With my part time school work on top of working full time I will not have time to read one book a week, so I am going to find books that will qualify for multiple categories each!

Hey Jessi I'm in!!

Welcome Genesis!

Hey guys random here from vancouver, Canada. Was looking for a challenge for the new year! Are you all doing it in order or just skipping through and doing whatever?

Hiya!
Looking for a new challenge for the year and this looks like a more interesting one than 'from this genre'.
As Kieren said are people doing this in any specific order?
Also wondering if people wanted to discuss books they were reading :)
Happy New Year from Wales (bit early)

I'd be keen to hear about what others are reading!

Just looking at books for the different categories now and struggling to find one set in my hometown!!

Hello Kieren & Elena. I was not thinking about any particular order to read the books. But my plan with creating a discussion post for each category was so we can each list what we will be reading, and then let the group know when the books are finished. I think it would be very neat to get everyone's opinions on the books as we go. Thanks for joining up!

Hi, nice to meet you :-) I'm looking forward to taking part in this challenge. It should be fun finding the books too!

I'm in (thanks Kieren) ... I'll be doubling up on some too simply because I'm a teacher (English of all things) so at times, my reading for pleasure gets left behind ... Add three small people in my life and well, you get the idea ;)

I'm excited to try to read out of my usual comfort zone ... And cheating with my first book though - Dragonfly in Amber fits the over 500 pages category and while I started in 2014 I'll be finishing in 2015 (hopefully today) ... Plans to hopefully read book 3 next set of school holidays (if I don't start in the next two weeks!) ...

Oh ... From sunny ole Australia :)

Yay!!! Welcome :) I'm yet to find my 500 page book. But I have a steady growing list of other books now haha

I now have roughly half of my books chosen. Saving the rest for when I have whittled down that list a bit.

Discussion board it is!
Thanks for setting this up Jessi I look forward to starting on it today :)

Hi everyone!
I'm planning on reading well.... ;D

Ooo I plan on doing this. I've already planned most of my books.

I'm so glad I found this group. I had planned to do this challenge and was looking for a good way to keep track. :) I think my challenge is going to be deciding what category I should check off for what book. My first book meets multiple categories!

Hi guys! I'm excited about doing this challenge. I've joined a group on Facebook doing the same challenge, but I wanted to have a place where I could post reviews of the books and tag them in ways specific to the book challenge. So here I am, and I'm already done with my first book (non-fiction category)!

Since some people have already asked, I'm doing mine out of order. I'm going to do the books in whatever order I decide to do them in. I don't have all of mine planned, but I do have a couple already planned out and others I intend to get eventually to read for the challenge. Nice to see so many people are here!

My goodness it looks like we are getting quite a lovely group going! :) If anyone has any questions just let me know, otherwise enjoy reading!

Finished my first book! I read Unbroken- you may see the previews at the moment. Fantastic book but quite heavy. I need something a bit lighter now! Thanks to this challenge my iPad is quite full of books!
