Icewineanne | 158 comments Finished my 6th book The Jazz Files 31/1/22 3.75
Almost a quarter way through the challenge. That’s because we were in a semi lockdown with nothing open other than grocery stores & takeout. Everything opened back up yesterday (Jan 31) so my monthly book count will get slower but at least I got a good head start. Maybe I will actually finish this challenge 🐝
