Thanks to Jasmine for moderating our yearly Summer TBR Challenge!

Read 14 books which was 1 more then last year.
4 were Kindle books that have been on my Kindle for awhile. Nice to add a few more books to the Finished shelf although I've probably add more then 14 books this past 3 months to the ever growing TBR shelf!

Thank you to all of the moderators who made this wonderful challenge possible. And a special thanks to Jasmine for all of her hard work.

What fun. Although I still have eleven books on my spreadsheet unread, they are there and listed so I will get to each of them before the end of the year. It was great to read so many books essentially forgotten on my list. And my thanks to everyone.

Cleared off 38 titles from my huge TBR list. The Olympics cut into my reading time! Thanks for another great challenge, Jasmine!

[Jasmine, Gatekeeper of Giveaways.]

Hey everyone! Thanks for participating. It is officially September. If you have any last minutes posts to do go ahead and do those today. I'm planning to post final scores tomorrow. As always it has been fun participating in this challenge and seeing what everyone else is reading. If you want more challenges we will have two going this fall.

Spelling Challenge

Fallen Kingdom Challenge

Feel free to participate in one or the other or both. If you need a break the next challenge after these will be the Winter Centuries Challenge. Happy reading everyone!

[Linda]

Thanks to Jasmine for setting up this challenge. I finished about 25 books, most of which had been in waiting since 2013! Most of them were worth the wait.
