Time's run out on the challenge, so the leader as of Jan 31st wins. Congratulations to BJ Rose.
Please make up our next challenge BJ.

[Becky]

Am I the only one who gets dithery between challenges? I can't settle on which book to read, because what if I finish it and then it turns out that I could have used it for the next challenge?

Maybe it's just me. My brain can be a very strange place sometimes. :P

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ]

I'll give BJ Rose until this afternoon to set up a new challenge. If she doesn't see it in time, I'll go ahead and make the next challenge this afternoon.

[BJ Rose]

Sorry, everyone! I didn't even think about time running out, and I've been totally immersed in A Discovery of Witches. Working on a challenge now, and am going to backdate it to yesterday, if that's OK, Kate? Will be back soon!!

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ]

That's fine BJ. Enjoy "A Discovery of Witches". It was my favorite read of last year and I have it sitting here to reread soon.
