Tell Me (What challenge do you want to build?)

[Hannah]

Almeta, don't worry about it. All is well. It'll get fixed one day. And I officially have 1 out of for a few categories. Looking good so far.

[Hannah]

Not sure if you made one, but I have an idea. How about a challenge where you read books on your shelf with the same word. Not sure if I worded this correctly. I have tons of books with the word love in them. I thought maybe that could be a challenge to help me clear my TBR shelf. Not sure if it can work.

You could just use shelving unit for that (unless you're already using it for something else) since you'll have to put those books on another shelf that can't contain any books that aren't eligible for that challenge.

Hmmm, that's a good idea Deborah. I'll have to look at the shelving unit.

If Shelving Unit doesn't work for you Hannah, I'll create a different challenge for you.

Cute challenge idea by-the-way.

[Hannah]

Shelving unit should work, I think. Wasn't sure how to use that one. Now I do.

[Deborah]

I think shelving unit is good for personal challenges that wouldn't interest other people and for one time challenges that you wouldn't want to do every year.

I was looking through my existing shelves to find something for shelving unit and wondered if anyone else would be interested in a challenge for library books.

Do you know I only had 3 books listed as read from my home library for the 2013 challenge? This was supposed to be my major goal for 2013. Which means I neglected to shelve the ones I did read, and that the remainder read read came from the library. I have tried to keep myself from buying any more.

I've created a library challenge. Where's your card?

Good idea.

[Deborah]

Thanks!

It is not too early to suggest a new challenge for 2016, is it?

I'd like to have a challenge to re-read books, either old favorites or ones we hope to get more out of another time or whatever. Maybe call it "Revisiting" or "Back in the Saddle" or "Same Old, Same Old" or "Old Friends" or something else more creative.

[Almeta]

Now is the right time to consider new challenges.

Your suggestion is a good one. I'll set "Back In the Saddle" up at the first of the year.

Thank you!
