Second Chance Challenges discussion

2018 Genre Countdown Challenge
Date: 01/01/18 - 00/00/00

This challenge is based on a challenge originally posted in the RRRC Group. A very big thank you to Fran and the moderators of the Romance Readers Reading Challenges group for allowing us to use their challenge.

To complete the challenge, choose a favorite genre and your level of participation, and read the corresponding number of books published in those years. The genre you choose must show on the book's main page in order to count. The year published can be either the year the book was originally published, or it can be the year of the edition you read. You are welcome to change your level of participation at any time.

Levels of Participation:
Level 1 = 2002 - 2010 + 2018 = 72 Books
Level 2 = 2013 - 2018 = 93 Books
Level 3 = 2010 - 2018 = 126 Books
Level 4 = Extreme Level = 2001 - 2018 = 171 Books

So this is an open-ended challenge, jingles?

Barb wrote: "So this is an open-ended challenge, jingles?"

Right Barb, it is open ended. No deadline on the finish date. But because it centers around 2018, I wanted the challenge to start January 1, 2018 - eliminating any backdating.

My reasoning for that is because it is an open ended challenge - I didn't want someone to come in and backdate a challenge I just posted and use books from however long back they wanted to go. I don't see the challenge in that.

Does that make sense, or is it confusing with the date shown above?

***** CHALLENGE COMPLETE 10/15/19 *****

Welcome to the challenge, Barb!

Thanks, jingles! The hard part is going to be remembering that only mystery/thriller books count for this one :)

I know what you mean, Barb. I've got "Historical Fiction" in very, very big, bright read letters right above my challenge on my tracking sheet so that I don't forget.

A very small update. I completed the 2001 section.

✔1. Murder on Gramercy Park|Victoria Thompson|01.31.18|★★★

WTG jingles!

Thanks, Barb!

Not sure how I missed this one, but I'm in! I think I'll try to be a little more realistic and do Level 2.

Oh my goodness! Suzanne, I do apologize for the delay. This just came across my feed last night. I have you all linked up now though.

Welcome to the challenge!!

You choose a genre....like Fiction, Mystery or something like that. Then for each year, you read the corresponding number of books. The catch is, the books you read for the challenge must have that genre shown on the book's main page.

So if you pick Fiction, then each book you read for the challenge must have Fiction showing on the book's main page.

Does that help?

jingles, are we doing 19 for 2019? I wasn't sure whether you were adding it, since this originally started in 2018. I left a spot just in case. Thanks! :)

Tari, you are very welcome to add 2019 to your challenge if you would like to, but you don't have to. It's just whatever you prefer :)

(PS...Can you email me here through Goodreads? I tried to send you a message about a challenge update in Wacky, but it won't let me.)
