I do not know who originally made this for 2022, but I updated it for 2023, if it was you, please take credit! I loved it! <3

Thank you to whomever made this!!!!! How do I get this into Google Sheets? I’m on my phone right now and cannot figure out how to copy it into Google sheets.

Just the list of prompts? I think you'd have to use a computer, the app probably won't support copy-paste of this magnitude. We also have some different versions on our website and under Files on Facebook that might be easier.

Thanks. Lindsay. I will check those out. Love the idea of a spreadsheet to keep track.

[stephanie]

I love having the recommendations for this :) Seeing as I am looking at a crazy year with a new job in my future I am cutting my book goal to 40 books (from home) I look forward to choosing 40 of these prompts and taking on the challenge! Good luck to everyone!

Hey thanks for creating this. Creative way to keep track of my books this year. I may not always post to all 50+ prompts but I keep track on my own.

[Natalie]

Any recommendations for the "enemies to lovers" prompt that ISN'T a romance? Perhaps as a sub-plot.
I just can't bring myself to read romance novels of any kind.
Many thanks!

[Frances]

I am going to read Sarah Winman's Still Life for my book club. I can't see which prompt it might fit under - any ideas please?

a lot of Sci-fi and fantasy have this as a sub-plot. fantasy example: The Fifth Season Sci-fi example: This is How You Lose the Time War
I've also noticed it in action-mysteries like the Stephanie Plum books or the Sookie Stackhouse series but maybe that's more of a snark and sass then enemies situation (?)

Perhaps number 51? 😁

[Nike]

Is there any place - apart from the spreadsheet which doesn't work on cellphone - to publish our lists and the prompts which we have completed? I haven't got any functioning laptop for now and it's impossible (for me anyhow) to use the spreadsheets in various groups on my cellphone.

We do have a "share your list" discussion thread (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) where you can post the list then edit it as you add more books, but I don't like using Goodreads on my phone so I'm not sure how helpful that is for you. I use good ol' pen & paper when not near a computer, or maybe use the Notepad in your phone for a low-tech list?

[Kristine]

Hi Everyone 💕I just joined this Challenge since I love them. See if I have Read Any Books for the Prompts so far in 2023. Add those, then see if I can finish.

[Denise]

I was not sure where to post this, but I finished the 2023 Challenge today.

This was a great exercise to read new genres, authors, and topics.

Five books highly exceeded my expectations: Dinosaurs, The Faraway World, Mouth to Mouth, The Dry, and The Palace of Illusions.

Our Missing Hearts, The Perfumist of Paris, and Kindred were fantastic books by three of my favorite authors.

I will definitely read more books by these eight authors.

Today I finished book number 350 which is an all-time high for me. I do believe this challenge pushed me to read more books this year.
