I completed all 16 titles from my January list, including finishing up the Anna Pigeon mystery series. The last Anna Pigeon book was published in 2016, but it did not read at all like a finale, so I'm hoping Mrs. Barr will write more books featuring her spunky National Park Ranger even though it's been a while.
Thanks, Blagica, for leading the challenge.

Almost forgot to post this one. I don't think I'm going to finish anything else by tomorrow.
Thanks for running the challenge!
