I don't see a section for Goodreads 100 challenge.
Listopia ChallengeGoodreads 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.
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?
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
I understand so I am putting you up for 5 as your goal. Hopefully that's right. Sorry for all of my confusion (:
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
I would love to join this as a late comer if possible....I have currently read 28/100 and am shooting for reading another 13 before the end of the year.
8/13
I've finally finished my first book that counts for this challenge! Beloved by Toni Morrison (Pulitzer ’88) (**** 4/16/13)
