BarbaraBB Thanks!! I could use some inspiration for this one! 2y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Also these books work

Cinfhen This was a prompt on #pop20 I think @BarbaraBB and it was difficult for me then too!!! I‘ve tried to read NK Jemisin before @BarbaraTheBibliophage but I couldn‘t connect 🤷🏼‍♀️I know she‘s super popular!! Thanks for suggesting her books!!! 2y

Larkken I recently found cadwell turnbull, whose books would work along with these authors, and one of the original afrofuturism writers is Nalo Hopkinson.

The Lesson

Larkken

Brown Girl in the Ring

coffees "if you only post on Litsy, we won't count your completed books towards the drawings." Where else do we have to post? Also, why do you need our real names? Sorry, I'd like to participate but I don't like to share my name 3y

alisiakae @coffees We no longer track books participants read ourselves, due to the time-consuming nature, and post a Google Form every quarter for participants to report how many prompts they completed that quarter. That's what that sentence is referring to, you don't have to post elsewhere, just fill out the quarterly Google forms if you would like to be entered into the raffle. You don't have to provide your real name if you do not want to. 3y

alisiakae @coffees I'm speaking to my co-hosts to see about making that question on the form optional, instead of required. @cinfhen @barbarathebibliophage 3y

Cinfhen Join us for #Booked2020 Starting January 1, 2020❣️ 5y

CarolynM I don't give myself much chance of completing the challenge, but I'm going to try anyway. Wish me luck! 5y

Cupcake12 No...still not working 😔 it goes straight to server not found. Can the document be sent via email to me? 5y

See All 26 Comments

Cinfhen Best of luck @CarolynM I‘d use Murphy‘s Law as your guide... just read what u want and by default you‘ll complete the challenge without trying 😜💚Just have fun!!!!! 5y

Cinfhen Im not techie enough @Cupcake12 so I‘ll tag my cohosts and see if they can help. Regardless I‘ll add your name to the file and just read, tag & post whenever you complete a prompt. The form isn‘t really a deal breaker 🤫🤫🤫 @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft 5y

CarolynM Sounds like a plan👍 5y

julesG @CarolynM Just what I thought. I'll give it a try. 5y

CarolynM Good luck @julesG 🍀 We can cheer each other on🙂 5y

julesG @CarolynM Good plan! 5y

Cupcake12 @Cinfhen it‘s works 😀 I‘ve just read the document...is it one book per quarter or one of each of the points per quarter? 5y

Cinfhen Yay!!!!!! Every book read during that quarter even if it‘s from a different “season” earns you a chance for the drawing @Cupcake12 so one quarter you might have 10 chances and another quarter you may have read only 4 books. (edited) 5y

Cinfhen I‘m excited you‘re going to give it a go @julesG we try to make the prompts open to interpretation so you have extra wiggle room @CarolynM 😉 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Clearly, my participation was unnecessary are. 🤪 @Cinfhen @Cupcake12 5y

alisiakae @Cupcake12 Sounds like it‘s all sorted! Sorry I‘m super late chiming in, it‘s been a long day! 5y

Itchyfeetreader I am in this will be my only formal challenge if the year but love these prompts ! 5y

CocoReads I‘m in—hopefully I‘ll actually get it in this year! 5y

Cinfhen So excited to see you‘re both joining us @Itchyfeetreader @CocoReads 🎉💕🎉 5y

Cinfhen Yay!!! Glad you found the sign up without too much hassle @erinreads 😘Happy New Year 5y

Cinfhen Here‘s the signup link @Singout any more questions feel free to ask!!!! 5y

Singout Thank you! We just post and tag the books as we read them, right? 5y

Cinfhen Yes @Singout that‘s pretty much it 😁and have fun!!! (edited) 5y

Singout And, is there a forum just to chat about this challenge? 5y

Cinfhen There is a group on GoodReads but I‘m not sure how “active” that page gets @Singout !!!! @BarbaraTheBibliophage runs the page and she‘s all sorts of awesomeness 🙌🏻 (edited) 5y

Singout Thank you!!! Last question: think pink is a pink cover? I've got the rest figured out! 5y

