This may seem like a silly question, but I'm wondering if we are obliged to place the books in the month they are released, or the month they are read?I find some months with a glutton of books that interest me, and some months with none (so far). Also, it will be difficult to read December published books in December. Some of them come out very late in the month. So I may want to read 6 from one month and 2 from another, but still end up with 8 books.
Question 2 - I'm seeing books on the new released list that I read last year. Does the term 'new release' mean 'upon the release of any format of this book' or is it referring to the initial release of the book to the purchasing public?
Sorry, I just want to get it right!
I don't mean to imply that I was looking at some official list, but rather that searching a TBR shelf by publication date is only accurate for the specific edition on the list. If the hardcover is released in Dec14 and the paperback in may15, then the book can show up as May15 when it was a new release in Dec14.I'm still not clear, if we have to read the January book in January and so on. I may not have access to January releases in January. Reading out of order is acceptable?
Let's face facts: ever since I joined this group there wasn't a single challenge I managed to complete: I either got side tracked, was too lazy to add the books I've read (happens), wasn't in the mood, or said something stupid and was too ashamed to return to the topic. So, knowing my history with challenges, I'm not expecting anything. Heaven knows I would be surprised if I'd manage to consistently read one new release a month, but I have to try, because I damn sure don't wanna sit out another Goodreads Awards.

Regina wrote: "but I have to try, because I damn sure don't wanna sit out another Goodreads Awards" This may be one of may main reasons for this challenge. It was difficult for me to read enough of the nominees to feel comfortable saying 'I love this one the very best'. In truth, I have read and partially read enough of the books through the years to realize that it's only partially about the contents of the book, and another part is about the quality of the summary and the cover, and another part is hard-core fans making the effort to vote.
Still, I'm a GCA fan and I've found some stars from the list over the years, so I'll do my effort to be a better reader/voter.
My library has a printed list of upcoming book releases for spring and for fall. What they don't have is the same listings online. GRRRRR Does anyone know of an online equivalent ?

Cynthia wrote: "I don't mean to imply that I was looking at some official list, but rather that searching a TBR shelf by publication date is only accurate for the specific edition on the list. If the hardcover is ..."Reading them whenever is fine. They only have to be released that month.

A question before I decide on my level: From last year I know that I do not have the same amount of new releases I want to read every month. If I decide on 3 books a month and have 4 or 5 books in one month but only 2 in another, does this count? In the end I should reach 36 books, right?
Nicole wrote: "A question before I decide on my level: From last year I know that I do not have the same amount of new releases I want to read every month. If I decide on 3 books a month and have 4 or 5 books in ..."Based on the rules I'd say it's supposed to be consistent throughout the year. Though in my opinion you're welcome to modify the challenge to suit your own desires.
Maybe do 2 books a month and then add a bonus section for overflow from certain months?
