Michelle, I love her idea, too. But I have female nieces only. And, step -grandkids are two females and 1 male, so I am out. BUT, it is a lovely idea.

Bea, you missed me, but maybe we cross-posted :)"


Yes, I was reviewing everyone's list and rearranging the names alphabetically...probably at the same time you were posting.

You are all set now Marina.

No problem, Star Trekker. However, we do have a SERIES thread (Seriously Serial '20) for focusing just on series.

8565 This game runs from January 1- December 31, 2020.

The object is to make a list of 10 books that have been on your TBR list the longest and get them finally read.

You are allowed to DNF any book that you list after giving it a try.

This game is part 1 of 3. The other parts will be announced when people start finishing their LOST list as they are based on the date LOST was finished. However, you are not required to participate in parts 2&3, which are just incentives for not letting the LOST books linger.

Good reading, everyone.

Nope, CluckingBell got all her picks. However, Jammin Jenny needs a pick for her 3rd roll.

During December, I hope to make a big dent in finishing some of the eight PnM challenges I have left, one of which I haven't even started.
