The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

Hey Kristie, Just a question...Is there a minimum page count to this challenge? I noticed on the other challenge the minimum page count was 150 that is why I'm asking..

Hey Mama - There is not. This is a challenge that you can make as easy or difficult as you want. If you'd like to add a page count, you certainly can.

Thank you! I was determined to complete it before April at least. I won't be doing the challenge this year. I'm trying to get through my TBR/physical books on my shelves, so this year it will be UNO and the Pick-it-for-me challenges. I hope that will help me get more read from my physical books at home!

Sounds like a good plan! I like the pick-it-for-me challenges too.

You may use either author. For a book of short stories, you would typically use the editor.
