to do all the options for every month I'm a little ADD like that anyway.

Whew! Glad to know I won't be the only one :)
So apparently I signed up for this at some point and totally don't remember. I'm thinking about re-signing up. However I wont be able to do month to month. I'd have to jump around and I'm a slow reader so it would probably take me over a year to do. Oh and I went through a number of the pages but never came across my original sign up.

You can just sign up again, of course.
I've been working on this challenge for a long while, so don't worry about taking more than a year :). I think a lot of people do it.

Decided to make a change or two since I prefer spell it outs for Month 5 I'm spelling out country I'd like to visit. Month 7 I'm going to read books with my son but do a spell it out of his name. I know we were given free reign so hope this is ok
