Whoo Hooo!

Way to go Lori 🎉

[Lori Z]

Thank you! I was scrambling, but lucky to be off work to finish.

[Robin]

I'm always so impressed when I see people able to earn more than 1 badge! Way to go everyone that earned even 1 badge!
Sadly I will not be able to accomplish that.
But I did add about 4 more books that I finished reading earlier this year to my page. I feel like I was fairly close to being able to complete the challenge and earn a badge. I would have had 5 more books to go though, including the side trip. I had thought about using a book I just read earlier this month for the side trip, but it doesn't matter. Ah well. Maybe next year I will complete the yearly challenge. On to plan next year's reading..
Thank you, Janice, for organizing this!

[Janice, Moderator]

Is it Lori I just need to post a badge for? I've been setting the road trip aside. It's a busy time of year. I will get updated on all things road trip later today. Just bear with me.
