Lisa - Will you update the Facebook page (FAH Reading Challenge) from last year? https://www.facebook.c..."

I think it is better to make a new one, if anyone is willing to do that - I can write on the one I make: please move to this page for the next challenge, or something like that?

I think posting on Facebook (FAHns group) it is a good idea, there were people there doing the challenge
Happy holidays

I think Thank You is not enough, you wonderful people. The ideas are great! Promoting the new challenge... I only did it last year on the Facebook group (I created a page for the challenge)... I think I didn't do much

Oh, I am so sorry for your loss

Lisa & Drama - I would enjoy participating in a FAH Reading Challenge in 2025, no matter which way it's done.

Melissa, it was my pleasure ^_^ I loved all the books you have all used in the challenge, and glad that people enjoyed it.
It can be a good idea, creating a thread, to be fair, for new ideas.

Thank you, I really appreciated <3 it has not been an easy task and maybe I have been a little bit naive about the difficulty of following the challenge online (on different app).

Hello,
how are you? Hope everything is good. I was thinking about what to do next year with this challenge. I haven't prepared anything yet and honestly I don't think I will be able to do it (I hoped to be able to follow this year challenge more but... life got in the way hehehe).
I don't know if any of you is still interested in having another challenge next year, but if you do I was thinking to make it even easier - if possible. So, instead of prompt/tracks, the only challenge would be: read a book and link it/connect it to one of the FAH sketches online. I think this could give more freedom to those that want to participate. What do you think? Do you have any other ideas? Would you like to continue? XXX

Enjoy your time in Dublin ^_^ Had you already seen the new show? Or will the one in Dublin be the first time?
Absolutely do not feel obliged to continue reading for the challenge (I am finding it difficult, sigh), I set this challenge up for the FAHns readers and it is a safe place, it's for fun

Fellow readers, I am still here - hope you are all good and enjoy reading and everything else you are doing in your lives.

I can confirm that you did nothing wrong there ;)

Congratulations Nathalie!

Hey, I'm going to be on holiday until August 15th - I'll see you then, enjoy your reading

Oh, is it possible that it has been translated in English? I remember someone mentioned this book to me

thank you Nathalie

before I forget, I was thinking of doing the challenge again next year - though, I have trouble in organizing and keep organizing thing, so I have searched how a reading challenge could go without prompts/suggestions. There are reading challenge where you don't have them, people just need to follow the main theme - in our case FAH. So, I was thinking, for next year: read books and connect them to any FAH sketch? Readers will find a connection.

I am not able to plan anything at the moment, but I will be happy to hear your gig stories, if you want to share them

I have donned my cowl and taken up my candle!

I will keep going with the challenge, but my progress will be slow. I set my reading list..."

you did a great job, to be fair - fair play

oooh, you have reached Brother Michael level!

Nathalie wrote: "PS: @ Lisa: I read The Handmaid's Tale as an ebook. I haven't a preferred cover to be used in your monthly overview. ;-)"
thank you Nathalie

I can tell you like mysteries/detectives stories and love how you managed to use most of those stories for the challenge ^_^
