Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Have you noticed the longer you are active on Goodreads, the larger your “to-read” (TBR) shelf becomes?

How do you tackle it? In date order? Alphabetical? Or do you just ignore it and hope to get to the books “one day”?

Rules: For this challenge, you’ll use a randomiser* to randomly pick numbers. Use these corresponding numbers on your “to-read” shelf to challenge yourself to read those books.

❶ Step 1
Go to http://www.random.org/integers/ to get your random numbers. (Instructions under spoiler.)
(view spoiler)[

1. Change the number in part 1 to the number of books you are choosing.
   In this example, I changed 100 to 2.

2. Change the second number (100) to the number of books on your “to read” shelf.
   In this example, I changed it to 187.

3. Click “Get Numbers.”
   



The next page will give you your random numbers:

(hide spoiler)]

❷ Step 2
Go to your “to-read” shelf and find the books that match your numbers on your shelf. They are your selected books! (Example continues under spoiler.)
(view spoiler)[

In this example, the numbers given were 52 and 110 and book number 52 is “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.”



Note: You may need to "turn on" your position number on your shelf. To do this, go to your "to-read" shelf, click on "Settings" (top right) then make sure "position" is selected and "save"

(hide spoiler)]

*If you prefer not to use the randomiser, you may just choose random numbers yourself by rolling a dice, picking a number out of a hat, just choosing a number in your mind - up to you!!

Duration: One year from start date. (Though to keep with the original challenge each book selected should be read within one month. )

Levels:

Headlock: 1-8 books.
Coathanger: 9-17 books.
Spear Tackle: 18-26 books.
No Suspension: 27 + books

How to “turn on” the position indicator on your “to-read” shelf:

• Go to setting (blue arrow) and check-mark the box position (red arrow) and numbers will be assigned (purple arrow) to your books based on your add dates.

START DATE 20/12/2020

✔To Have and to Hate by R.S. Grey - April 16th

I think I'm going to hop in on this challenge since I completely failed to do it in 2020, I started the 2020 challenge in June and then didn't read a single book until the last week of the year. Typical. So I will try and finish that one by June and starting this one in January! Super challenging myself this time!

My TBR is at 1,715 books right now...

If my random # pulls up a sequel in a series where I haven't read the previous books, I will replace it with the first book in the series that is unread.

Duration: January 1, 2021 - January 1, 2022

Last year's attempt ended in complete disaster reading only 4 of the 14 books I rolled, so this year I'm aiming for 6 books. One every two months shouldn't be too much trouble. Hopefully, it goes over better at least.
