Great list Kathyrn! I've updated you (:

[Sarah]

I would love to join this challenge too. Can you put me down for 5 please =]

[Adriana]

No problem Sarah! But do you have something I can add to your name maybe your last name or nickname so you don't get confused with the other Sarah?

[Sarah]

Oh yes sorry. Sarah Lou will be fine =]

[Adriana]

It's fine, I just happened to notice that there were two of you (:

[Overbooked ✎]

I'd like to join too please, 5 is my target, who knows I might do more ...

[Nancy from NJ]

I am new here and have a couple of questions - hope this isn't annoying to anybody.

Is there a list we are supposed to choose our books from or do we add our own list?

If we finish our first choices, can we add another list?

Looking forward to getting to know members of this group and having some good book discussions.

[Chloé]

Yes look at the first post on the first page you have the link.

You can always diminish or raise you challenge.

[Chloé]

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4...

Just in case you don't find it.
You can add your own recommendations, just limit yourself to 5 books, but you can vote on as many books you like.

[Nancy from NJ]

Ok I found the list. Some real good titles.

Is there any special criteria we need to use to add books.

I'd like to add the following titles:

Someone
The Physician
The Lemon Orchard
The Secret History
Bel Canto

[Nancy from NJ]

Is it possible to add me with my reading 12 books ffor this challenge.

[Chloé]

to add the books recomandation, you just need to click "add books to this list" tab (top of the list).

The moderator will add your challenge on the first page when she sees it (it's Adriana).

You pick your books from the list (the one you haven't read but you want to). You can either do like some people had, share on a post the all the books you want to read, if you already know which one you plan to read. Or pick them randomly through the year and share your experience with us when you like.

Each time you post that you've finished a book here, the moderator will modify your challenge entry on the list.

Go see previous pages to have example of what other member have done. It might inspire you :)

[Chloé]

The only criteria is to recommend books you liked and want everybody to read :) You know books you want to share :)

[Adriana]

@Kiwi- Added you!
@Nancy- I've added you! Remember you can only add 5 new books on your own for the list. Those you have listed are perfect. You can vote for anyone else's as much as you want (:

Thanks for being so helpful Chloe :D

[Chloé]

No problem! I'm finally off! I had my last exam tonight. So I free like a bird! Chilling evening on internet with movies!:)

[Adriana]

Sweet! I've been off since Saturday and I've read three books. It's been amazing :D ~ watching anything good?

[Chloé]

Feeling nostalgic, I guess. Felt like rewatching Harry Potter. I'm on the blood prince ;)

What were the books?

[Adriana]

Awesome (:

They were:


Amy and Roger's Epic Detour was amazing!

Welcome Kellyanne!

[M.H.]

I've read and enjoyed many of the books on this list; so, I assume the others are just as good. Put me down for ten. (If I re-read any, do they count?)

Yes, you can re-read M.H. I plan to do that for two because I want to get into the rest of the series (:
