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!

I’m going to attempt the 2023 Popsugar Reading Challenge, so can you put me down for 50, please.8/50
all by Elle Kennedy - these were all Kindle editions and I'm keeping them
by Kathleen Bacus - 3rd book in the series and I just couldn't connect with the characters because of all the backstory that I wasn't aware of, so I donated it
by Kathy Lette - I accidentally caught a glimpse of the average rating as I was adding it to my currently reading list and it's abysmal, so I decided that it wasn't worth the time and donated it
by Robert Wainwright - enjoyed the book, but it's not one I'd read again, so I donated it
by Carl Hiaasen - really enjoyed it and I've put other books by the author on hold at the library, but I didn't feel the need to keep the book on my shelf, so it's been donated
I'm going to start with a total goal of 40 please...it will be a mix of physical and ebook, but I'd prefer to not set a goal for each.Progress: 6/40
