The rules are whatever you want to make of them, but here are the guidelines I go by:Join us and Live by the Foma!
- Must Be A Novel. Works of fiction only, please. Memoirs, non-fiction, how-to books, and Garfield collections don't count.
- Memoirs Aren't Novels. No matter how made up the story, anything ostensibly true isn't a novel. Also known as The James Frey Rule.
- Start and Finish in January. I guess if you got some cool books for Christmas, Hanukkah or some other gift-giving event and jumped the gun, you can't be blamed. But I only count books I start and finish within the 31 day window.
- Re-reading Doesn't Count. Try something new. Read something by your favorite author or try an entirely new author or tackle that novel you have always wanted to read.
- Have Fun. Nobody is grading you or paying you or judging you. Read what you like and like what you read.

Congratulations and good luck. Fourteen re-reads is a lot of books. Years ago I pledged to reread all my Travis McGee books but I petered out after three.
I am joining too!
