Congrats to those who have finished this season’s challenge!
Good going to all who finished last season’s challenge; I managed to finish all your 25 and 30 pointers, and I had a good time doing it. The 20 Point Tasks were wonderful, and I’m sorry I did not get to all of them.
As for this summer …I’m 10 books short, and have banged my head against the Wall of Shame so many times, my brain hurts. (sigh)
Thanks, Mods, for keeping all my records straight. I appreciate it!
