Trisha (trishabisen) | 2389 comments THE LISTOPIA CHALLENGE
Duration: January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2021

Listopia is back for yet another year! Feel free to carry on your goal from the previous years, or to start fresh with new goals and new lists.

Goodreads features a number of user-created lists which can be found here

In addition to the featured and popular lists on the main page, you can see lists your friends have voted on or search for lists with topics that interest you.

The number of lists you choose and the number of books you read from each is entirely up to you. One person might choose to read the Top 100 books from one list, another person may choose to read the Top 5 books from 10 lists. You can mix it up any way you like.

Posting a link to your chosen lists is not required, but it does help others find the list you are referring to if they want to check it out as well! If you do want to post a link, here are the instructions:

1. Find your list and copy the URL (which can be found at the top of your browser - the box with the website address)
2. When posting your comment in the comment box, the code you use to add a link is this: [a href="URL HERE"]Name of list here[/a]
3. Replace the []s with <>s and paste the URL in place of URL HERE.

Happy Reading!

Trisha (trishabisen) | 2389 comments How to Participate:

1. Post here telling the challenge leader that you'd like to join the challenge. You can choose your books for the challenge at the beginning, or add them as you go. You can join a challenge at any time, as long as the challenge is still active. You must choose a goal for the challenge.

2. Whenever you finish a book for the challenge, post here and let the challenge leader know so they can update your progress. Please be sure to post the number of books you have completed and the number of your original message every time you post an update.

The challenge leader is not able to keep track of your total number of books for you because of the number of participants in the challenge. The number of the original post is used to identify you, as there can be many members with the same name. The challenge leader will not look at this post to track your progress.

Example:
message 32 updated! 2/25 books read!

For more information about how challenges work, check out this thread or ask your challenge leader.

P.S. Please do not delete posts! It makes updating very confusing for the Moderators! If you decide to leave the challenge, please just let us know. You can edit your original post to say {redacted}. Thank you!

Hi Leena, welcome! You will need to declare your goal at this stage - just the number of books and lists that you want to read as part of this challenge. You can set up a tentative goal for now if you’re unsure and can request your challenge leader (that’s me!) to update it if you want to increase/decrease your goal in the future.

Please read the first post of this thread for more details. :)

Yes Alyana, you can update your list(s) throughout the time period of the challenge, however, you need to set up a goal (which you’ve already done - good job!) and let your challenge leader know if you decide to increase or decrease your goal in the future. So happy to have you here! :)
