Hey, all. How did you do for week 1? I am still finishing my read but anticipate being done with it tomorrow morning. I just remember slow and steady wins the race lol

What might you read this week?

Have fun at the party. And I want to read The Yellow Wallpaper someday myself. It was mentioned in detail in the book A Head Full of Ghosts and I am intrigued now!

Happy new year!!

Hello, AJ. Welcome to the group. That's awesome that you write books. It's something I've always wanted to do but am too afraid to try lol

Hello, Kelly! I am so glad you joined our little group. Those are great rules you made. I believe 98% of my reads this year will be new to me too. I can't wait for this challenge to start! :)

Oh my neighbors are really loud too!

And I'm not ready for the holidays either lol Can we put them off another 1-2 months?

I've started watching "Pretty Little Liars" from the beginning ... again. Did anyone else watch that and if so who was your favorite character? Mine was/is Spencer :)

Hey, all. I thought I'd put up a general chat thread so we could discuss whatever comes to mind.

Are you all ready for the holidays?

Awesome! I read a graphic novel this year I enjoyed. Maybe I'll check out something manga next year :)

I think I might have too! lol
