The only challenge we ask members to plan in advance is the Old & New challenge. All others can be filled as you read books the work for the individual challenge.

Alan, you can use your personal challenge thread to keep track of any challenge ideas you want. I have a 50 state challenge going in my thread, it's going slow, but it 's still going. Check out a couple of other member challenges and you may get some ideas.

Zehra, welcome to the group!

Welcome Alan and Steven, It's nice to have you both onboard. I look forward to future discussions.

Five stars, another for the TBR.

Congrats!!

Hello and welcome Cuitlahuac, I hope you enjoy your time with us!

I hear so many good things about Le Carre, I have my first planned for this year, fingers crossed.

Congrats on your Bingo. I'm hopping to get to Domby and Sons and Montana 1948, someday soon??? It's all downhill now.

I enjoyed your review and respect your opinion. Her writing and descriptions are what sold me on this story, sorry you didn’t connect
Our differences are what makes these discussions interesting. Better luck next time.

Antoinette, welcome to the group, I'm glad you are with us!

I read this last year for a bingo square and agree, it's an interesting fun read.

Matt, you are doing great. I remember laughing out loud at Gulliver's fire fighting skills.
