Hi Andrew,On the group's main page, there are different folders: Monthly Challenges, Yearly Challenges, Other Challenges. We also have Reading Tournaments happening quarterly (the next one is about to start soon). There are other challenges in the Dare you to Read Folder. For your reference:
Each month, we have the monthly challenge, the Pick-it-For-Me! Challenge and Read-the-Month (this year, it's Irish). Links for October are below:
1. October Monthly Challenge. Though the thread is up, you can start reading books for this only on/after October 1.
2. October Pick-It-For-Me! Challenge. Sign-ups are open until 28th Sep 10 am PDT.
There is a quarterly challenge going on now. Here is the link. It ends on Nov 15 but there's still plenty of time to jump in. There are a variety of Yearly challenge that you can join anytime during the year. Most challenges let you backtrack as well. You can check out the yearly challenges list here.
I would recommend you try the monthlies - especially, the Pick-it-For-Me!, the Monthly Reading Challenge. The quarterly and the yearly depends on your interest.
Hope this helps!

I do have a question for everyone. Out of the books that you read for September, Which one did you like best? Which one did you like the least? I have not read Fly Away Home yet but so far my fav read of September would be My Dearest enemy by Connie Brockway and Seduced By A Rogue by Amanda Scott. Have a great weekend everyone!!!..."
