Let's Turn Pages - 2020Our most popular challenge, Let’s Turn Pages, returns once again in 2020!
The GoodReads Reading Challenge lets you aim at reading a certain quantity of books during a year. This challenge, however, doesn’t care at all about how many books you read. Here, it’s all about how many pages you turn in 2020.
Getting Started
1. Make a goal of the number of pages you aim to read and let the challenge leader know.
Also post that goal in your original sign-up post.
2. Do your best to reach that goal by the end of 2020. You can always raise or lower your goal to accommodate your personal circumstances. Just let the challenge leader know.
3. There’s no need to plan out all your books in advance.
Just be sure to keep track of the books you read and their page count.
- - - -
Updating Your Progress
Please track your ongoing progress in your original sign-up post, adding up your total pages read. Use the format below:
Sample Post:
Progress: 1,004/10,000 pages
The Picture of Dorian Gray: 254
Cloud Atlas: 509
The Children of Men: 241
Posting Update Comments
To have your progress updated on the Participants list, please post an update comment. Be sure to include both your message number and progress as follows:
Updated msg #10: 1,004/10,000
FAQs
*If GoodReads doesn’t show a page count for your edition (as with audiobooks), simply use the page count of the most popular non-audiobook edition.
*Rereads also count for this challenge, but you need to read the entire book. No skimming!
*Has your progress not been updated on the Participants list?
Please note that, in order to update this challenge twice monthly, I will not be checking your original posts.
When you post an update comment, include both your message number and progress (not just your message number).
Also check to make sure that your original post includes your total progress using the “pages read/pages pledged” format (this is just for backup).
*Updating schedule: The Participants list will be updated regularly, on the 16th of each month (for Days 1-15) and the 1st of the next month (for Days 16 to month end).
*If you change your Goodreads name, please let the challenge leader know via an update comment or by a direct message, only so we can keep your progress updated accurately
IMPORTANT!
If you decide to leave this challenge, please simply edit your original post to say “Withdrawn,” but do not delete your post. Deleting a post changes every subsequent message number, which is confusing for all. Thank you!
Let’s read great books and have fun with this challenge!
How many pages will we have turned as a group by the end of 2020?

Clear the Shelves - 2020CLEAR YOUR BOOKSHELVES CHALLENGE Duration: January 1, 2020 - December 31, 2020
This challenge is a way to clean out all of your bookshelves: your physical, your electric, and your audible ones! The books you read for this challenge are books that are already in your possession. Whatever you do for this challenge, you are not allowed to read a book obtained after December 31, 2019 unless you have read at least 5 books you already own.
Here are some ideas on how to choose your books:
1. Read a book that you borrowed from a friend and want to return when finished.
2. Read a book that you have had for two+ years and haven't started.
3. Read a book you have started, set aside for awhile, and now want to finish.
4. Read a book that you own that will help towards a yearly challenge.
5. Read a book from your shelf then donate it to your local Little Free Library, church, shelters, Goodwill, etc.