Cinfhen It‘s really up to your interpretation @Singout it could be a pink cover, something to do with breast cancer awareness, maybe something about feminism whatever u come up with!!! I used a book that had hot pink lettering on the cover 💕💓💕 5y

Sace I'm not sure I'd be an official participant. I'm not interested in the giveaway or anything. Could I still find inspiration in the prompts and post when I finish a book? 5y

AmyG Oh, I‘m in. I already began choosing Winter books! 5y

alisiakae @bookwrm526 You can still post last quarter's reads if you read the books! Glad you're in for 2020! 🎉 5y

Violetta @4thhouseontheleft Thanks for the tag! 🙌 I'm still not finished with 2019, but certainly plan to do better next year! 😁 5y

Hestapleton Hahaha I‘ve already planned out all my choices! The announcement of 2020 reading challenges is my favorite time of year! 5y

alisiakae @Violetta You've still got time! @lizpixie 🎉 🎉 5y

Sresendez12 Just signed up! I read so many great books outside of my comfort zone this year because of #booked2019. Looking forward to what 2020 brings! 5y

alisiakae @Sace Absolutely! The giveaway is not mandatory for participation. And you've made a great point. Next year, I'll add an option on the form to opt out for the giveaway. 🙂 5y

alisiakae @AmyG 🎉 🎉Thanks for sharing on your page! 5y

Sace Yay! If it's OK, I'll lurk and be inspired in 2020 and maybe wait until 2021 to officially sign up? Lurking is what I do best 🤣 5y

alisiakae @Sresendez12 That's great! I'd love to know which prompts had you reading outside of your comfort zone the most? For me, it was related to a podcast, and CliFi. @Hesptapleton You're on a roll! This is a fun time of year! I'm working on my choices today. 5y

sammisho Thanks for the tag! I have been a little AMA and missed this! 5y

alisiakae @Sace If you haven't filled out the form yet, I can go in and edit that option now. Plus, I'll make a note of it. The giveaway is really just a side bonus, the real fun is sharing and seeing what everyone is reading! But either way is fine, you are welcome to lurk too! 😆 5y

Ashley_Nicoletto I failed miserably this year. Maybe 2020 will be my year! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 5y

alisiakae @MelissaSue81 Yes, you are signed up for next year! 5y

Sace Thank you! I still think I'll hold off on "official" participation. I know I love reading everyone's posts. I'm glad it's been successful ? 5y

andrew61 Thanks for the tag i have signed up. ☺ 5y

OriginalCyn620 Yay! I had a lot of fun with #booked2019 and signed up for #booked2020! I am looking at possibilities for Winter! 5y

sprainedbrain Thanks for the tag! I‘m definitely in... so glad you‘re doing it again next year! 5y

Megabooks Thanks for the tag!! I think I‘ve signed up? Can you check? Thank you! I‘m excited! 5y

IndoorDame Thanks for the tag! I‘ve slowed downed with #booked19 recently so I‘m not sure I‘ll finish everything, but I love how many new authors it introduced me to this year so I‘m psyched for #booked2020 ! 5y

Mandigolightly These are some interesting ones! 5y

Pamwurtzler Thanks for the tag! I fell off this year but will try again next year! 5y

AsYouWish This may be a silly question, (it has been a long week and my brain is ready to shut down!) but does Tartan Noir equal Scottish Romance? 5y

alisiakae @AsYouWish Tartan Noir is Scottish crime fiction. But we are always flexible with the interpretation of prompts! 5y

AsYouWish I could do Scottish Crime Fiction! I am all for anything Scottish related! Although I might need some suggestions of good ones! @4thhouseontheleft Thank you for answering so quickly!!! 5y

Butterfinger I signed up. EXCITED!!!! 5y

Bklover Thanks for the tag! Signing up right now! 5y

Bklover @BGam You might like this challenge for next year! 🙂 5y

Bklover Uhhhhh. Dumb question but what qualifies as a millennial author? 5y

Soozee Thanks for the tag. I enjoyed #booked 2019 so would be happy to sign up for #booked2020. 5y

alisiakae @bklover pretty much any author in the Millennial generation, born between 1981 and 1996, so they would be 23-38 years old. 5y

Bklover Got it- thanks! 5y

LauraBeth Thanks for the tag! I failed miserably this year with Booked but I‘m inspired to try it again for 2020! 😀 5y

StephanieMarie So excited! What authors would qualify as a pan Asian author? 5y

BGam Thank you 😊 5y

alisiakae @StephanieMarie It's a fairly vague definition, essentially an author from Asia. An Asian-American author would count as well, or interpret however you choose! This prompt has a lot of options. 5y

LittleBug Discovered #booked2019 too late, so real glad I saw this post in time to join☺️ 5y

YasmiNova Done! Let's see how far i get this time :) thanks for the tag @4thhouseontheleft! 5y

Cinfhen Hi @Emilymdxn Here‘s the sign up link 💕 5y

Emilymdxn @Cinfhen fantastic thank you for helping me! 5y

alisiakae @knt2g Here is the original post for next year's challenge! 5y

MoMogrl I bit the bullet and signed up. I failed at reading this year period, but this is a good challenge to get me back in to it. 5y

alisiakae @MoMogrl I‘m glad you‘re joining in! Even if you only read a few, that is okay! 5y

alisiakae @rsteve388 Here‘s the post! 5y

MicheleinPhilly WTF is tartan noir?? 😂 5y

Cinfhen @MicheleinPhilly well since you asked so NICELY: Tartan Noir is a form of crime fiction particular to Scotland and Scottish writers. 5y

MicheleinPhilly Hey, you know me Cindy! I don‘t beat around the bush! 😘 #philly 5y

Cinfhen I said SO NICELY for a reason #PottyMouth @MicheleinPhilly 😘 5y

erzascarletbookgasm VERY interesting. Will take a look 🧐😘 5y

erzascarletbookgasm What‘s Silk Punk?? 5y

TheEllieMo Not done this one before, can I check something? By “free to read in any order” do you mean that if I read something in Spring that fits a Fall prompt, I can still tick it off? 5y

Cinfhen Yup @TheEllieMo you can read complete seasons or bits and pieces from each season spread throughout the year🤓whatever strikes your fancy 5y

Cailey_Mac Sooo basically you can read any prompt from any season, as long as you finish all the seasons in one year correct? And is this starting in 2020 or now? 😊 5y

Cinfhen @erzascarletbookgasm silkpunk is a blend of science fiction and fantasy. silkpunk draws inspiration from classical East Asian antiquity. I‘ll find the list of recommendations and tag you 5y

Cinfhen @Cailey_Mac it starts Jan 1 - Dec 31 2020!!! It‘s fun and people get really creative with their choices which is always great!!! 5y

Cinfhen @Cailey_Mac and even if you only complete 10 prompts you‘re eligible to be entered on a drawing for each book read earns you a chance to win a gift card 5y

Cailey_Mac @Cinfhen oh cool! I think I will join then, and I hope with this next semester of college I will be able to balance my time out better so I can read; this semester has been murder for my reading 😅 5y

Cinfhen https://stevenrsouthard.com/whats-silkpunk/ @erzascarletbookgasm 5y

Cinfhen Awesome @Cailey_Mac don‘t stress about it!! Just read whatever you like and you‘ll be surprised how many boxes you‘ll tick off without even trying 🥳 5y

Cailey_Mac @Cinfhen awesome, will do! I‘m sure I will have fun doing it too📖🤗 5y

TheEllieMo @Cinfhen thanks 😊 5y

AnneCecilie I‘ve signed up. Looking forward to it. 5y

Reviewsbylola I quit #pop19 mid year for that reason! @Megabooks I‘m just doing this one next year. 5y

Bookzombie I‘m not sure I‘m going to complete this year‘s challenge. 😕I told myself no challenges next year, but your challenge is always fun and tempting! 🤔 5y

Cinfhen We tried to keep the prompts pretty vague @Bookzombie so lots of different books would work. Hopefully you‘ll find books that work without even trying 😊 and every book read earns a drawing entry so it‘s always a win!!! 5y

mrp27 Yay, I'm in! But I better get cracking so I can finish 2019! 😬 5y

Cinfhen Fantastic @mrp27 💜📚🧡📚💚📚 5y

JennyM I love waking up to find you‘ve dropped the prompts!!!! Thanks so much ladies for all you do. I so enjoy this challenge @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft @Cinfhen 5y

alisiakae @JennyM Thanks for the 💜! So happy you enjoy it! 5y

alisiakae @emilyhaldi You can still do it! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @JennyM Aww. Glad we could make your morning. 😘 5y

