Even though you started the nonprofit--it's still an organization's library and not your very own.

I'm going to try joining in again this year, aiming for Pike's Peak to start with, but hoping to climb higher and higher, and doing it properly with all the posts too! Thanks for running it again, because even though I could read the books perfectly well without a challenge, it's much more fun to feel like I'm succeeding at something at the same time.Slantedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15930169746160350840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-846591511543039342019-01-04T19:00:38.562-05:002019-01-04T19:00:38.562-05:00George: I don't have a page limit requirement ...George: I don't have a page limit requirement for the challenge.

So--If I hadn't been in the challenge last year and started "Book X" and had 50% or more of the book left to read and finished it today, then I could count it towards the 2019 Challenge. If I had been a challenger in 2018 and didn't manage to finish the book in time to count if for my 2018 Challenge, then (no matter how much was left to read of the book) if I finished it today, I could count it towards my 2019 Challenge. I did not intend the rule to extend back further in time than the previous year (I don't really consider a book that you were reading in 2016 and then stopped reading to be a "currently reading" book). But, honestly, I'm not really going to be checking up on these things (too many challengers to monitor and too many books of my own to read). If there's a book that you didn't finish previously (and, more importantly, did not count towards a previous Mount TBR Challenge) that you want to finish now--then go ahead and finish it in 2019. <br /><br />Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-8936388049288586062019-01-04T14:07:38.935-05:002019-01-04T14:07:38.935-05:00I don't think I've ever officially joined ...I don't think I've ever officially joined a reading challenge before.

I'll also join the Goodreads group. Thanks! <br /><br />And on reconsideration I'll shoot for Mount Vancouver.

And tbh sometimes I actually found myself making sure I don't get to 50% if I knew I wouldn't finish the book before the end of the year. I'm glad this won't happen anymore :) Serpenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709970454744338821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-39278644930802523692019-01-01T13:40:43.896-05:002019-01-01T13:40:43.896-05:00I’d like to join!
