Oh my goodness! Elizabeth and Kate, thank you so much for all the work you've put into this over the years. This is my favorite corner of the internet and favorite bookish community. I am so sad! But totally understand and am so grateful for the years of fun and community you've built.

If anyone has leads on other challenge groups that are anywhere close to as good...let me know! I don't know that I'm ready to lack a reading challenge in my life yet :)
