Ultimate Popsugar Reading Challenge - Goodreads

This group is for people who want to participate in the Popsugar reading challenge for 2017. This year the Popsugar website posted a reading challenge that included a list of 40 different ways to choose your next book to read plus an additional 12 for an "advanced challenge". In this group we will follow those lists (whether you do all 52 or stick to 40) to choose books to read for 2017. Starting January 1, 2017 we will compare books, lists and the number of books we've all read from the list. See the discussion topic labeled "Challenge Checklist" for the list. Anyone is welcome in this group so feel free to invite your friends!
