I don't see a section for Goodreads 100 challenge.


message 181: by BattyKat (new)

BattyKat (prosserkat) Listopia Challenge
Goodreads 100 (24/100)
1. Pillars of the Earth
2. Hitchhiker’s Guide
3. Animal Farm
4. Ender’s Game
5. Fahrenheit 451

I'm doing the Listopia Challenge that was posted... somewhere.
Based on that, I'm only doing 5 out of each list. It's all in my corner.
Do I need to 'drop out' of the challenge since it's not the whole list?? I've currently got over 60 books scheduled with all my challenges, and only started in March, not counting anything finished before mid-March.


message 182: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3888 comments No you can still do it of course. So you are reading 5 books for this challenge? That 24/100 is confusing me. Are you planning on reading the whole list?


message 183: by BattyKat (last edited Apr 05, 2013 09:29AM) (new)

BattyKat (prosserkat) When I saw the original post on this site, it mentioned listing how many of the original list (the GR 100 or whatever list is being used, since I'm doing a few of them) you had already read before starting this particular challenge. I had already read 24 of the 100 books.
If you look on my corner, all my sections in the Listopia Challenge has these at the start.

It's possible probable that since I was new to the concept of reading challenges, that I posted in each challenge section incorrectly, since I'm technically doing the Listopia Challenge.


message 184: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3888 comments I understand so I am putting you up for 5 as your goal. Hopefully that's right. Sorry for all of my confusion (:


message 185: by BattyKat (new)

BattyKat (prosserkat) No it's cool. Really sorry if I came across as snippy.

I was in another group with some unnecessarily strict rules and it set me off thinking it was going the same way.

I probably shouldn't have posted in each challenge, since I'm technically only doing the Listopia. :)

And yes, 5 books.
:D


message 186: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3888 comments It's more fun the more challenges you have. Glad to have you (:
