I know, right?!

Sounds clear to me. I'm in.
Now to start gathering my books...

I sure hope to do better next year than my pathetic showing this year. (Slumps--I hate them!!)

I know the two authors I'm going to choose but not which books I'm going to put in the Book Pool!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and explanation. Looking forward to taking part in the challenges.

That's ok. I love the flexibility of the Book Pool & how I have discovered so many new books/authors through it.

Hear, hear!

[Lesley]

Sounds good. I shall start working on my Pool books and deciding my authors, and hope, like Barb in Maryland, to overcome my reading slump!

[Cphe]

At the moment I can't decide what to do next week - so I'll just go with the flow.

[Jenn]

Thank you for working it all out! Can't wait to choose and see what everyone else chooses!

I’m not sure about authors yet, but I have been casually building a “possible pool 2026” shelf here, just in case! I’ll have to pare that down…;o)

[Amanda]

Sounds great!

Glad you like the 2026 plans, Amanda!
