I am going to have to post a fail for this challenge for December. Just way too busy with work and holiday stuff. Next year!!

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 2365 comments I don't think I'm going to get to mine either...too much going on.

LittleRedRidingHood | 315 comments I finished The Handmaid's Tale and I liked it. Now I'm chipping away The Unseen World and this one is really sad so far, but beautifully written.


Danielle  Gypsy Soul (afdaniellet) | 1919 comments Marty,

Finished both of my picks and the bonus. I really enjoyed all three of them - thanks for the picks.

I believe Ezi had plans to revamp it some, but would eventually continue it. There may not be a January challenge, as I believe she had some demands on her time right before the holiday and didn't have a lot of free time to work on it, but I do believe she'll have some interesting things in store for Dusty Bookshelf in 2020!

Oh I'm so glad to hear this. I really enjoy the Dusty Bookshelf challenge even though I have come to realize that December is just not a month I achieve many goals...

@Carrie, I finished all three picks and liked them, great choices :)

Marty (martymill) | 1300 comments Woot! I managed on book this month! Better than none at all! I read Darling Jim by Christian Mørk today on the plane to visit a friend in Florida so a very quick read. I liked the way the story was divided into the two sisters' diaries and Niall's quest to find out what really happened to them in their aunt's house. There were two twists to the plot that were fantastic. I gave it four stars.
