Super, Carmen! Welcome to this challenging challenge.

Songs for the 50 States

[Jane]

I would like to take part in this but I am unsure what the timeframe is? In the Title it says "you set the pace" but in the very first post it say one year from start date.

I have tried to do it before and I know there is no way I will be able to do it in a year, maybe not even two.

[Lisa Kay]

That's why we changed it in the title, Jane. It is difficult even for someone who reads around 300 books a year to finish this one in that amount of time. I know I couldn't do it, and I read about 200 per year.

I think I'm going to try it again and shoot for a year and a half.

[Lisa Kay]

This challenge was set up by a member who hasn't commented since 2011, so it can't be changed.

[Jane]

Thank you Lisa Kay. I will join later today then.

[Lisa Kay]

Neat, Jane!

[Jane]

I am in.

I will do this as an open challenge, no deadline.
