Hi there! Took a break from my travelling around the world (i've got 80 days plenty of time) to see your recommendations. Easily the most organized list i have seen so far. Thanks, can't wait to dive it!

I also prefer Scribd for audio books, also driving to and from work! Audible is too much for just 1 credit per month; i can usually do a few per month.

35559 Hello, everyone! Sorry I am late to the introductions; I saved the spreadsheets days ago and forgot checking in was needed!

I'm Kim. I live in Massachusetts but was born and raised in Philly, Pennsylvania. I work in Human Resources at a grocery store, so I've been working (and reading) as usual. My favorite genres are historical fiction, fantasy, and mystery/thriller. I'm not opposed to trying new styles though, like the occasional romance haha.

I've been on GR for about 8 years; just started joining challenge groups about a year ago. Quidditch was my first NBRC task last weekend and it was thrilling. This will be my first time with Wheel but Silje's communication from Cat seems fairly straight forward.

I had planned to do the BR for Five Feet Apart . I also have the following for BR in another group:
Throne of Glass
Thirteen Rising
Evelyn, After
The Queen's Assassin
Legendary
35559 Good match, both sides! This was so much fun!

Haha I thought it was quite clever!

I honestly feel I would've liked it better if they didn't say it was an Aladdin retelling. my expectations would have been different going in.
