2016 Reading Challenge - Discussion Thread

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

I'm done with 27 and have the rest planned out. I have every reason to think I'll finish this year.

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

I have seven unfinished categories, though I'm doing two right now. Most are planned. I need a book set in Europe (I think one of my recent purchases may fit) and one with my occupation and the first book I see in a bookstore. I may change this to library.

For a celebrity book, I did As You Wish by Cary Elwes. I had Allegiant and The Kill Order for romance in the future and The Dream Thieves for the summer.

If you go over to the progress thread, you can see what other people read, which sometimes gives me ideas.

I'm at 33 and plan to read them all but 1. I'm just not feeling an autobiography.

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

I've just updated mine and it's at 20. I'm not sure how many more i'll be able to cover without using a book for more than 1 category. We shall see!

How abo..."

ooh that sounds good Vinca :-)

I'm having problems linking my shelve to tho challenge counter thingy. It won't accept the name of my shelve. Can somebody tell me how to name my shelf? Thank you.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Anyone know if there's going to be a 2017 version of this? I hope so. I've been enjoying it a lot.

Me too! It's encouraged me to read some new things and to finally cross a few of my ever-expanding TBR pile :-D

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

I'll have a look and see what I can come up with :)

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

I've had a look and will get a new post prepped before the end of the year (hopefully)!

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Yay!

I've set up a widget for participation but I don't think you can join it until January 1st. But at least you've got time to plan!

[Vinca]

Awesome! Looks like there are some great categories in there. Thanks for setting it up Kirsty :-)

[Susie]

Whelp, even with some creative interpretation and a couple of last minute entries, I'll still be 7-8 short of completion. This was trickier than I thought, especially in those that branch out of my comfort zone! But it was very fun, good for deciding what to read next. I'll probably try again in the new year, maybe with a more conservative goal. XD

[Shawnie]

29 / 39 this year. :)

[Margo]

I actually completed all but 2 of the categories but the little widget thing insists I only have 30! It is thread 98 but the line that tells you that is missing which maybe corrupted the file.

Ah well - such is life! I know I did it =p
