2025 Reading Challenge discussion

It's that time--we are going to start preparing for 2018.

To answer some questions:
- Yes, the group will continue into 2018!
- Yes, we will archive all of your 2017 challenges and corners so you don't lose your info!
- Yes, we will have a bunch of new yearly challenges for you!

We are super excited and hope you are too. You'll notice that the group name just changed to reflect that it'll continue on next year. Please post any questions you may have about the transition here.

Here's the schedule the Mods have put together so far:

Late November/Early December:
- The Yearly Theme and Monthly Themes will be announced!
- Start posting yearly challenges (these will be posted over the course of several days to give you the opportunity to read through them)
- Create the new folders for personal challenges and member corners

Last Week in December:
- Post January challenges
- Post Q1 challenges

First week in January:
- Change group name
- Archive 2016 threads

The first four yearly challenges are online! Join them here. :)

We would also love it if you guys can help us create another yearly challenge. Post it here!

Everyone, the Member Corners and Personal Challenge folders for 2018 are posted!

Wow... Wish you guys a very happy 2018 :) Read on :)

Same to you Hemangini!

Thanks for the update! Will you be able to move member corners to the 2018 folder? I want to keep all my challenges in one place for all the years and it would be easier to just keep the folder and move it.

Lillian, I have moved your corner to the 2018 folder: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I'm really looking forward to starting a new year of reading challenges. Many thanks to all the moderators for your hard work and very best wishes to everyone for 2018!

Thanks Ilona!

You're very welcome Paula! I'm looking forward to it too! It's always fun to start a fresh year and plan ^^

Thanks for your quick reply.....but I keep getting an error message when I try that.

Uhm, what is the error message?

“Unable to load Page” error 404

Well, there can be a number of reasons but I can't specify them since I don't know the details of whether you're using the app or laptop, Mac or Windows, or what browser, etc., but it sounds like some sort of bug.

I'd suggest writing to the GR Feedback Group if the problem persists.

Thanks. I’ll keep trying. Hopefully I can’t set my own challenge. I really enjoyed it last year.

Have you tried logging off, (maybe even restarting your computer), logging back in and browsing to the specific thread yourself?

Hi! I'm not been active. But my resolution for 2018 is to be just that. Active in goodreads and try to reach more reading goals!
I reached it this year! Exact 10 books.
I am currently reading on 2 books. Yay me😉 My reading goal for January is to finish those books. "The Scorch trials" & "It grows a tree in Brooklyn"
The maze runner 1 was an exciting read. The second book in the series is to.
But I also like to knit & crochet. Now I'm in a knitting mood. So therefore is my books on hold for the moment...and that's why my reading goals ain't that big aswell.
Maybe I should pick up audiobook again. I tried it some years ago. But when I took them to bed, I just fell asleep while the books playing...so I got out of those. Cause I could not keep up with where I got in the "book" I was listening to "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy
