For my other 'main hobby with huge message board' (collecting/using fitness dvds) we have all sorts of check-ins and challenges. Some are more specific (people using a specific set or instructor) and some are more general. But I find when I join one, I enjoy the camaraderie of others doing the same type of thing. So I announced my summer reading goal, and while it did not take off into a huge thing, necessarily, there are a few others checking in from time to time, and I enjoy that. |
Ah yes -- I joined your summer challenge and I'm enjoying seeing how others are doing. As you suggested, I set my own goal -- using your dates. I think a "read from here" challenge is great. I'm probably going to set a very low number for that one, though, as I must keep up with the paper books from my book-swapping group. I'll decide come September!
