The Art of Racing in the Rain is a strange name for what it is - I know the first time I heard the title I automatically thought I wouldn't be interested. I can't remember what made me look at it more closely, actually!

I'm already doing the other Aussie annual challenge, but never mind!! Bring them all on! I'm sure I won't finish all of them (I won't finish all of this year's challenges), but I'll still enjoy myself along the way!

Thanks, Brenda! I think I'm catching up on some reads that I've missed out on but I know others have recently enjoyed in the last few years or so!

Except that I'm starting to get a bit confused with all my different challenges...! Think I'm going to have to make a thread with all of them in sooner rather than later to help me keep track!

I've got everything in a Word doc at the moment, but I find a thread is also helpful because then I can just click on names of books/authors to find out what I need. I can't click on my Word doc - unless I hyperlinked everything, and that's far too much trouble! Although...that's just made me think...maybe that would work... But ultimately I'm probably still going to have to set up a thread somewhere...

Sharon wrote: "Can someone tell me the best place to find a listing for A & B. Can't remember where to find it on GR or do I just google it?"
On every book's profile Sharon, if it has been given an award it will show - here's an example - The Eye of the Sheep - look down the information part of the book, and above the other editions and if there's an award it'll be there. So just check out any of your books to see what one has an award :) With the second one, just one that you know has been selling well is the way I look at it. A popular, often talked about like - Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, To Kill a Mockingbird
Does that help?
