Hi Evyan. Great to see you joined. I'll be tranfering the Monthly Challenge over here from Jan, but I'll be making a copy of Dec's here also.

Hi Vanessa. Welcome.
I love Historical Fiction too. Have you read much Tracy Chevalier?

Welcome to everyone who has joined. It's really great to see so many regulars here. Hopefully this will be a fun environment for everyone and perhaps more people might join in on the Monthly Reading Challenge, if nothing, it's a great way to keep track of the books you have read 😊
Welcome, welcome, and enjoy your new book club. 😊

I won't get to work on it until Saturday. Work is hectic and I'm working lates this week. I was going to finish out Dec in LOABA but we can transfer it here, but everyone has to transfer their own, it won't let me do it...I can only transfer my own too. I will open Dec 2021 and we can transfer our challenges over.
Great you have joined, June. We will continue January's for sure here. 😊

I see a few have joined, so that's brilliant... who knows, we might even have more joining us now. If nothing else, it is a great way to keep track of what you read.

Haha...Wishy Washy 🤣

Is 400 pages a bit low, maybe 450 pages? What do you think?

Yes, Bill, that's what I was thinking. Hopefully more people will move over. It definitely has its regulars playing every month.

No reasoning to this list, except that I have these books and I will read them :)
I'll be inserting the actual version of the book I own as I read them.

Good luck with all your challenges book friends :)

This one is one mine. I started it a while ago and read others in between finishing it.
