Second Chance Challenges discussion

JANUARY 2020 CHALLENGE CLEAN UP
Date: 01/01/20 - 01/31/20



Let's kick off 2020 with a bit of a clean- up goal. This is kind of like a read-a-thon...with a twist. The goal is to help us complete a difficult challenge - or one that has been lingering for a while :)

To Start: You will need to pick a specific "target" to work on...a challenge that is proving difficult to finish, a challenge that needs just a few books to complete....any reading challenge you've been working on for some time, but haven't been able to finish.

Please Note: You are welcome to use just a section of a specific challenge if you prefer. For example: If you are working on the Ben & Jerry's Challenge, and you have just a letter or two (or more) to complete a certain flavor, you are welcome to use that as your challenge clean up goal.

Next: Post your specific target or goal below, and you are ready to get started.

The Twist: If this target or goal isn't completed during the month of December, you will have to "carry it over" into January. Don't worry....if you choose something that proves impossible, you can "scratch" it (remove it from your list) and move on to the next challenge you need to finish.

This worked pretty well for me last time, so I'll try it again.

This time I'm going to target a very old challenge I have lingering for the RRRC group. It was the 2015 Countdown Challenge, and ended 12/31/15! I need ONE book - a romance book originally published in 2006.

Sounds like a great plan, Sam! Welcome to the challenge clean up!!
