Thanks Renn! I found a good fantasy story on Tor.com and am excited to explore more. I will definitely be reading more stories there!

Updated message 20. I have 20 points. I am working on a book right now but probably won't finish by tomorrow. I still have 5 easy point getters if I can find something to read that qualifies.

I was hoping to read Daisy Jones and the Six but I can't find my copy :(

I am going to try to read more easy point getters for the month.

I think I’m going to start with Daisy Jones & the Six to get my bonus half point but I also plan to read Haunting on Hill closer to Halloween! I usually read 2 or 3 books at a time so I will also start out with either Where There Was Fire by John Manuel Arias or Family Lore by Elizabeth Acevedo in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.

Hi, I'm Marina from Los Angeles, Ca. I think this is my third time participating in this challenge. I live with my husband and our pet Doberman named Coco and I work at a children's hospital. I can't wait to start this challenge! GO TEAM SAM!

I would like to join team Sam! So excited for this challenge!

I’ll join. I bought this book because of all the buzz it was getting but never got around to reading it. Now it’s the perfect time to start!

I'm joining in! I have wanted to read this book since the movie came out. I haven't seen the movie, but probably will after I finish the book. I'm currently listening to the audio. Enjoying it so far!

Message # 49 updated.

Happy New Year! It has been a pleasure reading with you all!

My points for this month are lower than the previous months because I have been sick for the last 10 days (not so fun) and also diverted some of my usual reading time to watching holiday movies (corny but I love them). I still managed to surpass my reading goal for the year by 20 books so not a bad reading year!

Updated Message 48. Hoping to add some more easy point getters before the month is over.

Updated message # 48.

I'm going to listen to Winne the Pooh next. And I will try to get the rest of my easy point-getters and finish the 2 pt book I'm currently reading. I have 13 points right now so hopefully, I will end up with about 19 points.
