JennH’s comments from the 2025 Reading Challenge group.

Hi Christina! 10 books is a solid goal and you're already on target to pass the number of books read last year. Progress! I hope you're enjoying your 2025 reads so far. Happy reading!

Hi Carolyn! Hope all is okay, that you've been making progress on your goal, and enjoying your 2025 reads! Happy reading!

Hi Carolyn! I'm rooting for you to hit your goal, and then some! Especially now that you've gotten your reading mojo back. 😃 I hope you continue to enjoy lots of fantastic books! Happy reading!

Hi Beth! Hope all is well, that you're making great progress on your goal, and you're enjoying lots of amazing books so far this year! Happy reading!

Hi Audrey! I'm rooting for you to meet your goal! I hope as a new retiree, you get to have time to enjoy all the things, including reading.

I love seeing all the books on your reading journey through the years! I spot quite a few that I have really enjoyed - Outlander, Parable of the Sower, Oryx and Crake, The Secret Garden, Remarkably Bright Creatures, Every Heart a Doorway to name a few... Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow also stands out because while I already liked it for the nostalgia, I inadvertently visited the Glass Flowers Gallery while on vacation. It was absolutely gorgeous. Then I was confused as to why the gift shop was selling Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. 😊

I hope you're enjoying retirement and many fantastic books! Happy reading!

Hi Anshika! Hope all is okay and you're making progress on your goal. Don't be hard on yourself. Don't worry about a slow start, we've all been there! I'll be cheering you on!

Hi Anna Rachel! Hope all is well. Looks like you smashed your goal! Wow! Way to go! I love your genre plan. I certainly need to be better about that. I've gotten better being a part of Goodreads but it's pretty obvious that mysteries dominates my reading.

I hope you've been successful potty training your son. Definitely not one of my favorite parts of motherhood.

I keep meaning to read The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration. I'd read Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. Such an important read.

I hope you are enjoying your 2025 reads, and discovering new genres to love! Happy reading!

Hi Alyshia! Hope you're doing well, making good progress on your goal, and reading terrific books along the way! Happy reading!

Alison wrote: "I am starting The Unwelcome Guest by Aaron Quinn. it's not on goodreads, or I can't seem to find it."

So I looked into it a little bit and I believe, possibly, the reason The Unwelcome Guest is not on Goodreads is because it's a self published book. It may need to be requested to be added.

Hi Alison! 25 books is a great number of books to reach for! We're here to cheer you on as you reach it! Looks like you're making great progress on your goal. I hope you are enjoying lots of terrific books along the way. Happy reading!

Hi Alan! Hope all is okay and you are making progress in your goal of reconnecting with your love of reading. I hope you are giving yourself grace to slowly rediscover the joy in books. I can relate to the frustration of books not being enough of a distraction and escape for the noise in my life. I've turned to music and television, which are normally not my go-to's. I'm here to support you as you achieve your goal. Wishing you happy reading!

Hi Alan! Hope all is okay, that you are making good progress on your goal, and enjoying many wonderful books so far this year! Happy reading!

Hi Ági! I see you are making good progress toward your goal and it looks like you're enjoying your 2025 reads so far. I'm quite impressed with your list of planned books. I am not much of a nonfiction reader. I've read Astrophysics for People in a Hurry but while enjoyable, I'm afraid much of it went over my head. I'm here to cheer you on as you strive towards your new goal. Happy reading!

Hi Amber! You are smashing your goal, and then some! Amazing! I hope there have been lots of fantastic reads so far this year. I enjoyed The Bear and the Nightingale and Hamnet. And you really can't go wrong with Tolkien J R R. Happy reading!

Hi Wiltshire Hermit! I hope all is okay, you have been making good progress on your goal, and reading a lot of great books so far this year! Happy reading!

Hi Victoria! I hope you have been able to find time for your personal books while doing the required class reading. I know I struggled with that when I was in school, and I didn't even have that much required reading.

If you still have any questions, please feel free to ask. I'll try my best to help or at least point you in the right direction.

Hope that there have been wonderful books in your reading journey so far this year! Happy reading!

Hi Veronica! Hope life is treating you well and you are still able to squeeze in some reading. I hope you are making good progress on your goal and you are reading some fantastic books along the way. Happy reading!

Hi Vee! Hope all is well! I hope you are making good progress on your goal and you're enjoying lots of great books. Happy reading!

Hi Vanessa! Looks like you're making good progress on your goal. You can do it! I'm rooting for you! I hope you are enjoying lots of amazing books. Happy reading!

Hi Ursula! Looks like you're smashing your goal. Woohoo! I hope you are enjoying lots of great books. What did you think of A Court of Thorns and Roses series? My plan is to read A ​Court of Silver Flames this year.

Happy reading!
