The comment section on our Group Guidelines thread has been closed and cleaned up. Our rules/guidelines are not up for debate; they are firm. Thank you.
Here are some challenges I've gotten posted so far. It's an all day every day thing right now to get these things posted, since Goodreads is now limiting new threads to one per hour. Very insane. Anyway, you may expect me to begin posting BEFORE Christmas next year if this new rule sticks (as I expect it will, sadly).Book-Buyer's Therapy

Working on the six-month challenges next.
You're welcome! I wasn't expecting this sort of a change this year. It's been years since they lowered the limit to three per hour, and I thought for sure that was as low as they'd go. Apparently, I was wrong.
Here are the six-month challenges for the first half of the year.Yours Or Mine?

As an author, I am not sure where to post information on my Christmas love story.
Hi, Marianne! A great place to share about yourself and your books is our Author & Book Introductions thread.
Goodreads has eaten a challenge twice on me, so I changed it up in hopes that it will stick. Can anyone see this one: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I think that's all my challenges that get posted now. I still have some other threads to post and some tidying up to do, but I'm going to spread them out over the next week.
Thanks for your patience, friends, as we moderators adjust to Goodreads's continually changing restrictions.

ATTENTION, EVERYONE:Friends, please be aware: A person named Lumi Sandhurst is apparently using "Christian Fiction Devourers" in emails to scam people out of money. She claims she can invite people to our group for a fee of over $150. We are NOT associated with this person. Please, please, do NOT pay anyone any money on behalf of our group. We do NOT charge for joining or participating in this group, of course. Just wanted to make you aware of the latest email scam going around.
Friends, I apologize for not yet updating the Challenge Catalogue. My next edit job arrived early, so I'm a bit behind on non-editing things at the moment. Will catch up soonish!

Sorry for the delay, folks! I completely spaced that we'd begun a new month. Working on my updates tonight.

I'll still be doing matchups on the 10th, so let's get those sign-ups in quickly. So sorry for the delay, friends!
Hi Staci & Kate, Just wanted to check if Andrea is ok? As the HG’s for May haven’t been selected from the 10th and this is unusual for Andrea to not post or say something if she behind. More bothered if she is ok than our selections if I’m honest :)

Hi Charlene. Your concern is much appreciated. More coming soon.

Charlene, you're SO sweet! Thank you for your concern! Life has been extraordinarily busy this month, and I'm simply not remembering everything like I usually do. Trying to get back on track for next month!
