Will there be longer challenges next year? Like 6 and 12 months?
Since this is my favorite group, I want to keep a spot open for challenges in here before signing up for too many :)

We don't usually do challenges that go on longer than 2 months as people tend to lose interest in them. We'll still be having at least one challenge per month though. :)

Yeah, we had year-long challenges before, but we found that by May there were only around 6 people still participating. The monthly challenges seem to be better for keeping people motivated as you can concentrate on a new challenge each month rather than slogging away at the same one. I think the only yearly challenges I've completed I've completed them within the first couple of months, I get bored after that. We have quite a few new challenges in store for the new year though, and we'll do a 'new year reading resolutions' thread again for people to keep track of any year-long goals ☺

That's a good way to solve that problem :)

I think Opal was planning on reading the whole series, so the 'Series read-along' thread for the clockwork series was set to the 10th of January here - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... ☺

Sorry, it can get a bit confusing when we have series threads and threads for individual books!

Hello mods! I have a question. I'm doing a series read a long for feb 1 and I don't see a thread for the series. Would I make the thread or would you?

You can make the thread, or we can do it if you prefer, totally up to you ☺
I'll start a thread for planned buddy reads for February tomorrow so I will add it to that then ☺
What are you reading? ☺

We will be reading the Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libby bray.

Oh, I have that one but I haven't read it yet! Hope you enjoy it ☺

Thank you! The cover is really pretty :)

He didn't say that he was, I think he was only looking to get reviews for Insanity at the moment. The third book in the series is out in february though, so he might come back to us, or the second book might be on special offer or something ☺

Sure ☺

We used to go that with the Group Buddy Reads, they were called 'Guided Buddy Reads' until a couple of months ago. Do you mean questions like this - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Oh, we had to do it as 'tape 1' because thirteen reasons why is split up into sections for each tape. We stopped doing it though because not many people seemed to be interested in answering the questions. it just ended up being me and abbie talking to each other ☺ I can re-introduce it for next months GBR's if you'd like?

The polls haven't finished yet, its clear that beautiful disaster is leading the indie poll though ☺
