Thank you Terri, I really appreciate the words of kindness from everyone on here. I have had processing time, and am ready to get back to my real life. I will still miss him and think about him but I need to get on with getting on.
So keep reading and hitting shelves and maybe now I will have time to do the same.

I know keeping up with these as a moderator can be very time-consuming, so, I appreciate any time given to this especially as personal issues can and do crop up! That said, I just want to check so I don't waste my time with posting (reading is never a waste of time!), but, is the challenge still active? I noticed that there have not been any mod updates, like what the random shelves are, etc. since mid-June.

Thanks for all the work so far!
