How to Use This Group - 2017

Met and exceeded this year's goal (goal was 175, will have finished 178 by end of today). Just a bit confused about how things will work in 2017. I don't interact much but do want to track my numbers and just don't want to participate in monthly challenges either.
Will Goodreads keep track for me as it did in previous years? Where should I "register" my 2017 goals?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!
I have some of the same questions as Theresa.:)
Me too! Will this be like challenges in the past?

1. Introduce yourself! - We'd like to know who you are, what part of the world you're from, what kind of books you love, and anything else about yourself that you feel like sharing.
2. Set up your personal challenge thread - This is your home in the group, a central place where you can keep track of your progress on all of the challenges that you join, or any other reading goals you've set for yourself.
3. Join some challenges! - To join a challenge, simply add a comment with your goal in the challenge thread.
Many are set up so that you can participate at different levels, and the longer challenges have a template for tracking your progress that you can copy and paste into your post and edit as you go along.
★ Types of Challenges ★
Monthly Theme Challenge - In 2017, we'll be selecting a monthly theme by poll. To meet the challenge, read any book, fiction or nonfiction, that relates to the theme of the month.
Mini Challenges - These are month-long challenges. They're short and sweet, and are meant to promote spontaneity.
Books used for the mini challenges cannot be used for other challenges in the same category, but they can be used to complete the maxi and year-long challenges.
Maxi Challenges - These are mid-length mini challenges. Books may be used across more than one challenge.
Year-Long Challenges - Challenges that run the whole year. Books can be used across more than one challenge.
Readathons - We run readathons a few times per year. These are a special push to get on track with reading goals. Join in the reading mania!
★ Member Interaction ★
Challenges are always more fun together! Don’t forget to update us on your progress, even if it’s just to say what you read to fill a challenge requirement.
There are several discussion folders on the home page that offer opportunities to interact with other members outside of the challenges. These include:
• Buddy Reads - Want to do a buddy read? Here's where you can ask others to join you.
• A Quest for Answers - Featuring lots of reading-related questions to help members get to know each other a little bit.
• Book Chat - Join an existing discussion, or feel free to add a new topic.
• Specific book / author discussion - Join an existing discussion, or feel free to add a new topic.
