2013 Reading Challenges!

[Sheri, Bookworm]

We are going to be doing even more reading challenges in 2013. I'm hoping we will be able to get many more people participating. Here is a list of what is planned so far. These are subject to change.

Let me know if you have any challenge ideas! Please, if you are borrowing from another group, ask that group for permission to use their ideas.

You had me at Muppets Challenge, but put the nail in the coffin with Star Wars Challenge! This all sounds really fun. :)

[Brandy]

Okay, I'm new to reading challenges and Goodreads groups.

Does everyone already know what "Winter Wonderland Spell Challenge"(and the others)are or will these be explained as we go along?!

[Sheri, Bookworm]

They will be explained as we go along. I'll make a thread for each challenge about a week before it's going to start explaining what it is.

[Diana S]

I'm looking forward to the new challenges. Looks like we'll be having a lot of fun in 2013! :D

if we can't think of a title for a particular letter can we use the author's name?

[Rachel]

Only YA books for these challenges?

[Barb]

Boy, I hope not! If it's only YA, then I'll have to withdraw from the Star Wars challenge.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Nope, any books count.

For most of the challenges author's names or series names are okay to use. The exception is the A-Z year-long challenge. That one is only book titles.

I will post the links to each challenge as they are created, and the rules/instructions will be in those threads.

[Shan]

I do have a question about all of the year long challenges. Can we use the books we are reading in the monthly challenges?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Yep, you can use the same books.

[Lys]

I'm adding in some Quarterly Challenges for even more challenge fun.

April-June: Superheroes
July-September: Grab Bag (coming soon, watch for it)
October-November: ???

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

You go girl!

[Lys]

I moved this to archives since I am taking over the reading challenges. Check for the new thread!
