I agree with Marleen. This isn't so great. I liked The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared and The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden but only made it through this one because it was an audiobook and I updated my challenges while listening to it.

I liked the 100-Year-Old Man, too. The author has such interesting titles! It's hard to enjoy a book when you don't like the main characters ain't it?!

Hi Sunny, I’d like to change my goal to three books, I overestimated the amount of books I could read in three months for my ‘bookmarked books’ challenge next to the buddy reads I had already committed to, and I’d like to set myself up for success in December.

So update to message #5: 2/3.

[Rebecca]

Update to message #9: 38/40

I read:
Christmas at the Island Hotel
Written in the Stars

Both are Christmas romances (or at least take place during Christmas). December is the perfect time for romance!

I also read:
12 Essential Skills for Great Preaching

I gained some insight on sermon planning from this (and have even attempted to incorporate some of his method), but think his method is a little clunky for weekly use. I did like his insight into long-term planning and pre-planning though.

Sunny it appears you missed my post mentioning that I raised my goal. I have the impression since I disabled the option to show my messages in my update feed it's wrecking havoc with notifications in challenges. Sorry for the inconvinience.
