Welcome to the 17th year of the challenge! We get lots of new people each year, and we know it can be difficult to "catch up". This thread is just the place for you! The info below will help you get started and make your experience here a good one.
Please stop by our Introductions thread to meet folks.
First, where did we come from? Well, back in 2008, Cariola decided to start a group for folks who wanted to challenge themselves to read 75 books in a year. We were a small group, but loved our experience, so decided to do it again! Since then, I've made the yearly groups.
We're at bit of an amorphous organization. Members have jumped in to add features since. SqueakyChu runs the TIOLI challenge. Monthly themes are proposed by many of us - and some have carried over from year to year, like the Halloween read in October. If you've got an idea to try, propose it!

Thanks for creating this group anew for 2025, Jim. Isn't it amazing we've all been together as a group for so long? I love everyone here so much...especially those of you I have been able to get to know in real life!
Jim, I'm truly honored to have been mentioned in your opening post. Seriously. Wishing all the folks here, veterans and newbies alike, happy holidays and a wonderful New Year!
