It's a good idea to inform the leaders of other yearly challenges that you've joined that you changed your user name.
It took me awhile to figure out that you initially signed up as Isabella.

2022 Reading Challenge
Bookworms Take Shelfies - 2022
Duration: January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022

Progress: 101 out of 200

It’s time to take control of your reading and rearrange your virtual bookshelves!

This yearly challenge (a variation of the 2019 Pinspiration challenge by Regina) will help you organize your reading plans around "thematic bookshelves.” Although you’re given the general concept of each of the 20 shelves, it’s up to you to fine-tune your chosen shelves to accommodate your reading tastes and plans.

You may repeat a shelf theme, if you wish, but your challenge should consist of at least two different themes, with two books minimum per shelf. Also note that you may count each book only once within this challenge, but feel free to apply that book to any of our other yearly, quarterly, and monthly challenges.

The 20 shelf themes are:

*An Author: Jennifer Ashley
(view spoiler)[1. The Seduction Of Elliot McBride by Jennifer Ashley - ***** - 6/2/2022 - 309 Pages
