THANKS!!!"

Sorry, for forgetting to do this, Susan. It is now up and ready for you.

This part of our game will focus on both the LOST books (the oldest on the TBR) and the FOUND books (the newest on the TBR).

1. For this game, you will read 10 books.

2. Three (3) must be your oldest or LOST books. Use conditions 1 & 3 for this task.

3. Three (3) must be your newest books since finishing LOST 2024, that is your FOUND books. Use conditions 2 & 4 for this one.

4. For the other four (4), you may choose any of the listed conditions.

Conditions for choosing books:
1. From one author read for LOST: read another book of that author that was either published and/or added to your TBR at a later date.
2. From one author read for FOUND: read another book of that author that was either published and/or added to your TBR at an earlier date.
3. a LOST book (ie. Longest on Shelf TBR).
4. a FOUND book (ie. added to your TBR in the past 6 months & was published prior to date you completed LOST).

Happy Reading!
