Renee’s comments from the The Reading Challenge Group group.

I’ve also started East by West A Journey in the Recess, Volume 1 which is filled with dry & witty descriptions and observations on Lucy’s travel journeys.

Hysterically was supposed to be recently. Although my spell-correct May be commenting on my state of mind.

My “travel plan” was originally to choose books in exotic locals, like Russia and India, etc. But all the books I chose are quite long so I’m going back to a traditional interpretation and gong with some straight up adventure stories. :)

I hysterically started The Mark Of Zorro. My plan to read across the globe is taking too long. Like 80 Days long!!!!

Technically a T. But if you get close to the end of the year without a K, you can totally slip it in. :) Although, I thought The Kiss Quotient was adorable.

I’m at 81% which is amazing after last year. I’m not going to increase my goal though. I like the feeling of being ahead for awhile.

PS. Hi, Holly!!! So happy to see you! You’ve been missed. <3

Nifty!!

Ha! That used to be me, but not this year. This year I’m all about the feathers!

Great going, Cindy!

If you decide to do that and want to post here I’d be happy to proffer encouragement and chat about the story as you go. :)

Eileen-
It really helped me to plan it over the course of a year. One chapter a day. Otherwise some of Hugo’s digressions might have bogged me down.

Thanks, Gena!

Buddy reads are wonderful!

Happy June indeed!!! ⛵️🌽🌸☀️🌈

I’ve been thinking maybe I’d read about places I think are exotic... Like The Far Pavilions for India, and A Gentlemen in Moscow for Russia, maybe something Outlander or some Walter Scott. And maybe I’ll finally finish The Covenant by Michener for Africa.

So awesome to see how many people are going for multiple rounds! Great going, everyone!

Brava!

I enjoyed The List City Of Z much more that I expected.
