How to set up your individual thread.
~~~ On Book Nook Cafe's main page you will see various Folder/topics and the Threads in each folder.
Click on the Folder titled - Book Challenge 2025.
In the upper right of the screen that appears is "New Topic". Click on that & the screen you need will appear.
From there, fill out the Topic
Topic: (Your screen name- 2025 Book Challenge ).
Click on the Comment box, as you do when you normally post. Fill it in with the 25 + prompts, then click on "post". Make sure there is a line space between prompts as that will make it easier to read.
As the year progresses and you complete a book, hit the Edit button on your post that lists the 25+ prompts.
You can either:
~Type the title of the book you read for a particular prompt or put the Good Reads link for the book under the prompt.
~It is helpful is you also include a check mark ✅, asterisk or some other mark to indicate a completed prompt.
* Do NOT put a review in the Prompt list as GR has a character limit.
You can review the book in separate post in the Book Salon or in another post in the Thread you just created for your list.
If you are unsure, please look at the challenge lists for 2024 or ask for further help.
Remember:
1- The challenge this year is only ONE book for each prompt.
2- You decide if a book you read fits a prompt. This is a no Judgement zone.
This challenge is for fun. Please, no stress !
3- Note: There are 25 prompts to complete the challenge. I've included an additional 5 if you are ambitious or feel there is no way you can complete one of the original 25. Just sub in one of the 5 additional prompts.
4- I've tried to make most prompts very general so as to make it easier to find books that fit.
You can choose non fiction or fiction for almost all the prompts.
5 - This is a year long challenge. You have all of 2025 to finish. There is no rush or pressure. Please do not start before January 1, 2025.
6- Please DO NOT put books you intend to read on the Prompt list. Only fill in the book you actually read for the prompt. Otherwise it gets too confusing.
You can keep a list of the possible books you intend to use on paper or in a different post for yourself. Last year, I kept the list of possible books on a legal pad with the prompt found it very helpful.
7- The goal of this reading challenge is to mainly to have fun while helping you to read more widely. It's also fun to see which books others choose to fill in the prompts. Beware the Reading Challenge will no doubt expand your TBR list ! :)
