Gisbelle | 25787 comments Check List of Dares before starting a new thread, so that we won't have the same dare twice.

Your dare thread should follow this format:

e.g.: #1 Dare: TBR List

Please make sure that:
1. you explain the condition of your dare clearly to avoid confusion. If you dare them to read a book from their TBR list, make it clear whether you want the participants to read one of the first 10 books in their TBR list or any book in their TBR list.
2. your dare is achievable. If your dare is too difficult, it might discourage people to participate.
read a 400 page plus book in a day

Post below to claim your dare spot since we are going to number each dare.
