Okay, I succumbed to the “cheese” and started creating some READO boards. Here’s how I thought we could work this thing.

I’ll post a few different topical boards (e.g. Experiences, World Lit, Mysteries & Suspense, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Graphic Novels, etc.) and you can choose which board to work on.

Once you get a READO (any line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, or 4 corners) you let me know by sending me an email, posting here on GoodReads, or sending me your completed board. I’ll collect names throughout the month and draw for the Amazon gift card as usual.

I’ll also send the boards out to the MCLSList so perhaps we can get more people to read along this year. I’ll release the first couple of boards sometime this week.

Any questions?

Thanks.

Patty

Sure. There are really no hard & fast rules here. Everyone who tells me they’ve completed a “READO” gets their name put in for the monthly drawing, so everyone has a chance. The whole purpose of these challenges is to get people to read things they normally wouldn’t.

I just uploaded 2 READO boards to the Photos section of this group - one for Experiences and one for World Lit. There will be more added over the next few days.

Have fun!

Thanks to Ash Arnstrong, I just put together a board for Women Authors. What others would you like to see?

I'd love to see a board for Authors of Color

Good one. How about a Teen Author one?

Mary Ann | 11 comments How about a non-fiction board including such topics as science, history, memoir or biography, and authors like Mary Roach or David McCullough?
