Bess
Welcome to the group!
I suggest that you read the first post in this thread which explains the challenge rules and how to update your progress.
Since you're new to the group, you would greatly benefit from that post's link to the "Yearly, Quarterly, Monthly Challenges - Start Here" thread as well.

My suggestions above apply to all our group's challenges: monthly, quarterly, and yearly.

Happy reading

oshizu | 5762 comments 2022 Yearly Theme Poll

I'm posting this message in case any Serial Reader participants weren't aware that we are running a poll to choose our 2022 yearly theme. The poll closes on November 14th.

Goodreads' recent flub in changing our privacy settings without our consent means that folks who have yet to change them backi to allow our monthly messages might not be voting.
So please, if you haven't done so already, cast a vote in the 2022 Yearly Theme Poll (simply click on this link).

Warmly,
oshizu 🖖
