I just finished one book tonight and am on track to finish a second before the end of the week. I’m also working on an audio book that I might be able to squeeze in for a third book.

I'm finally tackling The Nightingale this week with 440 pages. It's one of my MIL's favorite books and has been on my radar for a while. I'm hoping to finish by Thurs. so I can return it to the library when I go.

I haven't found any animals yet, but I know it will definitely work for three different sins - Sloth, Vanity, and Gluttony. Is there a method for deciding which sin I should use it for?

Checking in for the week :)

I finished my second book of the week last night. I started a third and I'm already really into it, so I may be able to finish it before week 2 ends.

I am on track to finish a second book and *possibly* a third before the end of week 1.

Week 2 books don't need to be started after week 2 starts, right? So if there is a book I don't finish this week, I can finish it next week and it will still count?

I’ve enjoyed having you guys as teammates! Great challenge!

Hi all! I’m in Phoenix for a conference and will be flying home on 10/7. My flight leaves at 10pm MST so I’ll try to check in and see what I can start reading on the plane to kick off the challenge!

I finished my book! I’ll be able to get to my computer in a couple hours and update the spreadsheet with the page number for the word animal. But if someone wants to mark me as finished for now, that would be so helpful!

Do you think would work for a natural setting? I have that now and can start reading tomorrow morning. If not, I have to stop at the library tomorrow on my way home from work and can definitely find something else that will work.
