Here is the master thread for the 2016 Reading Challenge. This challenge is perhaps a little less involved than MPauli's Amazing super challenge, so perhaps preferable to some.

Lists rules and the categories for the challenge. Here you can track your progress, make plans, whatever you want!

You can also join the official group challenge progress widget thingy by clicking here

Use 2016 Reading Challenge Discussion Thread for general chat about the challenge!

Personally I'll be setting up a bookshelf on GoodReads to track the books towards this challenge called "2016 Reading Challenge".

RULES

- Books must be started and finished in 2016
- One book can count for a maximum of two categories
- You can join in at any point in the year and the books you have already read can count towards the challenge
- Graphic novels count
- No minimum page count (unless the category states)

I'm a technical writer. Can I interpret my occupation broadly as just writer?

Love the honesty on the poetry book Roger :-)

Yes mark that's fine :)

Paul wrote: "Love the honesty on the poetry book Roger :-)"

:)

I just can't stand poetry, I don't even read snippets of poetry/songs that show up in fantasy books.

I think I'll be with you in not completing that one. :-)

Am I allowed to create and post my own modified SF/Fantasy challenge?

Don't think that will be a problem.Start a new thread in the challenges folder.

I think that sounds like an interesting list, I'll see how many I can cross off here!

Was Dwarves good. I bought it for a challenge.

I loved Dwarves I couldn't put it down. But as the series goes on I found the books got worse and worse. But on its own Dwarves was a fun read.

Cool. I'll bear that in mind and maybe enjoy it on its own

I wasn't a big fan of Dwarves, seemed pretty generic and I got a little bored reading it. It's too bad because I'm a big fan of most dwarf characters.

it does seem to have very mixed reviews

Is there a simple way of telling if a YA book is a 'bestseller'? I've had a quick look around but haven't quite figured it out yet.

It looks like it's quite an ambiguous term - if you google the book and see the term bestseller associated with it then I guess that's good enough
