trying to squeeze in 2 more books before the end of the month - I have a long one in progress (more than 15 hrs) and then my LGBT

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I have one maybe two more too Dee! I will definitely hit 30, more than I was aiming for - I guess I really do keep my earbuds fused to my ears!

[Dee]

i really wanted to hit all the books, but that just wasn't going to happen - i've been so disjointed at work its been hard to concentrate - but so far, so good today - i've listened to over 3hrs while verifying data

That was fun! I hope we do it again sometimd.

Congrats, Shan!

[Inky]

Probably a silly question but we can start at the lowest number of books and then bump the level higher right? What I mean is I only want to give myself 5 books to start with because I've been in a reading slump. I some want to pressure myself into reading so many books. Does that make sense? Sorry if it's confusing.

[Dee]

hi Barbara - unfortunately, this challenge just finished - but stay tuned for another one in a few months

but generally speaking yes - you can start low and bump up as needed

[Inky]

Awesome! And no problem about it ending! I may do something like this for myself just to kinda get back in the swing of things. I wasn't lying when I said I've been in a serious reading slump. Having a bit of a goal may help. Thank you for responding!

[Dee]

there are lots of other challenges in the group you can check out - many that run on a monthly or yearly basis - like the spell the month or the monthly challenge

sign-ups for the pick it for me (july) will be opening soon; as will the next sign-ups for the meet and greet challenge (that will run from Aug-Sep)
