I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Better late! Dewey's Read-a-thon





Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon
My official start time was 5 a.m. and if I had remembered which weekend I would have stayed up for another hour to get done toward the challenge. sigh

Let's see what kind of trouble I can get in starting 8 1/2 hours late.  I'm just glad that was sleep time and not movie time ;-)

I like your layout for the updates. I may have to steal a couple of ideas for next time. ;)
