Week 51/52 - Farewell to 2020

[Joanna]

This is it - the final week of 2020. 2021 is on the horizon. We all know what a strange and unusual year this was. Nothing went according to plan and the world turned upside down. I know we are all hopeful that the new year will bring a return to the normalcy we all crave. Thank you to everyone for participating in Book Quest 2020 despite everything going on. Whether you only read one book or reached the 52 book goal, be proud of what you accomplished in this year!

A couple small housekeeping things... the final day to enter your 2020 books is December 31st. Please have everything entered before 11:59pm. Drawing for the grand prize will be on January 18th and winners will be contacted via the email provided on Beanstack.

There will be a Book Quest 2021! You will once again be able to join the challenge through Beanstack. However, the program will not be live until January 6th.

Finally, what book are you all hoping to finish the year out with?

Happy New Year!!

Thank you so much for running the program. Even if I don’t always comment, it still brings me so much joy to be part of the group.
I am finishing Paul Tremblay’s Survivor Song which will probably be my last book of 2020.

Hello. I am currently reading Quackery (A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything) by Lydia Kang and Nate Pedersen. I hope that everyone has a great New Year. Thank you for bringing back the program next year! I really enjoy completing it.

Had a blast this year reading my 200 book quote. Looking forward in participating in the program next year.
I hope to finish reading Fortune and Glory by Janet Evanovich. Can't go wrong with a Stephanie Plum book to end the year with a good laugh.
Happy New Year to All!!!!

As always, I had a blast participating in the reading challenge. I finished The Extraordinaries by TJ Klune and read Royal Holiday by Jasmine Guillory (reading the series completely out of order), and am now reading Tea and Treachery.
I listened to The Hobbit (finished it on 1/2- my trip home) and am now listening to The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama (for the online book club for this month)- fascinating to listen to- I will probably go back and read it after I've finished listening to it- it's not always possible to pay attention to listening in rush hour traffic.
