You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

I've been trying to be patient but ... that's all I can stands, I can't stands no more ...

What's the 2016 Year Long Challenge?☺

I wanna know too!!

Me too :). This year has been great

I want to know too! #thesuspenseiskillingme

Hahaha, I was thinking about the new challenge a few days ago. Then I decided it would be better if I concentrate in at least do 1 level of the current challenge... (I got so distracted from my series!)

My series list is so long that I'll probably be working on it all through 2016 too! I am incredibly curious to see what I'll be trying to accomplish next year in addition. ;)

What's the 2016 Year Long Challenge?☺"

Amen sista'.

Oh come on. It's only November. Don't you all have a million and one other things to get done before you even think about 2016, or is that just me?

I do, Rusalka!
I don't want to know. :0)
I don't want to think about gophering for books and and planning for something new yet.

When I saw the title to this thread, I wondered what the heck it was all about. Thanks for the laugh, Almeta.

So, I've made a couple of hints which I'll repeat here:

1. We are going to go on a trek.
2. Jurassic Park would be a perfect book for one of the tasks.

I'm still working on putting it together. This one is taking a lot of preparation - more than any other challenge I've designed. I hope I have it finished in time.

Oh, and what Rusalka said. :)

Lol. I have tons to do, but it doesn't stop me from being curious. Your teasers just make me want to know more! ;) I suppose I can wait a bit longer.

Teasers is all you're going to get until I unveil the challenge the beginning of December. *evil cackle*

Oh, I haven't read Jurassic Park yet!
Trek - a journey, an adventure? Space, the final frontier in a galaxy far, far away? Yay! Places to visit, things to see! Sounds like another year of great reading ahead, Janice.

Nope, nothing better to do. I'm already planning my 2016 reading, there is just this gap where the YLTO year long challenge is supposed to go..... :)

LOL fair enough. I have been told :P

I wish to join in next year challenge but comparing my amount of reading next to yours guys makes me rethink about it !

Sounds like it'll be about dangerous wild life .. Or killer adventures !

Nah, have a read when Janice puts it up CFDeeDee and join in. Janice is lovely and makes the bar pretty low for slow pokes like me to complete the challenge.

You complete the challenge as soon as you hit that first milestone, and these people that zoom off into the distance are doing it for their own fun.

I am much more slower than you are Rusalka !
I'll see how my book list would fit within the challenge !
Maybe it'll be good to join so I could learn how to read faster ..

Well, it's not a competition ;) Point is that there is usually about a 6-10 or so book requirement roughly to complete the challenge over 12 months. So definitely check it out, and don't get put off by the super speedy readers.

I agree CFDeeDee. Have a look at the challenge when Janice posts it and take things from there. It really doesn't matter how many books you read as long as you are having fun :) I am not the quickest reader either. I wanted to complete at least 4 levels for this years' 'Serial Killer' challenge but have only managed 2 so far and I doubt I will complete another before the year ends. I have read some great books along the way though and have had a lot of fun doing it so that is good enough for me :)

Putting it that way makes me think of reconsidering it !
I'll keep a close eye around for the challenge :D

Well I have Jurassic Park ready and waiting!

lol! Maybe we should all plan a Buddy Read!☺

I'm going to slow things down a bit for 2016.

The last few years, I've tried to accommodate the speed readers so adapted with levels, milestones, etc. This year, there will be one level and when you finish it, the challenge is done. Having said that, there is a bonus available.

The speed readers can knock themselves out, and fly themselves to the moon if they want after they've completed the challenge (which some of them will likely do in January). There will be a lot to keep them going if they set their own personal goal. It will sort of be of like the monthly challenge where we say, "This challenge is for one book. You may read more, but only one book will be counted." Except - we'll be reading more than one book. :)

I hope everyone likes the change in pace. It will probably make more sense once I post the challenge. I'm about 70% completed in design.

Works for me - Jurassic Park in January?? Shall I set up a thread in anticipation?

Oh boy... I don't doubt it will be a wonderful challenge (again)!!! :D
Take your time, Janice (but not too long ;)...)!

We love your annual challenges, Janice. Do not matter what.

Your year long challenges are always great Janice. I'm sure we will all love whatever it is you have got planned for us.

I absolutely agree with you, Sandra and Lisa.
I too love the current yearly challenge. I've almost finished level 4 and that is at least 2 levels more than I thought I would do!

A Jurassic Park buddy read sounds great. And January? Why not!

I'm glad you all enjoy them. I think you'll really like this one. I'm having fun researching it, and learning lots in the process. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

I'll start a thread for Jurassic Park.

I should mention that you may not want to read Jurassic Park once you learn about the challenge. Let's just say that you commit to one book and you commit to....

But, the thread is up.
