Participant list and stats updated through here.



Ciara, I apologize... I had your name listed as "Clara" in the participants list until I just realized today I had misspelled it. Blame it on too much computer stuff in an under-lit room.

Carolyn, I'm so sorry to hear about your father's death. I hope you and your family are doing well and that having each other to rely on has been a source of strength to you all.

[Carolyn]

Thanks for the condolences Beth, it has been a rough couple of weeks for us. So I stopped trying to complete every prompt in every challenge, deleted quite a few over all the challenges I was in the middle of completing and left my self a more mentally easy finish. I just missed finishing 1 book. I didn't get to the book House in the Cerulean Sea so will read it as a later date.
