Hi all, I'm new here.In this group, you list all the books you want to read in the year, and check them off once you've read them?Is this correct?

Hi Taylor - welcome! This is a monthly challenge, so it is only the books you start and finish within the month. In the first post of the thread there is a list of the categories that you need to match the books to for that month. Some people list the books and check them off as they read, some fill in the blanks as they go along. (I am a fill in the blanks sort of person, I have an idea what is going where but I am never sure until I am done.) You can read 3, 5, 8 or all 10 - but a lot of people read different amounts too!

I may have stretched the truth there a bit, but for this category you can also read a sports related book or one in which food/alcohol plays a large part in the story.
4. Winter (Southern) Solstice, Dec.21: The solstice brings us the shortest day of the year, so read a short book - one under 200 pages.
