That's it. Hope you like the new #22 addition to the group. If you have any questions just ask. Happy New Year and hope you have a bookful one. Enjoy.
One thing I want to mention but thought I would mention it separate. If you want you can do more than 1 option. (ex: if you pick #3 and want to do another you can pick #1 so you can pick 10 again. Same with if you don't want to commit to #3 right off the bat you can take #1 or #2 and work on them that way. We want you to have fun not get stressed about it. LOL. For me I'm going to do Option #3 (I guess I better) but my goal is to get as many books read off my print owned bookshelves (and mountains) before finding them in other locations. I will use the library book group books if they fit any of the prompts.
I know another group I'm doing two challenges they have set up one is off the stack which is kind of the same idea as our 10 one. but they added a Create your own challenge too so I decided to do that one too. so one I'm doing small paperbacks off my print shelf and the create one I'm doing trade size and hardcovers. (I haven't read a hardcover off my bookshelves (at home) in I don't know how long. And I know if I read those I can pass them on and I will have more room on bookcases to fit books that don't fit yet.
Thank you DonnaJo! I will have to think about how I pick my books this year. I’m leaning towards option 3
Each year we pick a few books we are determined to read: they could be big fat books, books we have always meant to read, books to stretch into a different genre, books that take an extra push to finish, or simply books you want to read. We usually start with a list of ten books, layer on some fun challenge categories, and add a book to the count each year ..... so this year that would mean twenty-two books.
<><><> 2022 OPTIONS<><><><>
To make it easy for everyone to participate, this year we are suggesting three options - pick the one that fits!
Option #1 - pick any TEN determination books
Option #2 - choose the TWELVE fun topic challenge prompts
Option #3 - combines #1 and #2 for a total of TWENTY-TWO books
During the year post your progress and tell us why they were on your list and we will cheer you along.
Suggested Steps:
After DJ posts the options to log your progress you may start your own topic under this new 2022 Determination Lists folder.
1) Choose an option and copy the challenge log for it
2) Paste the challenge log you select into a new topic of your own and place in this folder **Some list books up front, some list as we go along, either method works!
3) Read and have fun posting your progress, repeat.
4) You may edit your original thread to post the finished books
5) Share your thoughts as the year goes along here and on the new JF/NR thread either Carol or I will start for the new year.
Happy Reading and Happy New Year!
