LaurLa’s comments from the Pick-a-Shelf group.

Almost there... just a handful left to read. Really gonna try to finish this round in August.

Goals: Total Pages = 110,136

🌸Goal for Round 1: 11% = 12,114 pages -- DONE!!
🌸Goal for Round 2: 12% = 13,216 pages

🌸50 Spins = 13,264 pages🌸
Completed: 43 of 48 books

I finally completed Round 1... I can't believe it took me so long. Very unlike me but I guess some of these just didn't fit in other challenges along the way... Ironically, I'm almost done with Rounds 2 and 3. Those both went much faster for some reason.
