I joined this group a little over a year ago, but haven't really participated because work made for a crazy year. Determined to be more active on Goodreads in 2019 since I not only find it fun and relaxing, but being a librarian I find I get a look of good titles to help me with my Readers' Advisory for my patrons. This challenge looks really fun - Happy New Year and Happy Reading Everyone.
