The Challenge Factory discussion

Your home town is newly incorporated and a library is being built. You have been given the task of stocking the shelves. I hope you have a huge budget! It's going to be fun. :)

How many floors will your library have? 1 floor? 2 floors? 4 floors?

For each floor, you must read:
4 adult fiction books (must be 4 different genres)
1 young adult fiction
1 childrens fiction
1 non-fiction
1 audio book

Duration: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2022

Tracking it HERE because two separate trackers are hard. Hope that's okay?

Sha wrote: "Tracking it HERE because two separate trackers are hard. Hope that's okay?"

Sure.

Would it be at all possible to switch out the audio book for something else? My ADHD has it out for my attention span whenever I try to listen to one (I can rarely even handle 10-15 minute long podcasts), and my mind wanders too badly to concentrate. Totally cool if it's not an option, but I figured it didn't hurt to ask. Thanks. ^_^

That would be fine. What would you replace it with?

Would "New Releases" work? Libraries almost always have that section, and it could be nothing published before 2021.
