bazhsw - 2022-01-01 12:13 PM For a number of reasons I have had a few years where I have not been able to read as much as I would like to (thankfully that feels in the past now) but I still have such fond memories of that challenge, and the Grand Master Challenge around the same time. Both really opened my vistas to reading new authors, increasing the diversity of my reading and opening up both books from the past I have missed and getting up to speed with more modern books. If you had said that was a decade ago I'd have said 'no way!' It's a testament to you and everyone involved how that morphed into this 'new idea' of the RYO challenges and I am sure many visitors here over the years have experienced the same richness and diversity and rewarding experiences that I have. Time to raise a glass I think, and say congratulations to this site that has played it's own role in encouraging people to open their vistas in what was perhaps once viewed through a white, male lens. Bravo!

Thanks for the kind words! We are really proud of how the RYO has come along for the last number of years. The community has taken to it with gusto and a lot of creativity. It's great to see everyone getting into the spirit of the challenges and branching out to try new authors and challenge their own reading habits.

We have some new features to add to the next edition of the RYO that we think folks are going to like so keep coming back -- we'll be here!
