Self-paced Challenge
Signups closed
Ends Dec 31, 2025

Hello Anne McCaffrey fans! This challenge is for you!

This is a mega-sized individual self-paced challenge based on 84 books written by Anne McCaffrey. There will be 2 tasks (plus the optional one to read one of Anne McCaffrey's books) to choose from for each book but you only have to complete one to move on to the next book. Signups will be open through the end of 2024 and you will be able to continue until you finish.

NOTE: You are not required to read Anne McCaffrey's books to complete the challenge. However, you have the option to do so for any task.

If you have any questions, please post them in the Q & A Thread.

Challenge Rules:
📘Standard Rules Apply
📘I will create an individual thread for you prior to the start date.
📘Your first prompt will be posted on January 1, 2024.
📘Books must be completed after the task has been posted.

Of course. You don't have to have read her books before or even read her books now. We are just spotlighting her in this challenge. She wrote a spectacular number of books in her life and her children have continued her legacy.

That's fine, I'm okay with that. I'm just passionate about learning things via non-fiction.

Please note: I have NOT been getting notifications for several days. Let me reclarify that. I have NOT been getting all notifications. They have been spotty. My email notification have been zero. My Goodreads app has been giving me some notifications but not all (obviously). I happened to notice one player here this morning was giving themself tasks (please don't do this). If I do NOT give you tasks within 2 days, there is a problem. PMing me is the proper response here. I already knew there was an issue and I was trying to figure it out. I would have figured out that I was missing you. I did and I got to all you today (I think). If I haven't, please reach out.
