message 1: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments Imagine that in 1 month, your life was to change drastically – what if you knew that in 1 months’ time, just 31 short days, every book on the planet would spontaneously combust, and there would be nothing left to read?

The idea of this challenge is to make a literary bucket list – a list of books, that if the worst above did happen, you would want to read before you missed the chance. Obviously you’ll be limited by what you can get your grubby little paws on, but what books do you really want to read? What books would you be sad you missed if you couldn’t read them any more?

The aim of this challenge is simple – create a literary bucket list, and try to read every book on it!

How to earn points:

• 1 point for every book read and reviewed.
• 1 point for every buddy read taken place in our group.

Rules:

• Books must be read from the 1st of August to the 31st of August.

• Books must be over 100 pages to count.

• Buddy read must take place in our group to count.

• For all other rules, including what we expect for a review or buddy read to count, please take a quick look here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Prizes:

• 1 winner for having the most points.
• 1 winner drawn at random.
