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

Congrats, Meg! I wish I could remember when I'd bought some of the books I haven't yet read.

Take your time, Vicky. There is a lot going on here but you choose what you're interests in. Start with the How To Use This Group thread. Take a peek at our Group Reads. Then just browse around. There's no rush and plenty of friendly people. So glad you're here.

You, too, Lee. Welcome! ;)

I'm way behind my usual number by this time. I reread The Odyssey and finally read The Last of the Mohicans.
I also read Shards of Honor, the first in a scifi series. It was quite good and surprisingly the author's first novel. That's it. Three.
I'll finish A Question of Upbringing by the end of the month for four, but I'm already way behind my goal. BooHoo. At least they were all really enjoyable reads. :)

Just finished Mohicans via Audible. Reader was Larry McKeever. He did an excellent job. The story was great but the writing was cumbersome and redundant in many places. I'm really glad to have finally read it, though.

I thought I'd be doing something else for this challenge, but it turns out that the first book in the series I planned for this year is actually the authors' first novel. And it was terrific!

Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold - FINISHED!**

Woohoo. I've got my copy from the library!

Holly,
How was your Stratford Upon Avon trip? I've been hoping for a little vicarious visit.

Congrats, Sam!

Gareth-
Yes, you can do bingo-TBR crossovers. I think they'll blend nicely.

I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy yet. Does this book (and A Man Called Ove) have a Scandinavian flavor?

Yeah. The squirrels would probably chew o boards anyway.

Woot woot! Nice Work, Allison!

Welcome, New Members!

Welcome, Grace and Jenn!

You have my sympathy, Erin. It's always hard to lose a loved one. I'm sure the time you spent with your uncle and your family was a comfort to them.

Good to know. Thanks, Amber. :)

Great feedback, Hollly! I'll definitely move her up on my TBR. :)

Hi, Shelly! This is a very friendly place. Glad you're here!

I'm sure it won't be your last, Gillian. :)

Welcome, All!

Hahaha! That's fine. Has she gotten to Z?

Congrats on all the new authors, Guys! It's great to try something new, even if it doesn't mean you've found a new favorite.
