Suggestions and Discussions for the Dragons and Jetpacks 2024 Reading Challenge

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Hit me with your ideas. I can reuse as many as people like from 2023, but I'm always open to new suggestions.

My thought is once again make it 100 slots, with the "victory conditions" being completing 52 of them, or one per week.

So what would y'all like to see?

2024 is the year of the dragon, so... dragon cover and dragon character.

2024 published, 1924 published.

I still love the monsters section the most. I can't think of a new one to add.

Hiya! So, I had a couple of thoughts.

First, since there are already items on cops, criminals and pirates being on the cover or a main character of a book, why not also add astronauts/cosmonauts and maybe something else, like cowboys or scientists and make it its own little section, something like Casual Fridays (I suck at naming things, so, that's just a lame example).

The other thought I had was for ya'll to keep the 23 section, only of course this time would be 24, and it could keep the 24 books in the same genre and switch up the other item for some variety, say, read a duology, read a multiple author anthology, or read a graphic novel/comicbook, maybe that last one could be a book that aligns with the same genre as the 24 books item.

That's it, have a great week and thanks for all your hard work!

Last call. I have the challenge set for next year, but I can make changes/additions if I get them soon.

[C.E.C.]

Hiya! I'm assuming this will continue to be the discussion thread for the challenge during 2024 too, so I'll be asking here, hope it's not a bother!
I was wondering for the Read a trilogy item: if I'm reading a trilogy off a single volume book, do I just mention it in the thread, or do you guys recommend I read a trilogy that's all three separate books? Because I wanna re-read The Hunger Games trilogy and add it for that item, but it's from a single volume ebook and not the classic separate editions.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

I don't see a problem with it being a collected edition.

[C.E.C.]

Thank you v much!

I was forgeting to ask but, we can still fill up to two different slots with a single book, right?

That is within the guidelines, yes.

I just joined for the first time this year. Where are the rules posted?

I'm not sure there's a posting for them. Pretty much read a book that satisfies each challenge slot. If you have any questions, feel free to post and/or message me.

Ok thanks!

1. Do graphic novels count or only prose?
2. Is there a page length requirement to count?

Not for this one. It's a lot looser and more laid back than the superhero one. Read what you want that fits the slot, and have fun.
