When does this start? Do we include books we've already read since spring started in March, or starting from now?

[ProseAndPetals, Challenges MOD]

Starting since I posted this!

That's what I thought, but wanted to check :) I'm not one for graphic novels, but will see what I can fit in. I have a kids book I just picked up from the library today before I saw this.

I was trying to put that print to push people out of their comfort zone

I figured as much! I've read graphic novels and nonfiction for challenges and wish I liked it better. I've been on book sites since 2013 and have read out of my comfort zone--it's a good thing to do.

7/10 so far :)

[Karin]

I've read 8/10, but I see you're hot on my heels. I'd better think about starting a new series and perhaps even reading a graphic novel even though they're not something I enjoy. Who knows?

[Karin]

Quick question. If a series is not numbered and can be read in any order because each book has a separate story, does it matter which book we read first?

[Karin]

I finished :)

[ProseAndPetals, Challenges MOD]

Yay! Congratulations!! You beat all of us 😖

Was it a race? There's still time for you to finish :) !

[ProseAndPetals, Challenges MOD]

I finished!!

[ProseAndPetals, Challenges MOD]

But now it’s summer so I suppose I didn’t actually finish.

Close enough :)

You finished, just late :) We weren't going for a prize or anything, and considering you were in a reading slump not all that long ago, I think it's great you read for every category.

Thank you! You guys are so nice and kind. We need more people like that in the world, so thank you. 🫶🏼
