Thank you!"

Have you looked at the ongoing In Uniform Challenge? There is no limit to how many times you do it.

My interest isn't with the time, a yearly challenge would last a year, it's just that I wanted a theme for each month, but something more generic than what I've seen and organized yearly, not monthly where I need to read more than 1 book.
Thank you, I'll look into the monthly challenges to see if any catches my eye throughout the year.

Merry Christmas!

With the monthly you can just read a few books
Ie pick it for me - only have to read 1 book; FAC only have to read 1 book; yearly spread out how you want during the year etc

Honestly it sounds like you didn't really check out the group when you joined and now you want us to make new challenges to suit you when we already do many different ones (on avg 5 monthly challenges; multiple multi month/year ones)

[Sonia189]

I lurked before commenting and assumed other challenges might appear.
Thank you for your help.

[Dee]

you can get a pretty good idea of our standard challenges (that we run every year/month)

really the only variations you will see will be the quarterly - how they change (different themes); the random tournaments that we do; or the team games

[Sonia189]

Ok. Thank you.
I'll try one of the monthly ones in January.
Merry Christmas.

Thanks for posting your idea Laura! If you would like to write up a draft you can private message it to any of us Mods to take a look at. Or we can work on it together and put something together for next year :)

Looks like this hasn't been posted on in a while. But I had a couple ideas for challenges which may or may not be over the top. But here they go:

One would be a pick-for-me where people pick books for you like a regular pick-for-me but for each romance book you choose to read, you also read a Non-fiction book on a similar subject or title (if you are into non-fiction books that is)

For instance, if I read These Witches Don't Burn which is tagged as a Romance, I could also read The Witches Are Coming a book of feminist essays by Lindy West. I think it's a fun way to expand your mind and indulge your fantasies at the same time.

I was also thinking of an application challenge. A challenge where you don't just read the book but use the lessons learned in the book to motivate you to take a specific action in your life. For instance, I'm reading Get a Life, Chloe Brown which is centered around her making a bucket list of sorts.

Maybe in addition to reading the book, I make my own bucket list, maybe I take an action to complete one of the things she did on HER bucket list, like I make plans with a friend to go camping. Maybe you read a romance book where the theme is gratitude and you make a conscious effort to be grateful today. Something like that. Something where we can learn to get even more out of our romance reading.

These are just thoughts/suggestions. Idk.

I don't know if this has been suggested here or not but your challenge could be reading books with the same covers for a certain amount of books to be picked at the start of the challenge.
