readingtogetherWell, that was a pleasingly positive response - let's do this thing!
Checkins will be on Fridays except for the final one which will be a Saturday! As ever, there are no penalties for checking in late, missing a check-in or not making your target. It's all about encouraging each other to read more than we would have otherwise. If you've got a list or a target, feel free to share it in the comments below!
And most importantly, have fun! As much as one of the core ideas of this challenge is to get unread/half-read books read, life's too short to read bad books/books that aren't right for you, so don't keep slogging away at one book you're not enjoying - unless it's, you know, homework, in which case tell us and we'll up the cheerleading - just because you've listed it when you could be spending that time reading something else you'd enjoy.
