Welp, we made it. Basically. Week 52 is all of three days long, so any changes will be tough to make.
Now for some housekeeping: If you’re inclined to do this challenge again next year, you can get the updated spreadsheet here:
As with last year, make sure you save a copy of it for yourself in your google drive, and then share the document with me. If you make it public, I can link to it and everyone can see it. If you have questions, go ahead and ask. Year two of this should be pretty fun now that people kind of have an idea of what the pacing takes and what sort of requirements they want to make. If you want to adjust the standards for your list, feel free. If you want help, also feel free to ask. Setting your own requirements and goals is just fine.
The spreadsheets can be shared with mathew[dot]wend[at]gmail[dot]com
And now, the penultimate standings.

This is amazing! How do I join and how do I use the spread sheet?
Cheers,

If I make my list public, will my email address be public also?
I’m fairly certain no, though you can click on the spreadsheets of the people who participated last year and see if you can find their email addresses from what’s posted. If not, then there’s your answer.
Mike, I tried finding other peoples emails by clicking on the links and found none. I think you’re good.
Mat, this is Spif. This might be a dumbass question but lord knows you’re used to those from me. I’m unfamiliar with Google Drive as this contest is the only the doc I have ever used with it. The question is this: can I create new doc off of the one I have in Drive already or do I need to DL the new one from the link you provided? I tried to make a copy but it copied with all the info and I’m too lazy to delete everything individually. (P.S.,I’m dumb)
btw Mat, I’m going to add my wife in to this as well. Her name is Jamie, I’ll post he link here in a minute.
nm, I just realized I could send you the link right from the doc. I’m dumb. So, you should have it at your gmail along with mine.
One last thing, thanks for doing this. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this little contest and found that it really pushes me and reminds me to read more. It’s also awesome to look back at the weird, snaking pattern of what I read. Thanks for taking the time to do the updates and stay on top of all this. I really appreciate it. I hope everything’s going good for you out there, brother.
No problem, brother. Glad it’s going well for you. Things here are great. I got your wife’s list, but not yours. Fix that. Otherwise, if you have questions email me.
Glad to see you’re just as ridiculous as always.
Mat, I have decided to join y’all this year, having previously read maybe 5 books last year I don’t expect to top more than 20 but I am going to give it a go, if anything you guys will inspire me to read more books than I have ever read
That’s fantastic news! I look forward to you making your best effort and no amount is a bad amount as long as you try for it. Get out there and enjoy reading!
