[JoAnne]

I have one to add but I did not get very far!

[Connie N.]

I just can't seem to wrap my head around this one, apparently. I've tried it 3 different times and failed miserably each time. *sigh* (It's not like I don't have enough other challenges to keep me busy.)

[JoAnne]

Let it go! Is there a kids song like that.... LOL I probably have the melody right with the wrong lyrics!

Not all challenges work! I used to get upset when I couldn't complete a challenge but there's always another one out there....

[Connie N.]

And another one...and another one...and another ten...

WOOHOO Sandra!

Welcome Joanna!

[Vanessa]

I think I figured out my roadblock on this challenge... the suggestions and lists keep changing! 🤨 I started off with good intentions, picked my books, and then they weren't on Readers Also Enjoyed anymore! So then I go back and try to figure out what the heck my chain was going to be. I am going to try to finish this year's and try a new tactic next year, because I LOVE the idea of this challenge.
