2025 RandomKIT Planning

Welcome to RandomKIT! The 2025 RandomKIT is now open for planning. We need monthly hosts. Please volunteer, as many of us love this challenge and want to see it continue. The fun part of this group is the element of surprise and unpredictability.

We are RandomKIT because the host gets to select the topic. The host posts the topic by the 15th of the previous month, including a description, topics, suggested reading, and so on. New hosts are always welcome. Let's be "random!"

January—Jackie_K
February—beebeereads
March—lowelibrary
April—Helenliz
May—donan
June—DeltaQueen50
July--LadyoftheLodge
August—clue
September—Tess_W
October—Robertgreaves
November--christina_reads
December—VivienneR

Hurrah. This is my favourite CAT.
If no-one minds, I'd like to volunteer for April.

I have an idea for October, if nobody else wants it

I volunteer to take March.

>2 Helenliz: >3 Robertgreaves: >4 lowelibrary: Thank you for being the first volunteer hosts!

>2 Helenliz: This is also my favorite!

This is also one of my favorites but I have hosted a month ever since we started doing the RandomCat Challenges so I will wait and let others have a change to host first.

I can do February.

>8 beebeereads: Thanks, so noted.

>7 DeltaQueen50: You are always welcome to host! Don’t wait too long!

I can take August.

>11 clue: It's yours!

I've thought of a theme so why break with tradition. I'll take June.

13. Yeah!

>13 DeltaQueen50: Thank you! We now have one half of our months spoken for.

I'll take May!

>16 donan: Got it, thanks!

I can do January.

>18 Jackie_K: Thanks! Got it

I love the RandomKIT, but I always have trouble coming up with themes. If the last few months don't get filled, I could probably put my hat in for one and come up with something, but I'm going to hold off.

>20 LibraryCin: Okay, I will have you on standby.

Could I please have September?

>22 Tess_W: Yes, thank you! So noted.

November and December remain open for host duties.

I'll take December.

>25 VivienneR: Thank you! November is the last month left.

I'll grab November then!

>27 christina_reads: Thank you! We are complete for 2025.

Hi Everyone
In the past someone posted a link to see all the previous random kit/cat topics. I have several ideas for February, but need to make sure I am not repeating one that was recently done. Any ideas of that link or how to find that info? Maybe previous wikis? But I'm not sure how to find them.Thanks!

>30 beebeereads: Here’s an index of all past years’ wikis; https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/List_of_Category_Challenge_wikis

ETA: The wiki appears to be down right now. I suspect it will be fixed when staff is back after the holiday.

>31 Charon07: Thank you so much.

>39 kac522:, I've been keeping an eye out and haven't seen one. Been trying to remind myself that May is still two weeks away even though I'm always looking for new threads on the 15th lol.

>40 whitewavedarling: I sent a message to the host for May but haven’t heard back yet.

>41 LadyoftheLodge: Thanks for the update.

I will wait a few days and if it is not posted yet, I am ready to host.
