Kadijah Michelle (kadmich) | 2176 comments Hello All,

This may be my last update for January.

Just a heads up, I will not be able to make any updates for this thread until Feb. 7 because I will not have access to my lap top. I will be able to check in on my mobile devise for questions, so don't hesitate to message me.

Here are the statistics for this challenge so far:
We have 152 participants and have read 347 books so far this year! Great job everyone!

See you in February!
