Wonderful!

I am quitting on this challenge. That is a formal decision that I have been toying with all year.

I do not intend to finish it at a later date, either.

I had 27 books originally planned and have only been able to read 7. This game just is not happening for me. I have to face facts. I cannot do all games!

Congrats, Meg.

Tien, I really liked this game. Thanks.

Congratulations!

I did well in the last two draws! But can i actually get the books read in time....?"

I hope so, Meg. For me, I have 3 left to read. I will finish one, but the other two are owned books...and well, I will get to them eventually.

Well done, Bea!"

Thanks, Lauren. Might have done better if I had thought to look ahead for Bingos. LOL. Still glad to have made the one.

My rollover is 9. Total goal: 11

But, I lucked out. One library book on my desk that was planned for Oct (pub date) also works for Nov (TBR date)!

Lagullande, you can do both Found as well as LOST and Found at the same time, if you wish. And, yes, Tien is right. It is one or the other condition not both.

Authors can be repeated if the book meets the criteria chosen.