Cinfhen @JennyM as you were waking up, I was falling asleep 😴 So happy you‘re back for another round xx💋 5y

Cathythoughts Signed up & all 👍❤️ 5y

jenniferw88 Signed up! Can't wait to start planning later. Can probably give lots of recommendations for #gothichorror as my ma dissertation is on this! 5y

Cinfhen Great @jenniferw88 I‘ll definitely be asking you for suggestions when the time comes!!! I‘m reading Dracula now and I‘m really enjoying it way more than I ever expected 5y

Simona Just signed up! With my sporadic visits here it was quite possible that I would overlook my favorite challenge ... Thank you Cindy for tag ♥️ and thank you ladies for your work, time and thoughtful prompts. @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m in the planning mood 🤓😘 5y

alisiakae @Simona Glad you‘re coming back for another year! 5y

Cinfhen It wouldn‘t be a complete challenge without your participation @Simona xx so glad you‘re joining us 💕 5y

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen currently composing you an email re #gothichorror - you've chosen another of my #hobbyhorses (another being a certain tv show lol!). Will share some on here later but can go into more detail on the email! 5y

Cinfhen Thanks @jenniferw88 looking forward to seeing your thoughts 5y

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen just sent it! There's quite a few 🤣🤣🤣 5y

Crazeedi I just signed up!! 5y

Crazeedi I've not done this, are there rules? Do I have to have books planned and posted?? 5y

Hooked_on_books Ok, I‘ve seen these posts before but haven‘t previously joined, but I plan to jump in for 2020! Just signed up. 5y

SaturnDoo So excited to see this. I've been patiently waiting 🤣😂 thank you for hosting again. Lots of fun. 5y

Cinfhen Nope @Crazeedi @Hooked_on_books not necessary to “commit” to a plan!! Just read what you like/ when you like and you‘ll be amazed at how many prompts you‘ll check off. There are only 3 “rules” 1. Have FUN!! 2. U can ONLY use 1 book towards 1 prompt 3. To be eligible for the quarterly drawing you need to post a wrap up summary anytime during the last 10 days of the quarter (More info is given on the signup form) 5y

Cinfhen Excellent @SaturnDoo ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️looking forward to seeing what you read 😊 5y

Crazeedi @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen some of the prompts I dont understand, so I'm thinking I can ask for help?? 5y

alisiakae @Crazeedi you can absolutely ask for help! There are slightly longer explanations on the google form, have you had a look at that? If that doesn't answer your question, ask away! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Crazeedi We like to pick prompts that are a bit open to your own interpretation also. If it‘s a new genre to you, try googling also. There are always articles with ‘10 best/new books of this genre.” If not, ask away! 5y

Crazeedi @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage thank you!! 5y

Cinfhen @Kangaj1 click on the link in above blurb to sign up 😁 5y

Cinfhen Here you go @kaysworld1 ❣️❣️❣️Welcome to the group 🎉📚🎉📚🎉 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I hear ya. I'm not following the seasons too closely either! 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Well the seasons themselves seem a bit wonky this year too, so we‘re in good company I guess 🤷‍♀️ 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Haha yes. Or not so funny to have climate change! 🤪 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Agreed! Climate change is messing with our internal rhythms too. 6y

Nessavamusic @Cinfhen I liked the #femaledetective and #podcast prompts, they took me out of my normal genres 6y

Have you wanted to know just a little more about what the readers of #Booked2018 did? I combed through our spreadsheet and found some interesting facts.

We got excited at the beginning, but lots of people didn‘t finish. So if you struggled, you‘re not alone.

Most people used the challenge as we intend it—for fun and to connect with other readers.

p.s. It‘s not too late to join in 2019! Link in comments.

