Hi Cynthia. I signed up for team Hearts on the other thread but I don't see my name here.

I'm excited to be part of this challenge again! This challenge really helped me get some books off the TBR list, find new books, and exceed my reading goal for the year last time around.

A little about me...I'm a dog mom to my beautiful Doberman named Coco. I'm a nutritionist for infants and children. I mostly work in the neonatal intensive care unit to help premature and sick infants grow. I usually have a few books going at a time (audio, print, kindle).

I’d like to join Team Hearts ❤️!

# 61 updated.

I'm so glad I decided to participate in this challenge. It motivated me to read more than I usually do and seeing everyone's book choices and reviews made me try some books I probably would not have read otherwise. Thanks for organizing Laura! Hope to participate again next year!

Happy New Year!

I'm half way through Jane Eyre and The Secret History so hopefully I finish those soon.

I finished Anxious People and really enjoyed it. Thanks to all the group members reading that one for inspiring that read!

Updated post 60 with 2 of the books of the month. Yay for bonus points!

I have another book I am almost finished with. Then I plan to start Wuthering Heights for more Bonus Points. And I just borrowed Anxious People from the library since a few people have mentioned enjoying it.

Updated post 60

I second One Hundred Years of Solitude and Never Let Me Go

I second Project Hail Mary and Anxious People

I second The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and The Price of Salt

I updated post 60 with my first finished book of the month.
I'm currently reading The Scarlet Letter and plan to read the other bonus point books this month too.

I can't see the spreadsheet either Laura.

Happy Halloween! I added a few more books to message 59.

Wow...it's hard to pick. Maybe Broken (in the best possible way) because it made me laugh out loud!
