November - Things with Wings
Update - message - #19 3/6 completed
Everyone has been updated through here. We've read 47% of our pledged books! 👏🤗oshizu, 10 stars?!? Must be a really good chunkster! 🐉😄
Martha, some of our members enjoy sharing their thoughts or star ratings on their reads, while others don't. It's totally fine no matter your preference, so you do you. I rarely provide feedback myself, but the one time I did in this challenge -- mentioning Spirit Run -- you learned about a book that includes some of your passions. I'm so glad I strayed from my routine this time. 🦅🏃♀️😃
Patricia, congratulations on completing the challenge! 🚀😃 Yes, your birds in the background certainly count. I'm doing the same thing with Wuthering Heights. For future challenges, please note that you should update with the original post number (where you first joined the challenge) throughout the entire challenge duration, so you would have updated #51, not #95. In this challenge, you would add the books to #51 as you read them, then make a new post saying "Updated #51: 4/4." If you want to show your books there, too, that's fine, just as long as you include your original message number and progress.
If you have trouble locating your first post, you'll find that many challenge leaders include the original message number (or a link to it) beside the participants' names in message #2. Personally, I like to copy the link from my original post, and paste it into my member's corner page. Saves me time in the long run.
Thanks again for reading with us! I hope I haven't overwhelmed you. Feel free to message me if you need any help. 🤗📚

Thanks, TerryJane. It's been my first challenge with this group and I've enjoyed searching for contenders. I have two more wing books on the go but it's doubtful that I'll finish either by tomorrow.
Martha☀ wrote: "It's been my first challenge with this group and I've enjoyed searching for contenders."I enjoy the search as well. My favorite part of the search is trying to find a book that will satisfy multiple challenges. It's a bit like a scavenger hunt for me. While a book can only count once per challenge, it can be counted in other challenges, as long as it meets the requirements.
