50 Book Challenge! 4693 books / 4691 members / 31155 posts Welcome to the 50-Book Challenge! We are not listless. In fact, we love lists ...

A list of the books we've been looking forward to, for example, can be found by following this link:

http://astore.amazon.com/allencotrip-20

Our challenge is to read 50 books in one year. OR ... establish a goal for yourself more or less, it's up to you, just because we say 50 books doesn't mean that has to be your goal too.

To join, all you need to do is start a thread, WITH YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT OF YOUR ORIGINAL POST, and log your books (with title and author, please.) Reviews are always welcome as well. It is a very good idea to bookmark your post (when in your post, add it to your internet browser's favorites)for quick access for future updates. Things move quickly around here.

If you haven't been keeping track of the books you've read, start when you join.

I enjoy reading your lists, and my TBR pile has grown as a result and I've read books I wouldn't have otherwise (The Hunger Games, I'm talking to you ...)

It doesn't have to be all lists all the time, though ... People enjoy it when you comment on their lists as well, so when you update your list ... take a minute and browse around. You never know what you might find. (Water For Elephants, I'm talking to you.)

I survey the group each year starting in mid-December, until about mid-January then compile the lists and post the results. I look forward to this year's lists, now that the Twilight fervor has died down.

Thanks for being here and have fun. If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to contact me.
Madly off in all Directions 52 books / 1 members / 1597 posts After jumping from one Profile to another, losing the thread of the yarns being spun, I thought we should have a group. Just a small one. I'll feed, it and walk it, and everything. And make you both Administrators, as soon as I figure out how to do that!
This group is for conversations about books, authors, knitting, ideas, jokes (especially those that Victoria D. is forever apologizing about), the vicarious lives of Laura the aviatrix, Michael the knitter, and Victoria the Chess master. Feel free to invite compatible people. And Dogs.
