I’m also new and wondering how to join this challenge? Do we do all of the categories? And we post the list and fill it in as we go? A few new people have also asked before me. Thanks!

Deborah wrote: "How do I select or join this challenge? I’m very new to GRs"

Hiya! In case nobody has already answered your question, you join challenges just by posting in them. All you have to do now is copy and paste the the template (or modify it to your liking) and off you go! Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to help. I'm on pretty much everyday, fiddling around with my posts.

Hello my name is Brieanna. I am excited to join this challenge. I am not sure if I will be able to complete it all, but I can't wait to try.

Sorry Sylvia - sometimes questions get lost at the beginning-ish of a challenge because everyone is posting their templates, but Joni is correct! You just start yourself a comment and read! Go back and edit your comment as you finish books!

This was on my personal challenge list to do this year. Glad I found this.
