As Jacque wrote : January number is 4

[Sophie]

Sorry, I am being confused: where do I find number 4?

[Keli]

Hi, Sophie. I think Jacque picked it for Jan. Linda wrote it on my individual thread. Sandra, who took over for Diane last year, is not moderating this challenge for 2025. So Linda, Shahar and Jacque have sort of taken it on.

[Keli]

I'll be heading to Ukraine with Grey Bees. January in Ukraine sounds cold.

Sophie in this challenge every year we list 24 books we want to read at the beginning of the year, numbering them 1-24. Then each month a random number is chosen and that is the book we read from our list. (if you look in my TBR post, you will see my 24 books and that book 4 is White Mulberry so that is what I will read). Everyone will read a different book based on their list. In the last 3 years, I've read 40 books off my physical shelf using this method, so I didn't want it to end. Hope that Helps.

[Jacque T]

Had my random number selector choose for February. The number is 16.

[Linda]

May 2025 number is 11

[Keli]

As per usual, I am behind on this challenge by most of the books. I have read our January pick thus far. I have, however, managed to read two books not yet chosen off my list. So even though it is not exactly how this is played, it’s still a win seeing as this is a tbr takedown. In one sense then, I’m only 1 + current behind. 😅

I always manage to read one that has not been chosen, forgetting it is on the list. Traditionally we can make changes at the first of June if we want to swap books out. So swap those two into the Feb and Mar slot and all is great. I look at like you do, it's a win that books are coming off my TBR even if they weren't the number drawn that month. Happy Reading!

Audible's 2 for 1 Sale that ends this coming week is a gem for Around the World in 80 Books! I just picked up Korea, Italy, and Nigeria, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. I probably should buy more credits to grab up those books!
