Mod post: Announcement regarding 2021 plans for the community.
Hello all! I hope everyone is doing well and are managing this crazy year as best as they can.
I wanted to take a quick moment to announce after discussing this with keli we have decided that we will not be hosting a reading challenge or bingo game in 2021. This is not a decision we've reached lightly, but due to the ongoing pandemic and the real life issues we (plus justjo2u) are dealing with both pandemic-related and otherwise, we do not have the extra time to give a game or challenge the attention it deserves (see the 2020 challenge as an example. We set it up and then all hell broke loose, and the community didn't get any attention from the mods at all.)
We will, however, be leaving the community open in the hopes that it will become a general books/reading community...at least for 2021. We would love for you all to share other reading challenges or reading related games you may be participating in, book memes/quizzes, book reviews, book recs (either asking for or sharing) or just general book discussion. I am making a resolution to be more active here myself in the coming year.
At the end of 2021, we will reevaluate and make a decision as to the future of the community in the coming years.
As always, we are so thankful to each and every one of you who have participated in this community in the past.

ETA as of 1/16/21: keli had the brilliant idea to have a series of small, stress free "mini bingo" games/challenges throughout the course of the year. You can find the first of these posted here. Enjoy!
