Congrats on finishing your first book.
Is "Time Travel" the sub-theme of your Travel shelf?
Also, please return to post #2 of this thread to review how to update your progress by expressing it as a fraction. Thanks!

Wpw. Seam! You have a shelf centering on despair?
Here I am bailing water just to stay upbeat! ;-)

Important

I'm about to start updating everyone's progress but, before I do, I wish to clarify how this challenge works.
*The 20 predetermined bookshelf themes are only general themes. If you choose a bookshelf theme, you must create your own, narrower sub-theme. *
*Example #1: if you choose "Diversity (in any of its forms)," you must select ONE of those forms; it may not include books across the wide spectrum of what diversity represents.
*Example #2: If you choose "Love, Friendship, or Marriage," choose ONE of these three themes or a smaller sub-theme thereof like, I don't know, Enemies to Lovers?

@Gail: Would you please add a subtheme that fits your books?
Would it be "Authors of Color"?

Okay, back to updating.
