Happy New Year everyone!

Last update for post #23. I didn't get as much read as I would have liked but I am still very proud of how much I did get done through the past three months.

Thank you everyone who made this challenge happen and so much fun, especially Britt & Catherine. You guys are the best. I hope to be able to do this again next year.

#23 updates with a 2 point book plus review... taking my Dec total to 17.5 and overall to 40!

Can’t believe there’s only 13 days left!! I’m hopefully going to finish my longest book of the year today, the Goldfinch! Sooo good.

I really think w..."

We have so few days left! I have 5 more books I want to read this year/month and I decided to do math (adding all the pages so I could divide them to see how many pages I need to read each day to get them all finished) and the remaining pages I want to read before 2021 is exactly 2,021! I don't know why, but it just amused me so much.

Updated #23 with a 3 pointer and two quick reads.

Updated #23 for another 2 points. I have to make it through this week of work and then I have two weeks off and I am planning on reading during my time off so hopefully that will help push our numbers up.

Update #23 with a short read.

Woohoo! I’m #1! Hahaha, that won’t last long but feels good for the bit it lasts. 😂🤣

#23 updated with my first December points (7.5 points). Finished two I was so close to finishing last month but just didn't make it. Oh well, makes for a strong start for December.

#23 updated with final book for November + review.

Good job everyone! Time to bring it home in December.

Post 23 updated. Hope to get at least one more finished today (if not two).

Updated #23 - 2 more points for November equaling 12 points total for the month.

Hey Britt. I looks like you updated my numbers for the overall challenge numbers but not for the November numbers. I should have 10 points total.

Thanks!

Added another update, but it looks like I'm on message 23 now instead of 24? I guess a post above me was deleted...

Post #24 updated. 2 more points for November equaling 7 points total.

Also, question about reviews. I usually sit and simmer on a book before writing a review for it. Is there a time limit for when I need to post a review after finishing the book to get extra points? Thanks!

Post 24 updated - 3 more points

Hey Britt,

Just wondering, the numbers show I have 5 points, but should it not be 6? From post 24:
10/19 Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling; 870 pages - 4 points (750-999 pages)
10/20 Siege & Storm by Leigh Bardugo; 448 pages - 2 points (250-499 pages)

Thanks!

Post 24 updated.

I hit a bit of slump so sorry there are the first books I'm finishing for the month.

I’m so excited for this!
