Ellen-Arwen wrote: "PS How do we link to books? I've never worked that out lol"as long as you're on the desktop version in the top right of the comment box there's a option that says "add book/author". Search for whichever book you'd like to add then check at the bottom for either a link or cover and hit add!
added all the threads made so far! don't forget to make your thread and starting planning your list. Only 6 more days until they must be finalized!

Stephanie you'll need to make your own thread where you track your progress. To do that, scroll up to the top of this page and click on "Competitive Yearly Challenges". Then in the top right of the list is a button that says "new topic". Click that and it will let you create your thread. Then you can add your list of books there.

Thank you - I'll do my best, I'm surprised by how little I know my way around GoodReads!
OK - I have completed my list - I do hope it fits all requirements - I have been ambitious and may not finish them all but I will do my best :)https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
About 7 hours to finalize lists if you signed up! If you sign up after this message you will have 5 days from commenting to make your thread and list!
Do status updates count as a review as they do in normal challenges?

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...Oh here's mine if I forgot to post. Should our thread after our book lists look like a normal post we'd make on a review thread?
Andy are you tracking these anywhere or is that something we should be doing (including points?)
Celia wrote: "Andy are you tracking these anywhere or is that something we should be doing (including points?)"I will be. Y'all don't need to worry about it

In 2022 we are bringing you two new YEARLY challenges. You heard that right, a yearlong challenge. This challenge will last from January 1st, 2022, to December 31st, 2022, with final scores announced on January 1st, 2023. The TBR Toppler is a simple challenge: create your thread in this folder and in the first 1-2 messages make a list of specific books you want to read this year. Every time you finish a book, post your review in your thread.
Your list can be any length of books as long as there is at least one book on your list. You can include everything and anything like graphic novels, novellas, ebooks, audiobooks, ARCs, poetry etc. All lists must be finalized by January 5th 2022 at 11:59 PM PST. Do not edit it after this date, otherwise your participation will be disqualified for points.
When creating your list please type out both title and author or link the specific book using the add book tool.
Example:
Wicked As You Wish by Rin Chupeco OR Wicked As You Wish
When signing up, please create your own thread and add the link in your message. The general challenge rules can be found here. If you sign up after January 5th, 2022 you will have 5 days from signing up to make and finalize your list.
Points: For every book off your list that is completed, you’ll receive 5 points, regardless of length or format. For every 5% of your list you complete, you’ll receive 50 bonus points! If you complete your whole list during the challenge, you’ll receive 100 bonus points!
