2025 Reading Challenge discussion

A-Z CHALLENGE: LOCATIONS
Duration: January 1, 2023 - December 31, 2023

This year’s A-Z challenge involves locations, both real and fictional! Boldly Go and visit locations that fit each letter of the alphabet. You may count the first letter of towns or cities, countries, planets, universes, etc. Each book, however, may only be counted once within this challenge.

Examples:
A: Alaska from Into the Wild
B: Bartlett from All the Bright Places
C: California from Of Mice and Men
D: Dune from Dune
E: Earth from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

How to Participate:

1. Post here telling the challenge leader that you'd like to join the challenge. You can choose your books for the challenge at the beginning, or add them as you go. You can join a challenge at any time, as long as the challenge is still active. You must choose a goal for the challenge.

2. Whenever you finish a book for the challenge, post here and let the challenge leader know so they can update your progress. Please be sure to post the number of books you have completed and the number of your original message every time you post an update.
The challenge leader is not able to keep track of your total number of books for you because of the number of participants in the challenge. The number of the original post is used to identify you, as there can be many members with the same name. The challenge leader will not look at this post to track your progress.

Example:
message 32 updated! 2/25 books read!

For more information about how challenges work, check out this thread or ask your challenge leader.

P.S. Please do not delete posts! It makes updating very confusing for the Moderators! If you decide to leave the challenge, please just let us know. You can edit your original post to say {redacted}. Thank you!
