SERIAL READER: April ReportMy deep apologies for missing the mid-April update. :(
I've not been feeling great lately and have not been on social media at all.
Instead, I've gone all hermit (but am enjoying playing Two-Point Hospital...coughs).
Here are our stats up to this post.
Welcome to our new participants, hello to those who have posted an update for the first since since they signed up, and congrats to everyone who's been reading! 🧡
Books pledged: 3,626
Books finished: 1,432 (39.5% of books pledged)
Challenges begun: 74 (out of 114 total sign-ups)
Challenges done: 3 (4% of all active/finished participants)
And now I'm off to update our lists on page 1.
Have a wonderful month of reading in May!
I want to read a total of 20 books in all variations. I'm in the middle of so many series currently and I always seem to accidentally start new ones. Since I am joining now, can I count the books I've already read? Or does it start from this point? Thanks

You can count any books read this year.
Update message #624 - well I already surpassed the 20 books. I am going to raise it to 35. I didn't realize I read so many series. Ok correction; I didn't realize I had already read so many series.
Everyone's whose posted updates recently can see their recent progress on the lists on page 1 of this thread.In other news:
