Hello, everyone!


I wanted to let you know that I will be traveling this weekend - until Sunday evening. I've decided not to take my laptop with me.


If you make a completion post between now and Sunday night, I will get you updated by Monday. More than likely, it'll be done Sunday night but just in case...


Thanks for understanding,
Michelle 😊

Hi Michelle! I'm currently reading A Royal Affair which is a mystery series set post-WWII and has two female MCs who work at a marriage bureau but also solve crimes. Will this work for "Read a book that has a female MC"?

Hi Michelle. For those of us that are late to the party, should we just count books we've completed after our threads are posted? Or can we use any books we've read since the challenge started on April 1st, 2023?

I updated threads last night. I'll need a little more patience as I have gone back to work, so I'm not able to update as quickly as in the past. Thanks!

Hi Michelle! I hope you're doing well!

Here's my qestion: December has been crazy, so I haven't been posting completions as regularly as I should. I just posted a book completed 12/10 and you just geve me my new task (thanks!) For the next task, may I use a book completed since 12/10, or should I only use a book completed since this new task was posted?

Thank you!

The challenge rules say: 📘Books must be completed after the task has been posted.


HOWEVER, since it's Christmastime, I will allow all participants to use any books read in the month of December 2023 for any task I post as of today. This will be allowed through the end of this month - December 31st in your timezone. So if you read a book a week ago and it works for a task today, or next week, etc., you may use it.


I'll make an announcement in the sign-up post and share it in individual threads as well. 😊
