We have been invited to be part of an amazing reading challenge based on the 2016 Olympics (being hosted in Rio de Janeiro).

We have six great groups hosting the 2016 Goodreads Olympic games.

Feel free to stop by any of the groups, see what they're about and join them if you'd like!

**PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS CHALLENGE WILL BE TAKING PLACE IN A SEPARATE GROUP, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO JOIN THE 2016 GOODREADS OLYMPIC GAMES GROUP TO TAKE PART**

Sign up HERE and follow the instructions to find your Olympic Dream.

We hope to see you there!

Okay, I signed up even though it's summer and I usually avoid thses sorts of things. I hope I don't have to read any vampire books or too much romance given two of the group names.

I don't think you do, Karin... if you check the Olympics groups, you can view the tasks for each Event and I reckon there's enough diversity to cater to everybody's tastes :)

And yay!! Good luck with the challenge!

Okay, not going to worry about it. I will have enough computer and reading time as I wait for my kids and once my middle one starts community college (a good one) and I have to wait there for her.

Parents' lives! all the waiting lol

Signed up too! Looking forward to it :0)

How do I link my profile to sign up for the Olympic Challenge? Thanks in advance.

Debi, on the right hand corner of your screen, you can see your avi. Hover your mouse over it and a menu will pop up. Click on 'View your Profile'. It will take you to your profile. Copy the html and that's what you need to provide on the sign up.

hope that helps :)

I'm in too.

woohoo! It's gonna be such fun!

I signed up in Google Docs but haven't heard anything...I thought I was going to get an invite to the group?

You don't need an invite, D.G.
You actually need to spin for your colour & read a book with 50% of that cover... Go to the opening ceremony thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

The sign up form will be used to sort teams/countries but spin the wheel for your colour.

I signed up to. I rolled Red.
