2015 Reading Challenge [Closed] discussion

The list is almost complete!

1. A book from the Goodreads Choice Awards 2015 (winner or nominated)
2. A book you meant to read in 2015, but didn't
3. An identity book - a book about a different culture, religion, or sexual orientation than your own
4. A book about an anti hero

The mods have also discussed the 52nd topic and have decided to make that theme:
- A suggestion that did not make it into the final list

We also decided to allow a wild card. So each person can switch out one theme during the challenge and replace it with a different suggestion.

That means the next poll will be the final opportunity to make suggestions! This batch will open on Sunday, October 18.

woo! that much closer to next years challenge...man, I need to catch up on this one! haha

Wow, 3 of my votes made the list (the 2nd was 7th so it's good too and not a difficult topic).
I'm looking forward to see the suggestions for the last poll!

The 2nd one will be the easiest one of all - I have loads and loads that I'll never get to read before the end of the year. :)

I am super excited about this list. It's the first time my top four made the final. So exciting!!!

I can't believe our last poll will be here soon.

Yey, my suggestion made the list, AND three of the ones I voted for made the list. This is awesome, since I'm usually on a completely different page than others. So happy!

Also, love that one of the themes is an earlier suggestion that didn't make the list. And yey, wild card!

So glad the anti hero made it! I suggested it twice in previous polls and it didn't get selected, so I had given up on it, but I'm glad someone else suggested it and it got picked!

Where can we find the Goodreads Choice Awards 2015? I can't seem to find 2015, only previous years, unless it hasn't actually happened yet?

It hasn't happened yet Peter. They won't do that until closer to the end of the year/beginning of next year.

**I just looked and last years voting didn't take place until November. So maybe next month we'll be able to browse the nominee's and pick one.

I believe the voting occurs in November and the winners are announced in December. But someone correct me if I'm wrong :)

I didn't know that it had been suggested before, I was inspired by a list I saw here on goodreads. Happy for you that it finally god picked. :)

Ok cool. That makes sense as there is still a few months left of 2015.

Only 1 of my top choices made it but the other 3 were good suggestions as well. My bottom ones didn't make it so that makes me happy.

Will we have a list somewhere of the suggestions that did not make the list? I love this idea, by the way.

Yes Joy, we'll do a clean suggestions list as soon as the final weeks list is done. We'll do posts like the actual "introduction post" so the list will be added there.

Oh no, my least favourite one made the cut - I'm sure I can find something to fit it though in my four-figure TBR list.

I can't believe how close we are to finishing this list! I'm already so excited for next years challenge, it's going to be so good!

I'm working on the list and we'll have around 200 choices for "A suggestion that didn't make it"! :)

200 ?!?!! We've been creative! I'm impressed, congrats guys!
