I don't remember how the titles were chosen last year -- maybe we could suggest titles we are interested in? I could only read one of the four chosen titles in 2012 and the discussion never took off on that one... <br />Oh, also, I know that another site sends email reminders for group reads, maybe that could help?Scribacchinahttp://parolediscribacchina.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1253113231066239423.post-64151895578798837452012-12-28T08:40:55.797-08:002012-12-28T08:40:55.797-08:00JHM: The format for the CHALLENGE is the same (con...JHM: The format for the CHALLENGE is the same (congrats on the great reading for that challenge in 2012!)...BUT we have also now added a book club which is separate from the challenge (that's what this post is all about!).

I...I didn't realize you had changed the format. I wish I had known. I kept track of my books read and page totals this year. Assuming I finish my current book (not a chunkster) by the 31st, I will have read 80 books for the year. This is the same as 2011 with one exception, I read only a few (3-5) chunksters in 2011. In 2012, I read 13 chunksters. <br />I'll bookmark your site and look for a chance to join in for 2013.<br /><br />JHM<br />http://needleworkerssamplings.blogspot.com/jhmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303312317141412783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1253113231066239423.post-72318053955941141762012-12-15T07:22:48.260-08:002012-12-15T07:22:48.260-08:00I'm so sorry to hear you were so ill this past...I'm so sorry to hear you were so ill this past year, Alberta...and I certainly understand how life can derail our best efforts!

Will apply as soon as the list is posted if the group runs again. I bought the others but haven't read them yet - they may be the start of my challenge read 2013:)alberta rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132420168908365099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1253113231066239423.post-35938437897949000732012-12-13T05:58:30.560-08:002012-12-13T05:58:30.560-08:00Thanks for weighing in, Heather!Thanks for weighing in, Heather!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1253113231066239423.post-2485925501984995612012-12-13T04:32:43.365-08:002012-12-13T04:32:43.365-08:00I really enjoyed reading the chunksters for the cl...I really enjoyed reading the chunksters for the club this year, but I wasn't always good about remembering the discussions.
