Sherri’s comments from the Around the Year in 52 Books group.

The weather here is awful. I'm through running around today so I will read all day. My current read is Blanche on the Lam. I probably won't finish today but will tomorrow.

I put Black Girl, Call Home by Jasmine Mans under red on cover. Congratulations on baking the Madeleines.

I finished Black Girl, Call Home. I'm not sure where to put it. Suggestions welcomed.

The trip I thought I was taking tomorrow to visit my mother happened today so I hardly read today. Will do what I can tonight. On the upside I have all day tomorrow.

Good Morning, I put My Monticello under mini rolls. Red on the cover. My current read is The Secret Lives of Church Ladies . My goal is to finish today. Tomorrow is busy for me. I will probably check in during the evening.

I finished My Monticello byJocelyn Nicole Johnson. I will put it somewhere on the spreadsheet in the morning. I’m tired.

3. Are you participating in the team or individual challenges?
I was just doing the team participation but the individual challenge looked like fun so I'm doing that too.

Also Borrowing Kathy's set up. Thank You.
