We have no idea how you found us, but we are very happy to have you join us.
So, now that you are here, what to do next?
First, stop by at our Just joined? Drop in and say Hi! thread. Tell us a little something about yourself and where you from in the Tell us something about yourself... and Where in the world are you? threads. A great way to break the ice in a new group, so jump right in.
Now on to the challenges, since I’m pretty sure that’s part of the reason why you decided to join us. We have many reading challenges available, so here is a little guide to help you navigate among them.
We have Monthly Challenges which are usually launched at the beginning of a month and run for the full month.
Regular Monthly Challenge - This is the group's main challenge with 10 categories to fill.
Pick-It-For-Me Challenge - A popular recommendation challenge which allows participants to try a new book.
Read-The-Month Challenge - Read books which titles or authors start with the letters of the month, using a different language each year.
Featured Author Challenge – Read one book written by the Featured Author within the month.
We also have Quarterly Challenges with a duration of three months.
Quarterly Themed-Challenge (Changes every quarter)
Read-The-Season Challenge (Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn) Rules will be the same as the Read-The-Month.
Then we have the Yearly Challenges that are good for the whole year.
A-Z Book Challenge
A-Z Author Challenge
A-Z Character Challenge (Male)
A-Z Character Challenge (Female)
A-Z Friends Challenge
Stacking the Series Challenge
Authors After Dark Challenge
Create-Your-Own-Reading Challenge
Chubby Chunkster Challenge
We also have our Interactive/Other Challenges folder which is a hodge-podge of one-time challenges of various lengths. Also found in this folder is our very popular Meet and Greet Challenge, which runs bi-monthly and is a great way to make new friends and clear out some of your TBR at the same time!
Our Ongoing Challenges folder has a variety of challenges that can be started and ended whenever it is convenient for you. Our current list of Ongoing challenges includes the following:
If you are the competitive type, you might want to test your challenge skills by joining RRRC's Reading Tournaments .
For those who want only one book at a time, you can pick from our Members Reading Lists Folder. Also do not forget to add any books you have read for any of our challenges in our Group Bookshelf .
Now if you like to discuss books, check out the following sections:
Dare You to Read Challenge - Up for a dare? Check what is available for group reads in this section. Have a book, author or series you want to read, and want others to read with you? Put up your own dare, and see who will be interested in joining.
Buddy Reads - Whether it's just two people or an organized group, this is the place for people who are all reading the same book to discuss it.
RRR Discussions and Top-Lists Looking for a specific category? Wants suggestions on a certain theme? Like to compare lists with others? Look at what’s already up or create a new one.
Now be forewarned, GoodReads is addictive and there are many of us who practically spend most of our waking hours online.
So if you are just hanging out in GR, feel free to play with some of the games we have going on in our Fun & Games folder.
For those who have books, groups, blogs, websites, contests, etc to promote, you are more than welcome to post info in our (Self) Promotion folder.
*lets go of newbie hand*
Okay, toddle along now, and have fun.
If you have any questions, just ask, and we will be more than happy to help you out.
