Cooperative Challenge
Start Date: 6/1/25
This challenge will be run on both sites!

Inspired by the treacherous terrain of long-distance journeys, this marathon uses themed checkpoints to guide our reading path. Each checkpoint represents a different challenge that must be overcome by reading a book that meets a specific prompt. The goal is for the group to collectively complete all checkpoints.

Rules:

Books must be at least 100 pages.

Books must be finished on or after the start date.

26 books per checkpoint prompt.

Submit books here:
SS: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 913 comments It sounds interesting!

Do we have to use Library Thing link above to check in the books for the Goodreads challenge, or was that link not changed when it was copied over?

This challenge is being run on both sites, so I am using the wiki to track it. Besides, the wiki is useful.

You may post here if you are having difficulties, and I will post it.

I have updated this challenge with a spreadsheet. Once the wiki is back up, I will move any books from it into the spreadsheet and remove it.

There was nothing in the wiki to transfer. Please use the spreadsheet going forward.
