Mark Twain House's Reading Challenge discussion
Reading Challenge!

Greetings, all! I'm an Ohio high-school English teacher who has attended two Twain summer workshops at the house and museum. I'm a sci-fi/fantasy fan at heart, which makes "Connecticut Yankee" one of my Twain faves, but I also love "Innocents Abroad." Otherwise, Joe Lansdale, Stephen King, Terry Pratchett, Ray Bradbury, and Charles Dickens are my go-to authors. In addition to Twain, my favorite books: Thomas Berger's "Little Big Man," Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," Robert McCammon's "Boy's Life," King's "The Stand," and Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes."

We are so happy you were able to join us previously for our summer workshops. We love your Twain faves. What are you reading currently? Thanks for joining our reading challenge!
Hi! How do you add a book to the “group shelf”?
Re: adding a book to the group bookshelf. - You have to log into Goodreads from a computer/tablet browser, it can’t be done from the app. Once you log in, go to the group and there is a group bookshelf button.

A friend sent me the info about your book challenge. My personal reading goal in a Goodreads is 150 books this year and I’m up to about 95 (I’m semi-retired and work at a library so I read lots of book). I saw in your description that you’d like us to add all our books from our Goodreads account to your challenge as well, but I’m an old lady who is technically challenged so I gave no idea how to do that. Can you send me directions? Thanks! Janet Smith

Hi Janet! Welcome to the group, thank you for joining! Margaret was kind enough to explain how to do it through goodreads in a comment above. You can also add books through our google form which will help us reach our goal:
