The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

Welcome to the Winter 2024 Challenge! Brrr, is that a chill in the air or what? Let's get that fire roaring, find a ridiculously indulgent mug of hot chocolate (with cream and marshmallows, of course!), and settle in for some Winter reading. Iceland definitely has the right idea with Jólabókaflóðið!

Welcome back returning players! Thank you for making this group so much fun. If you are just joining us as a new player, we are glad you are here.

If you need help getting started please see Getting Started, SRC Explained, and Welcome Newcomers.

The Winter 2024 bonus theme is: It's A Wonderful World - Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty

The predicted task breakdown is as follows, but may be subject to change:

There are 57 tasks.
The Challenge point total is 995.

10 x 5 points = 50
10 x 10 points = 100
10 x 15 points = 150
10 x 20 points = 200
7 x 25 points = 175
9 x 30 points = 270
1 x 50 points = 50


Many of the tasks have already been posted. The remaining tasks will be posted as they are available. All tasks are draft until 5 days after the last task is posted. Please carefully review the task descriptions after the task become final as task requirements may have changed during the review period. Task 50.1 will be posted around the season midpoint on January 15.

Please read the task descriptions thoroughly!

We strongly recommend that you review the Rules of the Challenge, Posting Requirements and Default Rules and FAQs.

The Winter Challenge Folder holds or will soon hold: Challenge Tasks, Completed Tasks, the Readerboard, Questions/Problems, the current Challenge Rules, the season's Group Reads discussion threads, Task Ideas, the Calendar and submission threads for the season's Logo Contest and Review Raffle.
The topics can be sorted by clicking on the topics heading.

Many thanks to TrishhartUK for our group icon and masthead banner this season.

We hope this season's tasks lead you to some great books. Happy reading!

I think one of the tasks got posted to the old challenge.
20.2 - Rookie at the Top - SheMac's Task: Into 2025 is in the Fall Folder.

Whoops! That should be fixed now, thanks for the heads up.

I'm assuming 20.1 is still in draft?
