If you have a list (even if incomplete) of what you plan to read for the challenge post it here. You can edit it as time goes on if you need to. That way we can see what others are planning for their year. Don't worry if you haven't picked your books yet, either. Some people are planning all books in advance, some aren't. Do what is right for you to have fun with this challenge.

As you finish a book you can either put a * or a √ next to it to show how many you've read so far. To get a checkmark on a PC hold the Alt key and type 251. On a Mac hold the Option key and type "V". You can also copy and paste the checkmarks I've made √ √ ✔
To do strikethrough text like this you type this first < s > then the text you'd like a line through then this < /s > but take out the spaces.

Tip from the mods: (browser only, unfortunately) once you're done posting, click on the date/time in the upper right hand corner of your post, then bookmark it to easily get back to your post.

I have put both lists onto one post to simplify things for those doing both. If you are only doing the 40 books on the regular list you don’t have to copy over the 10 advanced prompts.
