The Random TBR Challenge

[Maxine Marsh]

Yeah, it doesn't look like I'm going to finish this one either :( I guess I read too much horror to get to all the other genres. I got 5 though, so that's something. I will try to get a few more at least for the year.

[Natasa]

Kate I'm totally loving this challenge :)

I'll join and post my list when I catch a free minute...I'll have to be more careful though, my HA challenge for this year is way too ambitious. I posted 40 books that I will supposedly read and I started the challenge in June...but I had no idea that suddenly I won't have that much time as usual to read, so yeah...way ambitious.

What happenes whith the books that you don't finish? Do you just push them into the next years challege?

Here I will probably pick 5 books and try to stay realistic :) I'm way too greedy.

Addy your list is awesome!
And I just read Hell House and it was such a great read! Totally recommend it reading asap :)

[Maxine Marsh]

Natasa, glad to see you. I love Hell House, love the book, love the movie, my kind of horror!

[Natasa]

I had no idea there was a movie! What a great info, thank you! Is it the same name and when was it made?

That's great, Natasa. Like you, I've been a bit too ambitious this year. Perhaps we should see if we have any books for this year in common and buddy read to keep us motivated.

The movie is called The Legend of Hell House, made in 1973. Roddy McDowell plays the psychic perfectly. It is very faithful to the book and is creepy as hell.

That's a great movie. :)

[Natasa]

Thx Maxine :) I'll check it out!

Kate that is a great idea :) I can't wait for the tourist season to go down a bit so I can read again as usual...maybe when I post my challenge list we will find something in common? When I have some free time I'll peak on your to-read list as well.

[Kate]

Natasa, I'll make a new list detailing what I have to read this year. That will help you decide if we can buddy read anything. :)

Here's my 2014 TBR shelf.

I'm not sure what's going on with the TBR challenge on the home page. It says that I've completed mine with 89/10 and is counting everything that I've read this year. An error message also comes up when I click to see the books.
Anyone else having that issue?

[Justin]

Mine days 5 of 20 and its correct. I see the entire group goal is way over though, that must be from you. Sounds like it somehow got linked to your "read" folder probably from some glitch if it won't let you click to see the books. Maybe try to update your challenge and change the folder it is linked to and then change it back and see what happens.

[Kate]

I'll give it a try but when I clicked on update challenge it came up with an error message.

[Kate]

Okay, it worked that time. Thanks. :)

[Justin]

I was just guessing, glad you figured it out though!

[Kate]

Maybe I should have left it and made it look as though I completed at least 1 challenge. Lol

[Justin]

I haven't thought about this sense I made it but still read five of my books. I will have to try to finish it, I also need to get back to the a-z challenge, I'm down to the hard letters now

[Kate]

I'm calling quits on this challenge, it's not fun and having to read something takes all the enjoyment out of it. :(

[Maxine Marsh]

I think if we did this one again, I'd random 20 and pick the 5 I'd most like to read...

Yes, a better plan. I'd also be vetting my TBR before doing it. I got Moby Dick as one of my picks for this years challenge, will not make that mistake again. ;)
