What's with the Yearly Challenges?

[Samantha]

For the Yearly Group Reads, you have many choices to pick from! All of the challenges have their own set of guidelines, so look for them inside the threads. All you have to do is select your level of participation and declare it in the the thread of the challenge that you are participating in. The challenges last all year, but be sure to update your progress in the threads once in a while to keep everyone updated!

If you would like to suggest a challenge, do so in this thread and we can probably work something out!

You're also allowed to participate in more than one challenge if you like! A lot of them will overlap with each other, so it won't be too daunting!

What about a mythology yearly challenge?

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}]

That's a good idea!! I shall see what Sam thinks too~

[Rinji]

Sounds good to me. I just thought it would be interesting and I have a few mythology books I would like to read and a challenge would help me get started on them. :D

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}]

It does sound interesting :) I know I always get a mythology book or two! It might be a little late to put it up as a yearly challenge but not too late!

[Rinji]

Right. It could be put up for next year or something.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}]

Yep we could do that or perhaps make a space for additional challenges or even add it to this year but put in a small reading load for the levels :)

[Rinji]

That works too.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}]

:)!

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}]

Rinji! Hey, sorry I nearly forgot to mention that Sam and I discussed a mythology challenge and decided we'll put one up :)!

[Rinji]

Yay!

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}]

Here's the thread :))) : https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Rinji]

Thank you.

[Samantha]

How is everyone doing with their challenges? I've completed almost all my challenges already!

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}]

That is a good question actually! How is everyone going?

I'm getting through most of mine, totally couldn't keep up with the monthly one though!

[Samantha]

I'm thinking I might need to add more challenges next year! Also, I've already started thinking about some new challenges!

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}]

lol I'm thinking of cutting down :p and editing the monthly challenge (I'm kind of glad I've/I'm test running it). Ooohhh new challenges ey?

[Samantha]

Well this year was our test run, so we can edit challenges and eliminate or add challenges. And yes! I've had a few ideas pop up. I'll compose a list sometime and send it to you

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}]

Indeed, it was! Excellent, send it when you're ready :), I've got a few ideas on editing of existing challenges--in particular the monthly one--and a few other things which I'll pop into my pm when I reply next!

[Samantha]

How are people doing with their challenges? Anybody finished with all of them?

[Rinji]

I am finished with all but one. I have two books to read in the A-Z challenge and I will be done. And I just found two books for those letters. Hopefully I like them. :D

[Samantha]

You've done great! I'm glad that you did find books for those letters. Those are tough letters! Good luck reading! I think I'm almost complete with all of mine minus maybe one.

[Rinji]

Ahh. Well, I wish you luck. :D I am excited as I started about six months late into the year.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}]

I just realised I need to check my Yearly challenge, but I think I have some missing letters :/.

[Rinji]

Ahh. Good luck.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}]

Hehe thanks!

[Rinji]

You are welcome. :D

[Rinji]

Another question. I figured this question fits here. Are the yearly challenges going to change or have you guys not figured that out yet?

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}]

We have been in discussions, but again, we shall let the members of QBC know via announcement later today :)
