Help Needed! 2022 Pick a Title Out of a Hat

[Staci, Book Awards Specialist]

Pick a Title Out of Hat was a successful challenge this year. We want to continue it into the new year...with a twist.

As with this year's Pick a Title Out of a Hat Challenge, CFD members are asked to contribute their lists via Goodreads message. Send your message to me. The only glitch is if we are not Goodreads friends, Goodreads will not allow you to message me. Two remedies: Send me a friend request or comment on this thread that you are unable to message me and we'll find an alternative solution.

Now that we have the fine print covered...

For this year, the ask is for CFD members to put together a list of 5-10 books that you didn't get to in 2021, but really wanted to read. This could be a 2021 release, a book that's been lingering on your physical or virtual shelf for years, etc. Completely up to you on what fits the ask.

Once you have your list of 5-10 books, message your list to me (see fine print above).

Twelve lists will be selected to be shared with one member's list shared each month. The challenge will be for all participating members to select one (or more) from the list each month to read. This will be a great way to move books up the TBR for the submitting member and to receive a number of peer reviews.

Hope this sounds like a fun challenge. Let me know what questions you have. Look forward to seeing what makes your list of "forgotten books".

I love this idea! I sent the request.

[Staci, Book Awards Specialist]

Great Pegg! I don't have the Goodreads Friend Request yet, but Goodreads has been quirky lately.

I sent mine in too.

[Staci, Book Awards Specialist]

Great! We have two more months to fill and then we are all set for this challenge in 2022.

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

Is this now being called the 'Forgotten Titles' challenge? 🙂

[Staci, Book Awards Specialist]

It is Kate! Hope that isn't creating confusion. I can retitle the challenge.

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

I think the title's good, Staci. It's a new year with fresh challenges. We're just all sorting out in our minds which is which to begin, but we'll all likely have the hang of them before too long. :)

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

No! The title is fine . . . I actually like it a lot . . . I was just clarifying so I wasn't looking for a 'title out of a hat' challenge when there wasn't going to be one with that title. 🙂💖
