Do works need to be a certain length to count?
Mod
Not at all. Any length works. :)

Indeed, some of us(ie me!) walk on the really short book side of the bookshelf!!! :)
I’m Lynn, I live near Chicago, and I read a LOT of JAFF. My life is complicated so I’m going to attempt to be a Fanny Price. Hoping I can figure out how to track and post my books. Looking forward to being motivated to go back to reviewing books

Sounds great, Lynn! We're so glad to have you with us for the challenge. Cheering you on to Fanny Price level. If you need any help setting up a tracking spot here on GoodReads, let me know. But, if you want, you can start by listing your monthly reads under the Fanny Price level. :)
Anyone is welcome.
What counts:
-any medium of book (paper, electronic, audio)
-published or advanced reader copies or on-line stories
-works of Jane Austen, works about Jane Austen, works about the Jane Austen period, Jane Austen Fan Fiction, Austenesque (pretty much anything the reader feels has an Austen flavor)
Readers need to choose their challenge level and share choice in their introduction comment. Readers may progress to a new level at any time.
Level One Charlotte Heywood: 1-5 books
Level Two Marianne Dashwood: 6-10 books
Level Three Anne Elliot: 11-20 books
Level Four Catherine Morland: 21-50 books
Level Five Mr. Knightley: 51-75 books
Level Six Fanny Price 76-100 books
Level Seven Colonel Brandon: 101-150 books
Level Eight Emma Watson: 151-199 books
Level Eight Mr. Darcy's Library 200+ books
Set up a location to track your reading challenge. This can be by creating a specific shelf here on GoodReads or on your blog. For your convenience, an optional Challenge Tracker section is located at the bottom of the page where you may also choose to track your challenge books instead of a separate location.
Another option for tracking your challenge is to go to the right top of the group page, click 'Challenges' and 'Create a challenge' You will be asked to fill in two boxes. Once this is set up, it will track your books read when you add them to your designated shelf.
After challenge begins, go into your chosen reading level here and update either with a list of the books you have read or a link to your update posted elsewhere. I would recommend updating on a monthly basis.
Readers are encouraged to review each book read so other readers can see what you thought of the book, but this is not mandatory.
Readers are also encouraged to cheer on each other, comment or ask about books other challengers have read.
Recommendations may be added to the BookShelf. Please only add personal recommendations and not use this as a place to promote.
Share about the challenge with your book buddies and feel free to cross promote this group elsewhere.
