What books are you reading?

I've never done a challenge before so my question might sound silly.

You mentioned only the books in the special folder will count. Let's say we pledge to read and review 5 books. Are we allowed to put more books than five in that folder so if one really doesn't do it for us, we can just grab another one?

For example, put 8 books in the folder and read and review 5? Or if we pledge for 5 we need to have only 5 in there and read those 5?

Read as many as you like :)

I often set myself a target of 5-10 books depending on how busy I'll be and what other commitments I have, but I regularly exceed that.

On Halloween I challenged myself to read 10 books, but I didn't hit that target. But when I challenged myself the same for Christmas, I exceeded it.

Does any type of book count? Do you want more of a focus on newly published works?

I am currently reading The Diary of a 49er . I don't think that this is a topic that would be interesting to a large number of readers.
