Totally cool and useful, Almeta. Thank you!
How do we create the widgets for personal challenges?
Mod
There are no such things on Goodreads. UNLESS.....
1. you happen to be a member of the Goodreads Feedback group and
2. a moderator of your own group (being a group of one in this case!)
Your current option is to join a group such as this one and let the moderator create a personalized challenge for you (if the existing ones do not fit) or join the existing ones with other people accepting the same challenge.
Oh! Ok! lol. Thanks. I'm trying to start a personal challenge to finish all of James Patterson's Alex Cross books. There are 21 I believe.
Mod
You can just sign up for authorization and join others who are reading specific authors.
Mod
You are welcome.
I have an entire bookshelf full of James Patterson's. You chose an entertaining author.
I'm going to just do Home Alone, with a k.i.s.s.I'm also going to be realistic and only do 100 books.
Mod
I'm also going to be realistic and only do 100 books."
I admire your discipline! I never seem to keep it simple.
I wish...that we could enter challenges BEFORE the begin time. It is kinda like we aren't allowed to sign up for a race until the starting gun goes off. :)
Mod
When I first started setting them up, I put a start date of December 15th so that you could plan and enter everything early. Soon I realized that this would mean that your remaining 2014 reads would end up in 2015 challenges. I had to go back and change all of the start dates!
Here we go - with 2015!Another chance Goal = 5
Doorstops Goal = 15
Edingus Goal = 20
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Goal = 50
Home Alone Goal= 10
Hot Off The Press Goal = 5
Serial Eyes Goal = 20
Looking forward to another great year of reading!
Mod

Wow, there's going to be some heavy duty reading going on, Almeta & Elizabeth.
I'm going to do two this year - Home Alone and eDingus. I've joined another group that does themed challenges, so that's all I feel I can keep track of here. Doing the Home Alone is definitely helping though, thank you Almeta and everyone for helping me get so many books out of my apartment!
Here are my 2015 Challenges:Doorstoppers 10 books
Edingus 10 books
Serial Eyes 40 books
Double Dog Dare 6 books
Left Over Stew 5 books
Thanks, Almeta, for updating the link at the top of the thread. Really helpful!
Almeta, could you add a link for me for Roz 2015 at the top of the thread? Thanks
Arrgh! I appear to have signed up for 10 this year... I think I need to tweak some of my goals yet: for instance I can only think of two books to which I'm prepared to give a second chance!1. Chain link fence (12)
2. Serial Eyes (18)
3. Another chance (3)
4. Reality Check (5)
5. Where's Your Card (40)
6. Left Over Stew (6)
7. GR Authorization (10)
8. Shelving Unit (15)
9. Authorization (9)
10. Hear Ye (20)
My Challenge was 100 books. I've read over 40 so far...wish me luck....e-books count right???
Mod
Hey Andrew, you sound like you are making pretty good progress with your personal challenge.
You should join up with other e-readers at 2015 eDingus. If your 40 are on an independent shlef, you could record your goal and progress there.
I do wish you luck!
Mod
ROZ!!!
I can believe I just saw your January post. Obviously I missed some notification.
I have finally changed the link to your 2015 goals.
Can't apologize enough for having missed that.
Mod
Darkpool!!!
I missed your post as well. So sorry.
Luckily Andrew's post drew my attention to those posts just above his.
I have updated your 2015 link.
No problem, Almeta. I just figured you were busy.Thanks for the link.

Did you? *oblivious*
I feel really dumb now for not having noticed either!

At the top of this thread, you will find links to each of your stated goals, so you can find them more quickly. (Instead of browsing through this discussion.)"
I like what happens when you go crazy. Hehehe!
