spoltz - 2014-01-08 1:04 AM I think I've come up with an idea that's been percolating between the WOGF challenge and my own challenge to read all the Hugos: Did you discover an author in a past challenge or in the past few years and think, "I just HAVE to read more of that author," but your reading list is so long, you haven't gotten to it? Maybe you want to immerse yourself in one author. Pick 12 books by authors you recently discovered and read another one of their works. Perhaps 12 books by Ursula LeGuin, or another book by every author you read during WOGF or Grand Masters. Write 12 reviews in 12 months and have fun! But I need help. I haven't figured out where I create the challenge. Thanks! Steve

Hey Steve, it sounds like daxxh's Read the Sequel challenge might be what you're looking for.

To create your own challenge just click the big "Roll-Your-Own" button in the right sidebar on the challenge page.  Don't forget that you can create your own personal challenge too and mark it private.  For instance, for your Hugo goal you can make a personal challenge to read 50 Hugos this year and fill it up with the books you intend to read.  Of course, a Hugo challenge would be a popular idea though you might have to make it fewer books to keep it attractive to other members.

So far all the challenges are just 12 books which is cool since that means you can probably choose more than one.  I'm on 2 so far and already I want to do the In Translation and Masterworks challenges.  And it's only going to get worse as you guys keep making more cool challenges!
