@Bridgett I love when you are able to cross off multiple things with 1 book. :D There is no due date for when each set of numbers needs to be called, so I think that is a great idea!

123: Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
444: The Wright Brothers by David McCullough
I read The Giver many, many years ago. I loved it back then and I loved it this time around as well. Very well done. I have never read the rest of The Giver Quartet, though. Am looking forward to reading the next one!

I am slowly getting into
it is just taking too long to get going. It is finally starting to pick up and I am on chapter 9.
Mod
@Brdigett I hope it picks up soon!!
So

Has anyone read any books by David McCullough? I am making good progress on The Wright Brothers from this list challenge and I am totally digging his writing. It is a very well written piece of historical literature. So far, I totally recommend it! Will give more details (and a finalized opinion) when I finish it though ;)

:)
I havent but I will check them out now :)
I have finally finished reading
and I really enjoyed it It was about Henry VIII's older sister and she talks about her brother as well as her competition with Katherine of Aragon (she is the sister, along with her little sister Mary who was said to be a beauty)
I am now excited to the next book in this series that is based on Mary Boleyn :)
I have a few of his books in my tbr, Sam. Not that one since I’m not interested in the subject matter but I have yet to read a bad review of him or his writing!
Mod
@Allie So far, so good. I love his writing style. Definitely a historical book. Not filled with a lot of fluff, but I really enjoy that about it.

Anyone else have a ridiculously large "To Be Read" (TBR) List? I am embarrassed to admit that I created a secondary GR account simply to track my TBR list. YIKES. Let's make these lists smaller!
Challenge Dates: Kick-off is now with no defined end date
Challenge Goal: Read books that have been sitting on your TBR list for wayyyyyy too long!
Challenge Details:
- Sort your GR "Want to Read" shelf by # (or date added)
- Once a month, I will call out 3 random numbers:
1 number between 1 and 50
1 number between 51 and 250
1 number between 251 and 500
- Once these numbers are called, take a look at your "Want to Read" shelf. Find the book that corresponds to the numbers called and post them to this board.
- After you finish one of these books, comment on the board for points!
Potential FAQs:
1. Do I need to finish all three books in a single month? Nope! There is no determined deadline for these books. So if you submit January's books in June, you still get points.
2. What happens if I don't have lists large enough for the numbers called?
Lucky you! Feel free to hack off the last digit of a number to make it fit your list. For example, if I call out 438, but your list is not that large, remove the 8 from the end and add book # 43 to your list to read. Keep hacking away until you get a number that fits your list. :)
3. Do books tied to other group activities count towards this challenge?
You bet! If they crossover, go for it!
Challenge Points:
Finish a book: 10 POINTS
Submit a little blurb about whether or not you recommend the book: 5 POINTS
Complete all 3 numbers in one grouping: 25 POINTS
Comment on this thread to earn points! HAPPY READING!
