I did PM Angela the other day to check in. It looks like she may not have been on Goodreads recently. If I don't hear from her by the end of the month, I will work on a final ranking for Round 18.

Great job everyone!
Guess there isn't going to be another challenge?
Beth NC wrote: "Guess there isn't going to be another challenge?"When Angela and I spoke back in October, she was trying to reboot the challenge in a different direction and was going to go back to moderating. I have messaged her and haven't heard back and it looks like she hasn't been online for a few months.
I do not have the time to moderate Round 19 but if someone wants to take over until Angela gets back, I'm sure she would appreciate it. I know she really wanted to keep the challenge going.
Anybody heard anything about this challenge starting back up?
Lori wrote: "Anybody heard anything about this challenge starting back up?"I haven't heard anything. According to her profile, it looks like Angela hasn't been on Goodreads since December 2013.
It was such a good challenge. I haven't been reading much since I started a new job. I came back here to look for motivation. :) If someone starts it again...