BarbaraTheBibliophage Details for 2019 can be found in the sign-up link here: https://goo.gl/forms/5jbH9jk5TaNPTvKt2 6y

rockpools Yay! Love this. Thanks to all of you for all of your work on the challenge🌻 6y

Pamwurtzler Thanks! Those are interesting stats. I can‘t remember if I officially signed up for 2019 or not so I‘m going to do it just to make sure! 6y

llwheeler Fun stats! Thanks for sharing, and for all your work hosting! 6y

gradcat This is fantastic...will you be keeping up with #Booked2019 like this? 😊 6y

gradcat @IamIamIam I‘m guessing fiction involving the climate? 🤔 6y

IamIamIam @gradcat AHA, that sounds like a viable option! Good thinking! 6y

mrp27 This is great! Thanks for the stats, so interesting. 6y

saresmoore Cool stats! 6y

Cinfhen Thanks so much for sharing these stats 🙌🏻😀I‘m happy to report that as of Jan 14 2019, I‘ve already entered 156 names for the quarterly drawing!!!! Looks like our Littens are off to a strong start!!! (edited) 6y

AnneCecilie Thanks for sharing the stats. 6y

Cinfhen The literary movement “Cli-Fi” (modeled after the term “sci-fi“) is any fictional work written about the effects of climate change and global warming. @IamIamIam if you google cli-fi it takes you to several book lists 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @IamIamIam @gradcat That‘s exactly right. Fiction involving climate change. Search the #clifi hashtag for some suggestions! 6y

AmyG Oh wow. I am honored to be one of the 20 to complete this. Thank you to the hosts...I had a blast! 6y

IamIamIam @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Thanks so much for the info and for hosting!!! I'm excited to go through #mountTBR and make a plan for the challenge!!! Looking forward to it! 😘🤗🤟 6y

LibrarianRyan Awesome. Thank you. Very interesting. 6y

squirrelbrain Really interesting - thanks for letting us all know! 6y

Cinfhen Glad you‘re joining us @IamIamIam I‘m also trying to use only books I own or I can borrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼 (edited) 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @llwheeler You‘re welcome! I love looking for info like this. 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @gradcat I‘m sure that by the end of the year I will have looked for some fun stats. Not sure how much I‘ll do each quarter, though. 6y

BarbaraBB Love the stats and I must admit I‘m a little proud to be one of the 20 who completed the challenge ☺️😉😘 6y

Kalalalatja I‘m super proud to be one of the 20 who finished! Here‘s to doing the same in 2019 🙌 6y

alisiakae Thanks for calculating these! @gradcat the spreadsheet we keep makes it easier to compile these stats, so we do plan on doing it in 2019 too! Maybe on a quarterly basis this year? @BarbaraBB @Kalalalatja @AmyG You deserve a 👏👏👏 for being in the group to complete all the prompts! 6y

AmyG Thanks @4thhouseontheleft. I was determinded to do this. I usually drop out of challenges. (edited) 6y

Butterfinger When it says "tag each of us," who are all involved?My next library haul is next week for winter's 6 prompts so I want to make sure I know what I'm doing because I usually don't. My next question, have I signed up for it already? 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Butterfinger I double checked—you‘re on the list! When you review a book you read for the prompt tag me, @Cinfhen and @4thhouseontheleft so we can track you for the giveaways. And because we like to high five ya! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @AmyG @BarbaraBB @Kalalalatja We are so so excited that you guys finished every prompt. It‘s a big deal for everyone who finishes a challenge. 🥰 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @LibrarianRyan @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB I‘m glad you guys appreciate these. I truly wasn‘t sure how many people would be interested! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @mrp27 @saresmoore @AnneCecilie Thanks for letting me know you like stats the way I do! 🥰 6y

Bookzombie Even though I was down to the wire finishing last year, I‘m so happy I completed #Booked2018 . I loved many of the prompts and I‘m excited about this year‘s too. (edited) 6y

AmyG @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thank you. It felt good. 6y

CouronneDhiver Interesting! 6y

BarbaraBB @IamIamIam For #clifi I can sooo recommend this book. It is a chunksters, I know, but you‘ll speed through: it reads like a mystery novel!

The Swarm: A Novel

erzascarletbookgasm Thanks for the stats! I only took up two seasons and I‘m glad I completed them. This year I think I‘m ready for all the seasons. 6y

IamIamIam @BarbaraBB Thanks so much for the recommendation! It looks great! 6y
