There are 55 tasks.
The Challenge point goal is 930.

10 x 5 points = 50
10 x 10 points = 100
10 x 15 points = 150
10 x 20 points = 200
8 x 25 points = 200
6 x 30 points = 180

Many of the tasks have already been posted. The remaining tasks will be posted as they are available. The aim is to have all tasks, excepting 50.1, posted by Match 7. All tasks are draft until March 12. Please carefully review the task descriptions on March 13 as task requirements may have changed during the review period. Task 50.1 will be posted after the season midpoint April 15.

Please read the task descriptions thoroughly!

We strongly recommend that you review The Rules of the Challenge, FAQs and Posting Requirements.


The Spring 2018 Challenge will end on May 31, 2018 at midnight Eastern time.

We hope this season's tasks lead you to some great books. Happy reading!

There is a help thread for each task in the Spring 2018 Task Help folder. General questions about the Spring 2018 Challenge may be asked in the General Questions thread. Specific questions about individual tasks should be posted in the Help Threads for those tasks.
