Wow, that was fast!
I just now made my final choices for my December challenge, haha.
Actually, I visited your thread when it popped up in my Notifications feed, thinking you'd already created some of your posts for 2022. But, of course, you're waiting on the 2022 yearly challenges. 🤣


message 38: by Mie (new)

Mie | 2169 comments Haha, fast? If I hadn’t been so tired last night, I would have done it then. D… time difference 😜

Yes, exactly! I mean, I could certainly put up some Serial Reader suggestions, but it would be a very short list until I know, what the 2022 yearlies are all about - that will hopefully add to it!

Gosh, can’t wait 👏👏👏


message 39: by oshizu (new)

oshizu | 5762 comments There were a half dozen comments from Dec 2020 so I didn't notice at first your prep for ATY 2022.
I'm beyond impressed that you've already planned every single book for that challenge! How amazing!
