TBR Jar was kinda helpful. I always bite off too much for yearly challenges anyway, lol. I think TBR Jar was the only one on the list I had experience with, maybe I did Listopia too. That was a good one.
I really liked August’s Opposites Attract monthly challenge and would love to see that one return as either a yearly or quarterly challenge (to give a little more time to find pairings).

I'm not exactly sure what your question is.
If you look at the first post, you'll see a list of 10 yearly challenges. Those will appear on the poll that opens on 30 Sep and you can vote for one of them. There's a link to a guide where you can read very short descriptions of all 15 of the 2021 yearly challenges and follow links to read their challenge rules.
I'm not sure if you're trolling me or not, but the info is in the second paragraph.The remaining 10 yearly challenges are ((in alphabetic order): A Better World, Book Club, Color Challenge, Genre Bingo, Give Us a Clue, Global Voices, Listopia, Magical Mystery Tour, Spell a Better World, and TBR Jar.
The Opposites Attract/Soulmates challenge from August was very popular. Many of us mentioned to TerryJane we wished we could do it again and maybe for a longer span of time than a month. I think a year-long version or even a quarterly version would be very fun! :)
I would love to do a quarterly version of Opposites Attract/Soulmates.Edit: But I would do yearly version if that is what is chosen.
I really liked TBR Jar, and since I just picked up a dozen new books at the thrift store, this might be a decent start :)
I never finish it but I always enjoy the Colour Challenge.
I was not around when the last ones were here but i went to look and noticed i would have loved to join the TBR Jar challenge
Hello folks!Just a gentle reminder of what kind of comments we hope to see in this thread allow me to re-post the bottom portion of the first post;
"[P]lease feel free to suggest ideas for additional yearly challenges for 2022 by posting comments in this thread. They can be past yearly, quarterly, or monthly challenges that you think would make a great yearly challenge, or something we have never done before. Yearly challenges should have around 20+ prompts, or the capacity for reading an equivalent number of books."
Two challenges I've enjoyed this year with other groups have been:1.) A-Z Author Challenge
2.) Book Recycling - in which you read books only that you recycle (ie: library books, second hand purchases, books you complete then donate...)
Reed wrote: "I can't vote on the poll options"Reed, if you click on the poll link in the first post, you should see the list of yearly challenges. Click on one choice. After voting, you will then see The results of this poll have been hidden until Oct 15, 2021 11:59PM PDT. If that is what you're seeing when you click the link now, that means you already voted. There is an option on the left to change your vote, if you wish.
Tough choice! I really enjoy Book Club and the Color Challenge, but it came down to a choice between the Magical Mystery Tour and A Better World...
My favorite challenges this year have been: Magical Mystery Tour and Give us a clue 😍I'd like to do again a new edition of last year's "Find your flight"

Carmen,
I also dearly loved last year's Find Your Flight challenge, which was one of my 2020 favorites.
it's such as a flexible challenge, allowing us to incorporate multiple mini-challenges within it, such a specific author or locale, books over 500 pages long, a specific genre, a theme, and so forth.

I agree with you both. Find Your Flight was my vote in last year's poll, but, alas! *heavy sigh*

I voted for Find Your Flight last year, too.
I'm going to go back in time and suggest two quarterly challenges from 2020 that I enjoyed!Pinspiration
And one I hosted - Once Upon a Time
Both can be easily translated into any theme and style! They were fun and would be fun to do all year

I loved Find Your Flight last year too!
I've been thinking about the Author's Works challenge from a few years ago. Read as many books as you can (or as you want) by a particular author or a few particular authors. I keep finding new authors and adding all their books! I need an excuse to read them all!
Find Your Flight sounds wonderful, and could really be used the same way as Diverse Education.
Listopia for me. It allowed be to tailor a very goal specific challenge that I wanted to do.
It is great to hear which yearly and quarterly challenges y'all have enjoyed that weren't listed in the poll!
I really liked the TBR Jar. If it doesn't get in, I will personally still read some sort-by-random books from my TBR list, since I thought that was a fun way to figure out what to read next.

I'm in the same boat SaraKat! :)
I participated in this one in 2019, the first year I became active in this group and enjoyed it so much that I continued it on my own the last couple of years. I look for an author that I haven't read before or one that I've only read 1 or 2 books by and then make a list of their books.
I voted, but there were 3 I really liked, so it was hard to choose only one of them!

I think this would be a lot of fun! That's how I read...I find a new (to me) author and read the bleep out of a ton of their books!
