I was wondering what happened to this on the home page. We used to have a tracker like we do for the 29th-two-month-challenge but it's no longer there and I miss it. Was it removed for a reason?

The homepage will only show 2 challenges there, but you can still click "More challenges" to see it! It's not a very conspicuous link, but it's still there, I promise!

The "More challenges..." link is at the bottom right hand corner under the other challenges.

Oh thanks! I have a lot to learn still about GR! 😊

Nicole, it took me nearly an hour and a half to fix all the books that weren't showing up. I had several that kept requiring that I add a finished date when I already had one. So I kept trying to add bogus dates because I didn't know what to do. But I FINALLY got all of my books to show. There were eight that weren't. Thanks again!

Something is wrong with Goodreads lately. I've been having problems with finished dates not showing up too. Hopefully they update with a bug fix soon!

It's very frustrating!

When I first signed up for this challenge it kept messing up and I had to delete my post at least 4 times until finally something happened and all my books and postings were ok. Crazy as heck

It's never too late! :)

I wish I could stick with a plan from the beginning of the year to the end. I swear I've reorganized my books about 20 times this year alone. Takes me more and more time as the year goes on as well! -.-

I am very late to the game but I still think I can catch-up!

Can I join here too? I am knew to the group so I a bit confused.
I've read many books this year already. Can I use then and join the challenge?

Hi! Hopefully it's not too late because I'd love to join! I doubt I'll be able to finish it this year but never say never :P
Is it cool if I continue doing the challenge into the next year if I'm not able to finish?

Yep! Anyone can join at anytime through the end of the year for this one :)
