2022 Reading Challenge
March - A Few of My Favorite Things
Duration: March 1 – March 31, 2022

Progress: 9 out of 9

This challenge is based on lyrics from the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, The Sound of Music.

🎵 When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad. 🎵

If you are new to our group and/or our group challenges, please take a moment to check out the Yearly, Quarterly, Monthly Challenges - Start Here thread for more information on how our challenges are run.

Hello friends!

Please note that the challenge leader of a monthly or quarterly challenge is only asked to continue updating the participants list for one week after the end of the challenge concerned.

If you post after that one-week period, don't expect to get your progress updated on The List, unless the challenge leader is particularly generous and kind-hearted.
