Hello, there are some books i didn’t write any reviews. Is it ok to post them or do i have to add something else?

I think you are required to have a written review for each book for it to count. I’ve done one for each book in the challenge.
I saw a response from moderator that she needed more on a review for it to count early on, so I have made sure my reviews are more than 2 or 3 sentences, that they actually say something of substance, and all of my books except for the 5 new ones I posted just recently have been counted.
It looks like our team won. Yay!
Yes, We all did great.Congratulations everyone!!
We did a great job guys! Congratulations!
Hey EveryoneFirstly CONGRATULATIONS!! you guys were amazing
Now I have decided that we all can together decide the theme of the next challenge.
I think we should do something New Year-related, drop all your ideas here. we can finalize some good 2 or 3 options, then I'll talk to other mods and tell you guys the final theme, bonus everything.
Also, u guys get to know about the challenge earlier than the great so you guys can prepare yr tbr list accordingly
Here are some options:- A backlist books challenge where we only read books published prior to 2022 (so no new releases) so that we can try to clear out our TBRs.
- A series reading challenge where we read books that are part of a series to try and cut out a chunk of our TBRs. Or any book could work but the poster gets bonus points if the book is part of a series. (If it is first in a series then one bonus point, the second book in a series is two bonus points, and so on. There could also be more bonus points if a poster reads ALL the books in a series and posts them during the challenge.)
- A New Year's Resolution challenge with prompts associated with different popular New Year's Resolutions. For example:
*LOSE WEIGHT - Read a book that is 500 pages or more.

Those are the resolutions that I could come up with but I am sure there are more. These prompts could also be changed if the group decides on this kind of challenge. These are just what I could come up with on the fly. =P

Vanessa i'm taking yr list for the annual challenge.It's really good:)Now do we have suggestions for the next monthly challenge?

Sounds good. =)
For the monthly challenge, we could do a backlist book challenge where we read books published prior to 2022 to try and knock them off our TBR? Or a backlist challenge where you get extra points based on the book's releases date? The older the book, the longer it has been on your TBR, the more bonus points you get. For example:
a book published in 2021 - 1 bonus point
a book published in 2020 - 2 bonus points
a book published between 2015 and 2019 - 3 bonus points
a book published between 2010 and 2014 - 4 bonus points
a book published between 2000 and 2009 - 5 bonus points
any book published prior to 2000 (1999 and before) - 10 bonus points
I can't think of anything else at the moment but I will keep thinking. =P

I love this idea of a backlist books challenge. I have way too many I have put on my TBR and forgotten about. It would be like opening a present you'd stashed in a closet.
Backlist book challenge sounds great! Always sorry team I wasn't very active for the end of the challenge, I've had exams and been swamped!
I'm down for the backlist book challenge.
