ReMo - The Official Read More Challenge discussion

Here's the place where it all starts.

To qualify for the drawing, you need to complete at least five (5) books of 150 pages or more (and live within the U.S.). The only exception is if you are reading some epics, in which case we will accept 1,000 pages in completed books (sorry, no credit if you haven't made it to the last page)

Note: Please only ask for the entry based on pages if it's past the 15th of the month and you know you won't have time to get to five books. Thanks!

While setting an impossible goal can be a great challenge, just make sure you aren't setting it so high that you can't reach it and get an entry in the drawing. There's nothing keeping you from reading extra books once you reach your goal!

Here are some possible levels:

Mini-stack: 5 books
Half-stack: 6-10 books
Full stack: 11-15 books
Tower: 16-20 books
Leaning tower: 21-24
Falling stacks: 25+ books

Please use this format to announce your goals! (bold type for emphasis and not required) This is a sample post.

The link must be to a dedicated shelf on Goodreads. You may name the shelf anything you like, as long as it’s PG-rated. We like to keep our group clean. Thanks!

Various notes

Books must be 150 pages or more to count. If you are reading an audiobook or an ebook and cannot find a page count, you may claim the paperback or hardback page count. Otherwise we will go by the page count of your specific edition.

Thank you, Andrea! This has me really looking forward to February, and so far, there is nothing wrong with the links you've posted. :)

Thanks for letting me know. I'm excited that you're excited. That is practically half the point! (The other half being to read, read, read, of course.)

I'm in! This was so fun last year :D

Welcome, Lynne and Abigail Harder. I've got you gals linked up.

Andrea wrote: "Welcome, Lynne and Abigail Harder. I've got you gals linked up."

Awesome thanks Andrea! I am so excited about this challenge, I've already picked out the books I plan on reading and put them on my shelf. Is that ok to do or should I wait to add them as I finish them?

That's perfectly fine. When the mods check your list, we can sort by date read. Make sure you add the dates read to each book as you finish them in February, so we may be able to confirm that in your list. Reviews are optional, though.

Awesome! Thank you so much!! :)

heya! i'd love to join, last year was so fun!
Name: Victoria G. and i live in CA so i won't qualify for the giveaway, which is totally fine.
Goal: 5 books.

What does CA stand for? If it's California, that does indeed qualify for the giveaway. If it's not California, I'll be learning something. :)

I'm working on linking you up right now.

Victoria, I sent you a friend request so I can access your bookshelf to link you and also to confirm your books in February. Once you accept that request, I can get your shelf linked up in the participants thread. Thanks!

I won't send you spam messages or anything. Don't worry. :)

Canada, Andrea? At least I think from following Victoria that she lives in Canada but shipping isn't much more to Canada... No clue.

Thanks, Abigail! I always forget Canada may also be CA and not just California. :D

Sure thing, my knowledge may also come from my sister's obsession with When Calls The Heart, and the other series.

Sweet! I enjoy that show and the first book (haven't read the rest of the series yet).

I'm going to join again. :)

Angie, please check the shelf title you chose. It's 2019 (rather than 2020). I don't know if that makes a difference for your records. I have you linked up, but do let me know if you need me to tweak the shelf title.

Mikayla, I've got you linked up.
