You could post you challenge hereI really like this challenge so even if it's not picked for the group's monthly challenge I just might participate anyway. :)
Wow!! Great challenge, Sweetpea. I'm pretty sure us moderators can work with this. :) 26 is a lot to take on in a month, so maybe we can make it a quarterly challenge. Let me talk to the other mods!
Sweetpea, would you like to lead this challenge? We have decided to post your challenge as a January - March Quarterly challenge. :)

Great!! Thank you! I have it posted in the Quarterly section. Check it out and see if it looks alright. I have reserved a spot below it so I can link all participants to their own thread. Maybe that will be easeier for you to keep track of everyone's progress. As participants start signing up, I will get them added to the list. :)
This is an awesome idea, Sweetpea, and I'm super excited about it! I'm going to close this thread to prevent any confusion about which one is the posted challenge. The challenge is posted here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
