Do all of these books have to be in the Paranormal genre or can they be any genre as long as they fit the description in the list?
Mod
Great! Then I'm in! This should be fun!
Sounds like fun. Cant wait to get started.
This looks like so much fun!! I'm in! Do we start at the top of the list?
Mod
You can start where ever you like. This is just a random list that I did for my self from the original list.
Can we use books from another challenge for this challenge? Kill two birds with one stone so to speak?
Also can one book fulfill more than one criteria or it has to be one book for each criteria? I'm new to these challenges o.O!
I am so in! This is great actually because our Library is doing the exact same thing!!!!! Same challenge and everything. This will be great to do it on here so I can keep a list going on how far I am!
Hometown one might be hard.live in very small town!
Mod
I will take book set in your state.
Mod
It's one book per a challenge.
Its to equal 52 books.
Mod
Yes you can if that book is related to a challenge on the list.
I can't read a book that takes place in my home town or a banned book because I live in Australia and we don't have banned books as far as I know and my hometown is unknown most people outside of the area.

I am in but need a little help on a couple of the options. we are supposed to read 52 books but I only find 50 topics listed. Are there more somewhere? and I do not know what to do about the topic "a book your mom loves". Does anyone have a recommendation for this one??
Mod
For one of them you have to read a Trilogy which is 3 books. So with that the total will be 52 books.
I'm struggling with hometown...Can it be by an author from the county area or a book based in the county? I'm in the UK and my hometown isn't exciting enough to have a book based on it! Haha
Can the true story clause be inspired by true events? i.e I want to read Conversion by Katherine Howe, which was inspired by the Salem Witch Trials?
Mod
I can be a true story or a fiction.

Mod
Thanks Samantha :) Also, any suggestions for books with bad reviews? I'm sure all books have some bad reviews but I assume this means popular books which received bad reviews?
woot im in. i can prolly knock out half this list
Mod
Any book that is on goodreads that has a rating under 3 stars is a bad book.
Mod
It also can be a book with the most one and two star ratings.
Brilliant, that makes it a bit easier :)
Define "Classic Romance," does that mean like Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre or something like that?
I will have to think about this list, but this looks like a great challenge! :D As since I didn't complete my challenge in 2014, I need something new to challenge myself with. ;)
im in this sound like fun. I have never done a challenge before.
Oh I am SO up for this challenge!! Do we need to review the books we read?
I'm in. Do we need to review the books like Nicola said??
Mod
No. Just have to add a star rating and make sure to add the date you finish. It you are reading a book in a different languages. Leave a clip note for me.

No you will have to keep on the shelf you made for it to count but after rating it. It will appear also on your read shelf. Goodreads is that amazing.

Um another question. Here in greece we don't have banned books what should I do???
Mod

Actually there was one book banned in Greece way before our time.
The book The Odyssey by Homer was the only book ever banned in Greece history from 5 AD to 35 AD. It was considered a great threat to the emperor for anyone in his country to be reading the odyssey. Lets just say if you were caught reading it. You didn't get a free trip to Disney land.
Mod
No. Just have ..."
You are most welcome to read any books that are banned in any country.
I will list what you need to do for this challenge.
