Great job, everyone! This was such a fun and inspiring challenge.

I was wondering why the 2020 version wasn't posted and was worried there for a bit that you wouldn't continue it, but then I saw your explanation and found this year's challenge. Whew!

Love this challenge! This year my range will include books added more than 5 years ago. And I'll plan to read two books a month. **Increasing goal to 3 books a month.
**Increasing goal again to 40 books for the year.
**Increasing goal for the last time (!) to 4 books a month (48 total).
