If you like all the challenges you might want to check out the RPG Challenge too since there's lots of mini quests that are all part of the bigger challenge.

[Kelly]

Make your own post in the RPG folder then you can set it up however you want to track your progress. If you look at some others threads you can see how they set up their log.

You can also stop by The Tavern if you have questions and there's lots of people who have answers to things pretty much all day :)

Hi Megan,
Welcome and have fun!

Welcome Megan

[Nancy]

Hi everyone, My name is Nancy Smith. My book listed on GoodReads is called "The Slow Kill." Despite the name, it's not a murder mystery. "Slow Kill" is a term to describe prolonged drought. The book is a near-future scifi and set in Austin, Texas where we have had drought for several years. The major theme of the book is related to isolation vs community and hopefully isn't as depressing as this post sounds. I think the story has heart. I enjoyed writing this book for you. I hope that you would enjoy reading it.

[Brittany (tinsel hoarding bookdragon)]

Hello! I just found this group and joined today, I'm not an avid book reader...mainly because I read a lot slower than most but I am trying to change that. so if anyone has any pointers or tips on how to speed up my reading a bit that would be great :)

Favorite Author: stephen king
Favorite Color: purple and green

[Cait S]

Welcome to the group, Brittany!

As far as reading faster, challenges hugely changed my speed. In 2013 I read 30 books total. 2014 was when I started doing challenges and I read 115. Having the motivation of completing something/competing in a game/etc definitely helped me. So if you find some that look like fun, I'd say sign up and see if that helps you too. Even if it doesn't, they're super fun to do anyway!

I hadn't even looked at it like that! I've set a goal for myself this year of 70 books. so far in the last 2-3 weeks I've read 3, so hopefully I can speed up a bit to meet my goal!

[Tammy]

Hi everyone!

My birthday is January 3.
Choosing a favorite book is so hard! Maybe The Winds of War by Herman Wouk because I think it is among the first books that got me hooked to my favorite genre - historical fiction. So for right now I'd probably choose Herman Wouk as my favorite author. You'd probably get a different favorite book and author on a different day!

My favorite color is green. I guess my favorite food is chocolate, although I love most foods!

I have a dog, Chesty. I got him at the local shelter almost a year ago. He's named for Chesty Puller. It's a long story.

If I could live anywhere in the world it would be where I'm living right now - Hendersonville, Tennessee. I'm loving my home and community.

Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because....I have piles and piles of books! I try to clean out the piles occasionally without much luck. I love reading but I also love the books themselves!

[Melanie]

Birthday: March 9th
Favorite Book(s): Secret Garden, Wicked, Jitterbug Perfume
Favorite Book Genre: Historical Mystery
Favorite Author: C.S. Harris right now but there are so many!!!
Favorite Color: Green
Favorite Food: So hard as it depends on my mood but chocolate is always good. mmmmmmm.
Any Pets: Bertie (Black Miniature Schnauzer); Nesbitt Burns (fluffy red cat).
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Ottawa - I've lived in lots of places and this is where chose to live since I liked it best. It is a beautiful capital city.
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because I have a difficult time walking by a bookstore without leaving with a new book even though I have 3 or 4 on the go!

[❀Tea❀]

Welcome to the group Tammy. ☺

*hides her chocolate*

Hope you'll have fun here with us. We'll help you here to make those piles of books even larger. :)

[❀Tea❀]

[Nancy]

Welcome Melanie! We're reading Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West as a BOM this month and I am loving it! It is so well written. I've also had C.S. Harris recommended so I really must give them a go. Jump in and get reading - it's great to have you here.

Hi Fatimah! I've never heard of Jessi Kirby? What kind of books are they? Looking forward to seeing you getting involved in some challenges and group reads. I know you'll have a great time here.

[Martha]

Hello all,
I'm Martha. I love mysteries, especially "whodunits," but I also read a lot of cozies, PIs, and police procedurals. I also like history, SF/fantasy, and some thrillers. In fact I'll read almost anything except romance novels.
I own both a kindle and nook, but also read hardbacks and paperbacks and listen audio books. So its not unusually for me to read or listen to more than one book at a time.

I look forward to being in the group and joining some of the challenges.
