MARCH 2020 CHALLENGE CLEAN UP
Date: 03/01/20 - 03/31/20



It's time for March's clean up challenge! Take a look at your challenges and decide what needs to be cleaned up and marked off your list next. 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.

I know what you mean, Tari, I find this challenge to be helpful too. Somehow it's easier to focus on a few books at a time that I need to finish or move along specific challenges. And writing them down (as yet another challenge!) makes it work for me.

Congrats on reaching your monthly goals!

Thanks, Connie! Oh I definitely agree about having them written down, makes me more accountable I guess. Every time I go through the Word doc I use for challenges, I'll tuck away an idea for next month's challenge here! I won't go for too many though, 3 was pushing it LOL

Now if I could just apply all this to my physical "stuff" (think of George Carlin's stuff skit) that needs dejunked, I'd have it made !

**Off to look up George Carlin's stuff skit...

Well done, Tari! April's will be posted soon.

You all are amazing. I still have my unfinished cleanup from January, which I was supposed to move to February...which I never did and therefore didn't finish during February....which I was then supposed to move to March...which I've not done, nor have I yet even found the book to read. Yikes!!

Keeping up with all of us and holding down what sounds like a demanding day job is a lot to juggle, and we really appreciate you a lot!

She's definitely our inspiration!

You all are so sweet. I'm just like most everyone else around Goodreads...I'm addicted to reading challenges, and I don't like to do them alone. So, I just drag you all along with me. Lol.

Tari...I've corrupted you. Lol. You probably just used to read a book. Now, you are tracking down all these books needed for all these challenges.

Connie, every time I see a spell out posted (or post a spell out), I look for you! Lol. I'm hoping you are going to be right there with me :)

You know I'll be there, Jingles. I'm just as much of an addict as you are.

LOL, jingles! I hope by using my little gray cells a little bit harder now that I'll keep myself from brain collapse down the road. :) Not to mention it's pretty fun looking for books that fit challenges. I have yet to feel the need to buy one special though, no worries, mostly from TBR, if not that, they're ARCs.

I'm very happy with my progress this month!
