Hi Jill, I want to have a try. Can I start from some easy novel? I am a foreign students and want to improve my English reading.
You can read whatever you want for this challenge :)

Hello Jill,I would like to participate in the challenge. Can I count the books I have already read in 2016 that I have posted on Goodreads?
Thanks, Rosemary

I think I participated last year but cannot seem to find my thread. If I did not, I would like to have a thread set up for me.
Steve, your new thread is set up at the following link. We also have a "Steven", but you are listed as "Steve". Happy reading in 2016.https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I am puzzled by your comment about newcomers, Stephanie. Why did you think that was the case? Everyone is welcome.

Hi, I have my own "50 books challenge". Is it too late to join this challenge with my list of books? And do they all have to be history related?
It is never too late to join the 50 book challenge, Anne-mette and the books do not have to be history related. Your new thread is now set up at the following link. Don't forget to utilize our format which is the introductory post in your link........welcome.https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Hi Jill,I am late starting this, sorry. Please set me up for the 50 books read in 2016.
It is never too late, Karen. Your new thread can be found at:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

You can track all of the books that you have read during 2016 and get credit for them.
If you want to participate, post your request here or send me a PM and I will create for you your own thread so that you can challenge yourself. Remember, if you participated in 2015, you do not need to post a request. Always when you list your books only after finishing them, include the finish date, the name of the book (add book cover), the author's and author's photo link if available. Don't forget to number them consecutively so that you can keep track.
So let me know, and you can get started. You really are only competing against yourself and seeing how well you can do. Also, you can start this challenge any time at all...just send me a PM or post here and I will set up your own personal thread. Great way to keep track of your completed books.
Also, they can be in any genre, hardcopy, paperback, audiobooks, kindle, nook, sony e-reader. But they cannot be listed until you finish them. And you have to include the finish date (any genre), rating, short review, and genre type.
By the way, even if you do not think that you can make 50 books..it is still a great way to spur yourself on. Also there are those of you who I think will go beyond 50 since some of you are such avid readers.
Happy Reading,
Bentley
