Hi Alyana :)

It varies a lot to be honest with you. Depends on activity here, my own life etc. Everything from every other day to once a month. Sorry I can't be more precise. I'm not quite caught up yet. Health has prevented me from sitting on computer for long at a time this month, but I will be caught up fairly soon and will post an update then!

Hi. I'm sorry for the late answer. You have no original message, but I will add you and use this one. The important thing when I update you isn't the original message though. It is that you tell me how many books you have completed when you update me. You can use your original message, but you don't have to :)

If anyone is still looking for an X name, here are a couple of options.

Xanthe Westlake is in Paula Brackston's Found Things series. The books are an unusual mix of historical fiction, fantasy, time travel, mystery, and romance. I enjoyed the first two titles, and am hoping to read the third this year.

I also recently added The Poet X to my TBR. It's an award-winning poetry, young adult, coming-of-age debut with a lead character named Xiomara Batista.

Hi Winter, thanks for the update. My name has been entered twice on the list with two different goals. My original message is #7 and the original goal was 10. If you can raise my goal to 26 that would be great as I have my progress on 18/26 now. Thank you so much.

P.S. Alyana and Alyana Pearl are both me. You can just leave it as Alyana with 18/26.
