Cheers, Carolien. I hope whatever struck your interest goes well for you.

I'm roughly at 70% complete across all my buffet challenges. Just a few more to go in each, and the ones that qualify for multiple categories will certainly speed things up.

Closing out the month with the Expand Your Horizon challenge done and three works left for the Quest for Women. I'll likely finish up my entire chosen buffet in September, and then it's onto planning for 2022 amongst doing some more contemporary reading.

Wow, Aubrey, you rock. I love that you have timed this to have the last part of the year for planning and free reading.

Cheers, Sara. I wouldn't say it's so much timed as taking advantage that the number of books I plan for challenges tends to be quite a few less than what I typically get through the course of the year, so. Whenever I end up finishing, there's always a pile of 21st c. works that have been on my shelves for too long that need my attention. Provides a good breather before the next waves of bingoes and buffets hit.

Quest for Women is finally complete, with that, my 2021 Buffet Challenges are finished as well! I know I left room for others, but my post-challenge plans have taken on enough life of their own that I can see them filling out the rest of 2021 quite nicely. Means I'll have material ready and waiting for 2022 at least!

Congrats Aubrey, very impressive :)

[Annette]

Yay, Aubrey! Well done! Best of reading for the remainder of the year!

[Shaina]

Congratulations, Aubrey! I like many of the books on your list. I did read All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville West this year and I loved it. Looks like I can pick one from your list for next year.

[Carolien]

Congratulations, Aubrey!

[Kathleen]

Ah yes, reading plans taking on a life of their own--I can relate to that! Your quest covered a lot of interesting ground, Aubrey--congrats!

[Sara, Old School Classics]

Congrats, Aubrey. You always broaden my horizons with your choices.

[Luke]

Cheers, everyone :)

Shaina, I'm glad to hear that. Looking forward to seeing what you pick.

Kathleen, don't they always. Keeps things interesting at any rate.

Sara, my tastes seem to have developed to the point where I can do nothing but. It's always a journey, but mostly a good one.
