I also get them every year. Why not add 10 more e-books? lol.

Goodreads made this annoying change last year and it has affected a lot of group moderators badly, especially who are trying to set up team and individual challenge threads in groups that do reading challenges

My answer isn't official since I'm not over it, but I have posted late ones before because I was stuck in a book or taking a nap, etc., and didn't see the prompt in time. They may not officially count posted late, I don't know, but I march in my own parade in life anyway lol

If I remember, they post each prompt at the top of the hour. And it doesn't really matter when you post, since it's not for a prize or anything, just for fun!

Yes! The instagram picture challenges are now up on our Instagram page and also you can find it on Twitter. Also you don't need to read the books that you use for the challenges! For example, there is a challenge for make a building with books which will require a few books but there is no need to use books you've read.

You can do either! Some of the challenges this time will take a little more time so you can definitely post at the end of the hour if needed. You can even post late if you miss the time. I do haha!
