Almeta has a challenge based on shelves, "Shelving Units". If there is something else that you want to do as a challenge, let Almeta know your idea. These are not Goodread's challenges. These are ours. We can set them up for any topic or criteria. So here's your opportunity to design a challenge. Go for it!

My goals for 2017:


Hear Ye Hear Ye - 0/65
Doorstops - 10
Oh Canada - 5
Home Alone - 5
Left Over Stew - 24 (left over geocache challenge from YLTO group)
Where's Your Card? - 20
Hot off the Press - 12
Back in the Saddle - 5

My goals for 2017:

Shelving Unit - 15
I tried for 20 last year and failed, so I revised downwards a bit. My chosen shelf is one I'm reading for work, so I really should complete this one!

Home Alone - 10
I finished this one successfully last year, so why not try again?

Rosetta Stone - 33
I read in three different languages, but English seems to be dominating lately. I'm hoping this one will motivate me to diversify a bit.

Good luck everyone!

My goals for 2017:

Waits for no one= 10
Home Alone= 50

Home Alone Is REALLY a challenge for me!☻

That's the problem I had with home alone... I often ended up buying books enough new books that I wasn't really making progress on the ones I owned at the beginning of the year.

I have 800 books owned that qualify for home alone, I still have not transfered them all onto my tbr because I can't import them from my
Nook, have to do them individually. That being said, I'll be doing home alone for years!

Me, too. I doubt I will ever finish reading all the books I own.

√ Edingus 20
