Do we need to read the books in order?

[[deleted user]]

I’m on book 5 for the challenge and I reserved the book I really want to read from the library, but I’m hold number 5 and they only have two copies so it could be a month or more before it’s ready for me. Can I move on to book number 6 and then just come back to 5 when it’s ready?

I hope not. I've read them out of order. I don't see anywhere in the rules that this is an issue.

I don't think it's necessary to read in order. I didn't last year, and I am not this year.

Ugh. NO! I would never consider participating if we HAD to read them in order! :)

These reading challenges are supposed to be fun. So, unless you derive some sort of reading pleasure from completing the tasks in sequence; throw caution to the winds and read out of order with reckless abandon. Rage against the machine! Be bold! ;-)

No! Read in any order you like.
