2025 RandomKIT Planning

Welcome to RandomKIT! The 2025 RandomKIT is now open for planning. We need monthly hosts. Please volunteer, as many of us love this challenge and want to see it continue. The fun part of this group is the element of surprise and unpredictability.

We are RandomKIT because the host gets to select the topic. The host posts the topic by the 15th of the previous month, including a description, topics, suggested reading, and so on. New hosts are always welcome. Let's be "random!"

January—Jackie_K
February—beebeereads
March—lowelibrary
April—Helenliz
May—donan
June—DeltaQueen50
July--LadyoftheLodge
August—clue
September—Tess_W
October—Robertgreaves
November--christina_reads
December—VivienneR

This is also one of my favorites but I have hosted a month ever since we started doing the RandomCat Challenges so I will wait and let others have a change to host first.

I love the RandomKIT, but I always have trouble coming up with themes. If the last few months don't get filled, I could probably put my hat in for one and come up with something, but I'm going to hold off.

Hi Everyone
In the past someone posted a link to see all the previous random kit/cat topics. I have several ideas for February, but need to make sure I am not repeating one that was recently done. Any ideas of that link or how to find that info? Maybe previous wikis? But I'm not sure how to find them.Thanks!

>30 beebeereads: Here’s an index of all past years’ wikis; https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/List_of_Category_Challenge_wikis

ETA: The wiki appears to be down right now. I suspect it will be fixed when staff is back after the holiday.
