Can we have a new July? There is no way I can buy an eBook at a local indie shop or buy a used eBook.
I have no alternative for July. So if July is changed, I can add a book. No challenge should I have pBook only section. Last edited by JSWolf; 12-03-2023 at 04:29 PM. |

I don't read pBooks so no used or local indie and I don't have any eBook (at present) that was recommended by someone else. An arbitrary eBook doesn't make any sense so I have no eBooks that fit July. Last edited by JSWolf; 12-03-2023 at 06:02 PM. |

Jon, an ebook from a library would also count

It feels a bit strange that I can fill November with "Asterix and the Goths"

In honour of your profession, I prefer to see it as an opportunity to strain the semantic gnat by looking for the most tenuous link imaginable between my choices and the 'rules'

How far ahead do I need to fill out all entries for the challenge? If I can use the July spot for a library book, I'd love to be able to decide on a whim.

You can add to or nfrom the challenge at any time. For example, someone could change their entry in the 2023 challenge on December 31, 2023 if they wanted.

I typically do not keep a TBR stack around, however lately I have had one. My goal is to eliminate it, something that seems to have iluded me in 2023.

I absolutely love looking at the books already added and trying to figure out which ones of you added them.

I'm trying to fit in a book by Haruki Murakami in there somewhere, but I don't want to use my joker.
It could be in April, June or October. Any suggestions? I know I can just ignore all the rules, but I found the prompts inspiring so far. Last edited by rantanplan; 12-04-2023 at 12:04 PM. |
