Can you read more books than me in 2013? Let's find out! I dare ya.

I'm hosting a reading challenge on Goodreads called "Outread Aubrey!" The goal? Read more books than me in 2013. The incentive? Lots of giveaways! Check it out here: http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/879 ... -challenge

Please please join me? With cupcakes?

Hmm... I don't have a Goodreads.

I'd love to... but I don't have a Goodreads either.

Challenge accepted!

*makes good reads account*

*high gives Roager* Awesome! Don't forget to read the rulez. You gotta make a shelf and give me the link so I can watch your progress.

Y'all should consider joining Goodreads. Not everyone wants another social network, I know, but it's a great place to keep track of your books.

Okay, then, I'm in.

*beams*

Hmm. I have an account now--Renna Dallas. But I don't know how to add books to my shelf.

I joined...

*squeals in delight and hugs Nicole* My Nicole joined! I is now.

Renna, try this. When you finish reading a book, search for it on Goodreads. On the book's page, under the cover image, there's two green buttons. One says "Want to read" and then the button next to it looks like a couple of books. Hover over that and it will give you the option to add it to your other shelves. If you click "Read," it will bring up the form for reviewing it, rating it, and adding it to your other shelves. That's how I usually do it.

I got it.

Is it okay for me to add books I've already read this year, or only books I've read since hearing about the challenge?

Anything you've finished since Jan. 1st counts!

I'll try to make one. So.....challenge accepted.

Welcome aboard, mate!

Done. user Lieutenant Möpa.

Welcome aboard! Don't forget to make an "Outread Aubrey" shelf and give me the link so I can start counting your points.

Just joined the challenge.

Yes!

What's your user name?

Here--an article to help us read: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-lev ... _ref=books --especially for people who have work and no extra time (help me, somebody? ). While I don't agree with everything, it does offer some helpful tips as we try to outread Aubrey.

Cool article, Alyssa! Some unique tips in there.

Lookit! We now have stunning graphics, courtesy of our very own BushMaid.

Also, January's giveaway has been announced, and it's TWO ebook copies of Fire & Ashes, book 2 in Katie's (Jaynin) Supervillain of the Day series! I'll be gifting them on release day (this Saturday!), so be sure to join the challenge and get your shelf up so that you can be entered in the drawing!

I highly doubt I can. XD

Join anyway and you'll be entered in giveaways for trying.

How is this challenge going for everyone?

*is going to draw winners for the September giveaways tonight or tomorrow morning*

It's been fun, even though I haven't done too well...

I got stuck around once or twice reading a book that I didn't like so much (which makes me read it more slowly), aside from having a hectic schedule. But I'm getting back to reading again. It helps that I have Kindle in my mobile.

Excellent!

Ahh, yes, I carry my digital comics on my phone, and that's great for sneaking reading in. I should probably get the Kindle app and start forcing myself to read "real" books that way...
