Thanks for this! Was struggling to find them

I started this last year but never really was able to follow through. My goal in 2019 is to make this happen. Thanks so much for the fun spreadsheet options. I've already written some of the challenges in my new planner!

The Goodreads reading challenge is more just a general challenge to read a set number of books within the year. Around the Year has specific prompts. But if you were shooting to only complete the Around the Year Challenge then your Goodreads challenge goal would be 52 books. Hopefully that makes sense.

As far as creating topics, from this page, click "Group Home" on the right side. Then click 'new' at the top of the list of threads. It should be right above the 'Mod Corner' or to the right of 'Discussion Board'. Create a title for your post and choose the appropriate folder.

If you're creating a 2019 plan then you type something like 'Linka's 2019 Plan' in the title box and then choose '2019 Plans' from the drop down. For the 'comment', you copy and paste the challenge list from here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... and then add your own book choices by clicking 'add book/author'.

I typically spend my Saturday and Sunday mornings going through and checking formatting/placement of new threads so don't stress too much. You'll learn as you go and get familiar with the group :)

Brilliant list of topics, thanks for organising! I'm so looking forward to reading and updating my list throughout the year.
