Steph - for Explore a Group, I've read the first all of the 6 books that show up, so I have to re-read the number I rolled?

You could either re-read, if there’s one you’d like to revisit or roll again 😊

ETA: or, you could go to the next unread book on the list

Steph wrote: "You could either re-read, if there’s one you’d like to revisit or roll again 😊

Thanks for the response. I've read every book on the discussion list, what about reading another book in the series instead?

That’ll work 😁

Same thing here - I wonder if it's pulls books from your read list to show? I'll do as Diane suggested and read a next in series.

Sorry. GR is always making changes and taking away some of the fun pathways I find. I'm poking around GR now to find an edit for that option of the challenge.

Those who are already reading the challenge and haven't completed that option are welcome to go for the new option. Those who are just joining ... well, they won't know the difference, unless they read through this thread and see our chat. 😏

I'll share the new option once I've edited above. Feel free to go for it as a bonus, even if you've already read something for "Explore a Group", if ya want or use it instead.

LaurLa wrote: "I wonder if it's pulls books from your read list to show?"

Maybe? I don't know. But, might be b/c when I was poking around and expanded the list, many of those aren't books in series or authors I've read.

I've edited that option to say ...

Explore a Group ~ [1 book] Roll the Die (http://www.random.org/dice/). (Choose 1 die, not two) On your home page, click on "community" at the top of the page, then "discussions", (make sure the list is showing books, not groups or both) count the list of book discussions shown until you reach the # you rolled, read the book shown.
