EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club discussion

This is a totally random thought/suggestion :) I know we just started our House Cup Challenge for this year but when talking about this year's cool theme with some other people, we had a suggestion for next year :) Maybe something along the lines of mythical creatures. There are so many to choose from! Things like Dragons, Mermaids, Elves, Gnomes, Witches/Warlocks, Griffin, Phoenix, Unicorn, etc. So many options! Maybe we could even do a poll/vote to pick the top 4 from a list of these.

I like this a lot! Thanks for the suggestion we will use this next year!

I am referring to the challenge on the group home page where you track the BOTM picks you have read during the entire year. Right now, it just shows 2023 and the books i read that were BOTM picks.

Thanks so much!

In the Relay Race Thread It looks like the TOTAL GROUP PAGES is incorrect as of message 113. I assume a Mod needs to correct this. Thanks!

We don’t have the ability to edit people’s posts, but I’ve posted a correction, so it can go from there. Thanks for catching that, Peggyzbooksnmusic!

Thanks, spoko!

A dumb question maybe but here it is: is the PIFM game dead? I have signed up on Jan 24 and today is Feb 15 and no one has joined the game yet, to pick a book for me. Did I kill the game somehow???

I have also completed the BINGO challenge! I did all the categories.

Hi Sarah: No, you didn`t kill the game, lol. The relay is still running, but lately, not too quickly. Hopefully someone will respond soon. Congrats on finishing your Bingo card!

Was a new read-a-long book picked for March-August 2025?

We have discontinued the Read-A-Long discussions, because they got very little participation. (Not to mention taking quite a bit more work than the monthly books.)

Hello, I just noticed that there is no Calendar Reading Challenge for 2025. Is it not being continued for this year?

I was thinking about that too.

This challenge simply "fizzled out" and was retired in 2023.
